How can I track my steps?
There are many free steps trackers available for phones and any of those will work. Each week we will also provide Activity Conversion Charts so you can track steps for activities that are not walking.
If you are on a team, we will provide your team leaders with these conversion charts to hand out or post in your workplace.
For this challenge we are going by the honor system by asking all participants to be honest when reporting their steps for each week.
