How to start a 30-day walking challenge

This free challenge helps you practise a consistent walking routine. It tracks whether you met your chosen extra daily steps target, rather than promising a particular weight-loss result.

  1. Find your baseline. Check your usual daily steps using your phone or activity tracker.
  2. Choose a manageable increase. Enter an extra-step goal above your normal activity, starting small if you are new to walking.
  3. Record each completed day. When you meet your extra-step goal, select Mark Today Complete.
  4. Review your progress. Use the 30-day grid and streak summary to stay motivated. A missed day is a chance to restart, not a failure.

Example daily walking target

If you typically walk 4,000 steps a day and decide to add 1,000 steps, aim for approximately 5,000 total daily steps. The challenge target field should contain 1,000 extra steps, not 5,000 total steps.

Your challenge data is stored locally in this browser. Clearing browser storage or switching devices can remove your saved progress. Choose a target appropriate for your fitness and health.
