100,000 Steps Challenge

Yesterday I introduced a challenge to my team.

100,000 steps for a week starting Monday (April 6th) and ending Monday (April 13th).  

It is doable.  That means taking 14,000 steps/day.  It is easy to track your steps; you can do so with your phone (health app) as I do with my iPhone Health App.    

Now that I spend most of my time in the apartment.  I try not to sit during the day.  I walk as I do conference calls with colleagues and students.  I even walk as I listen to the news in the morning. In fact, I am walking as I'm typing this blog on my phone, and every night, I read my book as I walk around the apartment and listen to music.  It is not ideal but certainly doable and could be fun.

We can all go through these challenging times if we maintain our physical, mental, and emotional discipline. I am sure of that.

There is a Peruvian proverb that I learned when I traveled to Machu Picchu:  "Little by little one walks far."   We can do this!  Let's do it together.

Take care of yourself, your family, your colleagues, your clients, and your community. And STAY ACTIVE!

I hope you decide to do this challenge with me.

Also, do something this weekend that you’ll thank yourself for on Monday.  (Please let it not be Netflix or Streaming videos)
