TCC Results - We walked Across Canada! New Challenge Beginning April 28th - Suggestions

HI All. We are ending this challenge with a bang. Smokin' A's wins this challenge by approximately 500 km (give or take, with team members missing numbers from both teams).

Congrats to everyone. I hope you all found this motivating. I certainly did. 

For the next challenge I would like to propose a Pedometer Challenge. Steps only. So whatever steps you make on your pedometer counts. You don't need a FitBit, you can get a pedometer for under $10. Or, for those who are in the challenge, and have figured out your kilometres, you can convert your kilometres into steps using this calculator http://www.convertunits.com/from/km/to/step It's actually pretty accurate. 

There were a few people who don't cycle, who were concerned with the amount of kms people like me would get from spinning and cycling. Which totally makes sense! 

Thoughts? And congrats to us all!!

I would like that challenge  the reason I didn't sign up for the last challenge is because my only exercise is steps. so I didn't think I would get the miles or km that others would get  but  I am fitbit addicted and OCD on steps

  Great job Everyone!!!                   I am in!! Step addict too. I walk alot everyday

Sounds like fun. Count me in!

Cool. Have my fitbit Zip..I'm in!🚶

Yay! How about we cross another country, like Australia or the United States?  I have always wanted to visit Australia...just an idea.  Thank you for organizing and I would do it again for sure.  I do not count steps, I do km, so I would just use the converter.  I hope to get a fitbit in the future but am waiting for the newest one to come out as the force is no longer being sold. 

I'm in...  

We are all awesome!! Woot!

I would join a pedometer challenge and I like the idea of another country....we could see how far we can go! Maybe even Europe!

Yeah, I wondered about that too - I went from stepping about 25 km a week to stepping and cycling up to 90!  So it will be fun to just go by the FitBit.  If I forget and wear it while cycling, I've also figured out how many steps (and km!) to remove from the total.  (Actually - we don't really have to do that, do we? If we're moving our legs enough for FitBit to catch it while cycling, we should be able to use those FitBit steps, right?)

Edited to add: Thank you so much for doing this, Kelly! It's been such a great motivator for me. And I admit, even though the cycling is a bit of an unfair advantage for some folks in the previous challenge, it was the challenge that partially motivated me to cycle as much as I have been in this cold weather!
