Think 10,000 steps sounds like a lot? You may be surprised to learn how many steps you walk each day already. You will wear the pedometer from the time you get up in the morning, until you go to bed at night- including Stroller Strides class! This competition is about TOTAL STEPS taken each day.
*Pedometers can be purchased at many local stores for under $20; pedometer apps for smart phones can be used for this activity as well. Please read the directions and calibrate to your stride for accuracy!
