marcicatThe BIG STEP CHALLENGE begins at work today... I cannot even imagine what this will be like.
[BACKSTORY: the company I work for was purchased by another company years ago, with promises of 'completely separate' (haha), and has slowly been getting integrated ever since. This year we've been granted the (dubious?) privilege of access to the same benefits the other employees get. Including being part of their fitness challenges.]
APPARENTLY the step challenge is a BIG DEAL. We received a presentation about the new benefits that included several VERY SERIOUS references to the step challenges. As in, someone asked if they have to sync their step tracker to the app every day, and the presenter was all, 'no, no, except OF COURSE if it was during a step challenge, and then once a day would be the minimum, because you'd want to make sure you weren't letting down your team.' (That's literally NICER than the presenter was about it.)
The maximum number of steps PER DAY that count towards the challenge is 40,000 STEPS PER PERSON. That is a WILDLY high number of steps. I don't know if I've EVER gotten that many steps in a day. (Maybe when we were walking around at Disney??? LOL I was younger then; that's my story and I'm sticking to it.)
WHAT WILL THE NEXT (okay I don't actually know how long the challenge is -- a month, maybe?) SOME AMOUNT OF TIME BRING INTO MY UNIVERSE OF EXPERIENCES??? HOPEFULLY SOME FUNNY STORIES TO SHARE!!!

Date: 2025-02-10 02:39 pm (UTC)...what??? does your job naturally require constantly walking around a gigantic building? My lifetime best in fitbit is around 35,000 and that was a day where I was running for like 6 hours straight. And then I think I spent two days recovering.
