Tracking Movement And Submitting Results

How do I track my steps or physical activity? (4 options)

  1. Use your fitness tracker or smart phone to determine how many steps you achieve each day.
  2. Download the free ‘Google Fit’ app or other tracking platform to allow your smart phone to track your step count.
  3. Enter your daily physical activity into this Activity to Steps Converter to convert various movement activities into a step total.
  4. Exercise for 30+ minutes at the gym, pool, spin studio, or at home to achieve the equivalent of 7000 steps (for the purpose of this contest).
