Fit Factor Kids: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

We've heard the proverb many times and you probably have too. Here at Fit Factor Kids we really believe that no matter what our current fitness level is, we can all take that first step toward even better health. And with your help, we're hoping to inspire the Twitter (and Facebook) world to take that step with us...thus the FFK walking challenge, "We Walk the Tworld."

That means, we want to gather a team to walk 100,000,000 million steps - one step for every Twitter user. (Man, that's a lot of steps, isn't it!?!) Then by getting the word out about what we're doing, hopefully we can inspire others to take their first step.

How it works
For the month of May, we're asking you to record your step counts and send them to us. You can send them daily, weekly, whenever it works for you. Just send them to us:

By replying to this blog
As a reply to @FitFactorKids on Twitter
As a direct message on Twitter
On our Facebook fan page
In an email to information@fitfactorkids.com (for those of you that want a little more privacy)

We'll keep a total of everyone's numbers and let you know how we're doing against the goal. Can we do it? Honestly, we don't know. But we sure are going to try.

So, what's better than sending us your step counts?
Sending us step counts for your group! The great thing about walking is that pretty much everyone can do it - parents, kids, friends, co-workers. We're walking with all of them...and can I say that our six year old son is really excited about it! See how many people you can recruit from your inner circle, because we all know that success is that much easier when you have a team around you for support.

This is no contest
Trust us when we say, we're not here to judge. No matter how many steps you take in a day/week/month, EVERY step helps us get closer to the team goal, so please send them to us. We promise, we'll be happy to accept whatever you can give. (Did we mention we're trying to get to 100,000,000 steps???)

So what do you say? Are you with us?
