Tips for Successful Challenges
- Start with steps – They're easy to track and everyone can participate regardless of fitness level.
- Keep it short at first – 1-2 week challenges work best until your team gets into the habit.
- Set achievable goals – Unrealistic goals can demotivate. Start conservative and increase over time.
- Celebrate milestones – Enable milestone notifications to keep energy high throughout the challenge.
- Consider prizes – Even small prizes can significantly boost participation.
