Okay, now you are all probably asking yourselves, "what is a stepbet?" and looking at your screen with those crinkles across your forehead.
Well, because they are better at words than I am, here is how the app describes StepBet:
StepBet is a fitness game that motivates you to be more active. In each StepBet game, players pay an initial "bet" and commit to meeting certain step goals during every week of the challenge. If you meet your goals each week, you split the pot with the other winners.The cost (or 'bet') is $40USD per challenge and each of the challenges lasts 6 weeks (5 weeks of elimination and 1 week of warm-up).
When I signed up, the app linked with my FitBit and gave me a predetermined number of steps that I needed to reach based on my step history. Four days a week, I need to walk 13,151 steps which is only a little over my normal average amount now and two days a week, I need to walk 16,840 steps. Other than having one free day a week, if you miss your steps, you get eliminated from the challenge.
I am so excited to see how many steps I can do every day and while I know that those two days a week are going to be tough, I plan to knock them out first so I don't find myself walking my ass off at the end of each week. Keep you fingers crossed and send me all your steppin' vibes! I will post how my week went in my weekly updates.
