This is a TEAM CHALLENGE – stay connected and motivated with your teammates in the ‘Your Team’ section of the FitBit app. You’ll be able to chat and message with your teammates during this challenge.

GOAL: We trekked South America back in November- let’s head around the world and see the sights in ASIA!
This is a Fitbit challenge that will unlock new maps, landmarks, and cool stuff along the way.

Here is how steps are calculated:

Every day of the challenge, each team’s daily steps will be collected and averaged. Those daily averages will be added to create an overall total score. Those who haven’t contributed any steps in a given day will not be included in their team’s average for that day.
The team with the highest TOTAL step score wins.
(TOTAL step score = team average day 1 + team average day 2 +….. + team average day 30)

Keep on moving all challenge long!

DURATION: 30 days (May 1 – May 30)
