Why Choose Motion Connected’s 2025 Step Challenge Calendar?
At Motion Connected, we understand that every organization is unique, which is why our 2025 Step Challenge Calendar is designed with flexibility in mind. Whether you’re looking to kick-start your wellness initiatives or build on an existing program, our step challenges provide something for everyone. Here are a handful of reasons why our 2025 Step Challenge Calendar
From fostering team collaboration to encouraging personal milestones, each challenge is crafted to motivate employees at all levels to stay active and healthy throughout the year.
1. A Year Full of Movement
Our 2025 calendar is packed with a variety of challenges, each focusing on different aspects of physical wellness. From kicking off the year with “Resolutions in Motion” to conquering heart health goals in February, we’ve crafted challenges to keep the energy high all year long. Plus, with fun themes like “Travel Through Tuscany” and “Outdoor Adventure,” participants can engage with a sense of adventure while focusing on their fitness.
2. Individual and Team-Based Challenges
Some challenges are designed for individual goals, while others allow your entire organization to work together. For example, “Move More Month” encourages team collaboration to reach daily step goals, while “Fall Step-Off” pits two seasonal teams against each other in a fun, friendly competition to rack up the most steps.
3. Customizable Goals
Each challenge comes with specific step goals that are flexible enough to accommodate participants of varying fitness levels. For example, in the “Step into Heart Health” challenge, individuals are encouraged to walk a total of 128,000 steps by the end of the month, while “Beat Your Best” invites participants to improve their personal step record each day. These adaptable goals ensure that everyone, no matter their activity level, can participate and feel accomplished.
4. Engaging and Fun Themes
Challenges like “Travel Through Tuscany” allow participants to virtually experience new cultures and locations as they work toward their step goals. Week by week, participants “travel” through charming towns in Tuscany, experiencing the history and beauty of the region—all while increasing their physical activity. Themes like this provide a fresh and exciting twist on traditional step challenges, keeping participants engaged and motivated.
5. Promoting Health, Inside and Out
The health benefits of regular walking are well documented: lower cholesterol, improved cardiovascular health, better sleep, and even better mental well-being. Our challenges aim to foster a culture of wellness within your organization, helping employees form long-term habits that benefit both their physical and mental health.
