How it's counted

• A day counts when your phone or watch records 7,000+ steps
• Hit 20 days in October and you have finished
• Walks, runs, hikes, errands, chasing the kids: every step counts
• Steps sync from Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android) in the Adi.fit app
• Days follow your own time zone
• Why 7,000 and not 10,000? A large 2025 review in The Lancet Public Health found people averaging about 7,000 steps a day had much lower risks of early death, heart disease and dementia than people at 2,000. For many people, that's a normal day plus a brisk 20 to 30 minute walk.
• New to walking? Build up over a week or two.
• Muscle burn is normal. Chest pain, dizziness, unusual breathlessness or sharp joint pain: stop and get checked.
