May Monthly Challenge
10,000 steps/day in May!
The challenge is to accumulate 10,000 steps/day at least 5 days/week.
1.There are numerous health benefits from walking, low-level activity, and stay moving throughout the day. So we are going to incorporate those things together in our step challenge!
2. You can accumulate your steps in any way, BUT we highly encourage you to get a majority of your steps outside AND to walk with someone else. This gets the health benefits of sun exposure, fresh air, vitamin D, etc. AND building relationships, community, and purpose with one another. Good things happen when we walk together outside.
3. Any fitness tracker, app, watch, etc. works for the challenge! We just want the steps counted and achieved! (If you have no access to steps, we will consider 1 mile = 2,000 steps. SO 5 miles = 10,000 steps)
– FAQ
What if I’m injured?
Don’t do the challenge. You could substitute 30-60+ minutes of low-level cardio on a machine that doesn’t affect your injury.
Do workouts count toward my steps?
Yes! Any activity counts that you walk or run in.
What if I miss a day? Can I make it up the following day?
Yes, as long as you don’t mind doing the math!
What is the prize?
Any prize you feel for your gym members. CrossFit Mayhem Will be giving away T-shirts, Memberships, and more.

SCORING EXPLAINED

It’s great to have a copy on-hand in the kitchen for reference!
VEGANS AND VEGETARIANS – PART 1/3
In case you missed it yesterday…
Even with the protein target, vegans and vegetarians can certainly do this challenge! The “problem” is (generally) non-animal protein sources contain a lot of carb and fat grams per every gram of protein. You potentially could gain weight to eat enough protein!
See more here – you may be surprised in how many black bean or cheese calories you have to eat in comparison to chicken for the same number of protein grams.

This means things like protein powders can be a great addition to diets without meat. It can allow those individuals to hit their protein target without overeating carb & fat calories.
