Set a personal step goal and stay on track with a built-in streak system. Life happens, so you can choose up to 3 rest days that won't break your streak — giving you flexibility without losing your progress. Ready to push further? Enroll in a challenge and take your step game to the next level. Each challenge has its own rules around rest days and step targets, so make sure to read them before enrolling. And if a challenge doesn't go as planned, don't give up — you can always re-enroll and try again. Your personal step goal and streak are always yours to keep, no matter what happens with a challenge.
