THE BEAT PIERS CHALLENGE FOR AUGUST

Welcome to the very first 'BEAT PIERS' monthly challenge, part of our PAUL NEWMAN CUP Competition - and it's an easy one to get us ALL started!

A step challenge for the month of August (1 to 31 August inclusive).

Please sign up here: https://thenewmancup.com/beat-piers

Normally I will have done the challenge first and set you my target for you to beat; but for this challenge I'm going to do it concurrent with you (as I didn't start stepping a month ago 😂!).

I'll post my results on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th to allow you to see if you are ahead or behind me; but please don't report your own step count until the 1st of September. And if you want to post pictures of you out and about getting your step count up and tell us all how you are getting on then please feel free to post them in SOS PulseNet as a reply to this post there! Be great to see how you are all getting on!!

Please remember that I'm a 54-year-old 'office dweller' with and an arthritic hip. 😮 Meaning? I'm not going to be hard to beat! 🥹 So, there is no excuse for not getting involved! All you need is a smart watch to record your steps and everyone who enters gets points whether you end up beating me or not!

Any questions? *'Ask Piers'!
