The Step Up Challenge

My name is Anagha Rao, and I am a Teen Squad Volunteer at the Day-Riverside Library. For my Teen Squad project, I have founded a physical activity or fitness challenge for teens called the Step Up Challenge to encourage teens to stay physically active this summer.  
​

I first got the idea for the Step Up Challenge when I realized how my step count drastically decreased due to the pandemic and staying at home. I tried setting goals to get a certain amount of physical activity, but I had a difficult time staying motivated. I thought a fun challenge would be the perfect way to motivate people to get more physical activity while winning prizes at the same time. 
​

In order to participate in the Step Up Challenge, go to any SLCPL library and pick up a tracker. Then, log the number of steps, distance walked, or time spent exercising on the tracker. If you miss a day, keep going and don’t worry about it. Once you have logged 30 days of physical activity, bring it into any SLCPL branch for a prize. If you want an additional challenge, there is a fitness bingo that challenges you to try new types of activities and stretch outside of your comfort zone. After you have gotten a blackout, bring the tracker to any SLCPL branch for a bonus prize.

​The challenge will run from June 21st until August 16th. It's important to make sure you plan ahead and have enough time for completing the 30 days.


Ask for a Step Up Challenge tracker at your local City Library branch!
