19,406 people and 1,263 teams participated in the 2008 WOMAN Challenge!
Here is what others have said about the
WOMAN Challenge!

"I never realized just how much time I spend doing "nothing" - it could really count as something big. I started with the goal of just getting moving on a daily basis, beginning with only 1000 steps a day. In just five short weeks I've gone from barely walking around half a block with my teammates to walking an average of six miles a day while on vacation in Chicago! Those 10-15000 steps equated to a weight loss of five pounds - without cutting my favorite foods while on vacation! This challenge has really inspired me to keep going and work harder!"

Bonus Challenges

Sorry, Bonus Challenges are no longer available. The last day to complete Bonus Challenges for the 2008 WOMAN Challenge was July 5, 2008.

Bonus Challenges are a way for you and/or your team to move further ahead on your route, and even make up for the days when you may not be able to reach your goals. For all participants, completing a Bonus Challenge will move you half a point further along your individual route.

If you are participating with a team, each of your team members must complete the bonus challenge in order for your team to move half a point forward on the team's route (don't worry - you'll still move forward the extra half point on your own route even if all of your team members don't complete the Bonus Challenge).

There will be 4 Bonus Challenges offered during the 8-week Challenge. At the start of weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8, a new Bonus Challenge will become available, and you will have the remaining weeks of the Challenge to complete each of the 4 Bonus Challenges. All Bonus Challenges must be completed by July 5, 2008.
