19,406 people and 1,263 teams participated in the 2008 WOMAN Challenge!

Here is what others have said about the
WOMAN Challenge!

"This is my first year participating in the challenge and I love it. I usually do 60 to 90 minutes of aerobics, then I either go to the park and walk for 45 to 60 minutes or I find time to walk during the day while at work; all the time wearing a combination wrist pedometer. I love to walk and this challenge just makes it so much more enjoyable."

"I decided to form a team because I find that I do better when I am accountable to others for my progress - and I'm a little competitive. I hope to inspire others to join my team and take our lives in 'new directions' by increasing our physical activity and benefiting by improving our health, energy levels and reducing the effects of stress in our lives! Let's get ready to move forward!"
