Here is what others have said about the
WOMAN Challenge!
"I began wearing a pedometer 2 years ago for a work contest and fell in love with counting steps! I've been teased for all the ways I add in extra steps at work and home. But, on a recent vacation I accidentally began to enter a pool with my pedometer and my friends panicked and yelled-OH NO! Not the pedometer!!! It's fabulous that they have accepted how much it means to me and while we walk together even ask "how many steps are we at"? Fitness can be so fun if you find something that excites you. At the end of the day I feel a sense of accomplishment over something that I can control." |

All About Teams
Home > What is the WOMAN Challenge? > All About Teams
You can participate in the WOMAN Challenge as an individual or as part of a team. Creating or joining a team is not only motivational, but also a great way to stay in touch with friends and family across the country! Research has shown that participating on a team can increase your level of commitment to the WOMAN Challenge and your level of success in reaching your goals.
To participate on a team:
- Talk to your potential teammates and discuss with them who would like to be the team leader. You can learn more about what being a team leader means by exploring the links at the bottom of this page.
- If you will be the team leader: after registering for the Challenge, visit the My WOMAN Challenge page and select Become a Team Leader to create and name the team. To find and select your team members and link them to your new team, visit the My Team page and choose Add Team Members and follow the listed instructions.
- If you will not be the team leader: after registering for the Challenge, visit the My WOMAN Challenge page and select Find a Team to Join to locate the team your team leader has created and officially join the team by following the instructions listed.
- Being a team leader means that you will create the team, and will have the ability to find and select your team members (once they have registered) to join your team. Also, the team leader should provide support and motivation to their teammates, encouraging them to log their physical activity each day and congratulating them on their successes!

- Social Networking Groups* - Allows users to create a profile, define themselves as part of a group, and communicate with other members of the network and/or group. Groups are ideal for team members or leaders as a means of team communication.
