How often were participants asked to report steps?
Participants were asked to report their steps online at this website once a week. They reported steps by logging in at this website at the end of each Challenge week using their email address and password. They were directed to their personal step recording page where they recorded steps for the previous week. Participants had one week to record steps for the previous week. For example, for the week ending December 14, particpants could record steps online between December 15 and December 21. However, once the deadline was past, they were no longer be able to record steps. Because step reporting occured online, participants could access the site from any location where they had an internet connection. Each time a participant recorded steps, they received instant feedback about total steps to date, average steps and week with the most steps. This information appeared at the top of each participant’s personalized step recording page.
