    Step Up Your Game

    Have you gotten your steps in today? In this episode we talk to Rebecca, a step-off expert. Rebecca went from just trying to get in 10,000 steps per day to eventually getting in 105,000 in one day. She did this in a Step-Off competition, in order to win $100. However, as Rebecca explains she was motivated by something much greater than money. We explore the psychology of goal pursuit through the eyes of someone extremely competitive.
