Health-Focused Daily Step Challenges

Moira Club Announces Fourteener Step Challenge Results

Moira Club, a concierge health and wellness membership designed for adults who are thriving at home, has announced the results of its Fourteener Step Challenge. In this five-week pilot program, 11 members averaging 86 years of age increased their average daily steps by 27%, from 4,380 to 4,981 steps. According to Moira Club, this achievement outperformed every comparable walking intervention identified in published literature, including studies of populations 15 to 20 years younger.

The Fourteener Step Challenge cohort wore wearable devices and received consistent human-guided coaching from Moira's Vitality Team. The participants were tracked during "a gamified, virtual ascent of Colorado fourteeners." The cohort's gain of 601 steps per day on average is based on the American Heart Association's finding that every additional 500 daily steps is linked to a 14% lower cardiovascular risk in adults 70 and older.
