Australia's 10,000 Steps program offers an April challenge of a 'virtual' return walk along the length of the infamous Kokoda Trail, in recognition of ANZAC Day.

"To complete the challenge within the month of April, you will have to average 7742 steps each day," she said.

"For those who would like an extra challenge – they can aim to complete the journey before ANZAC Day, April 25. To do this, you will have to average over 10,000 steps each day".

Ms Hinchliffe recommended that everyone visit the newly updated 10,000 Steps website (www.10000steps.org.au), where individuals can register for FREE to have their own Step Log.
