Each month has its own thread.**** Anyone can join in at any time. The more the merrier, let’s keep each other motivated ****
Walking seems like the easiest way to start getting exercise, and even if you cannot track distance (or do not want to), tracking time is good too...go for a 10 min walk after dinner, or up it to 30 minutes, you will be amazed at the end of the month how much more exercise you are getting in.
Come back here and just post how far you walked, even if it was to the mailbox on a given day. The important thing is that you are moving and getting out (or if you walked in place in your basement to a video). Sometimes we need a little encouragement in order to do things in life.
Check in everyday with how far you walked or how long. This is just to motivate us to get in at least some exercise every day, and keep an eye on each other. Remember, you can track by steps, distance (miles or kilometers), time, etc.RULES:
*no bullying
*no pressure
*just walking, dancing, stepping, hiking, anything to get you moving.
*just lace up the shoes and take a walk!
*anyone can join in at any time.Frequently Asked:
Is there a way to flag this thread or do we have to search for it every time?
There is a star in the corner (right) you can click that to favorite the topic. It will always be on the right when you enter the community area. You can click the star once back in the forums and it shows you the topic you starred.
Can I join? How do I join the challenge?
Really simple, just come back here and post/tell us about your walk experience in any form you wish!
I just joined today. My dog took me for a 30 minute walk today.

That's funny! But, I really thought that was fixed, even with a dead battery it was supposed to still be able to record. You just cannot get the information from it till charged? Not sure, just thought I read that.

Yep, just took it off the charger and it shows my steps and miles. Glad you said something, I didn't know about still getting the info. Still only 2 miles recorded, so may as well stick with my mile!! Thanks for the input!!!1 -

Old injury from years ago, actually just popped one day and it hurt forever. Now with the weight loss, I really thought it was better. Was out for my walk/jog and it just started to hurt and pull every time my foot came down. Just walked it back home and will try again tomorrow.fearlessinmy3rdact wrote: »AlphaHowls wrote: »fearlessinmy3rdact wrote: »May 14th - Only gonna claim 1 mile walked today.
