in Fitness and Exercise
This is continued from previous Walking Challenges, but its nice when each month has its own thread.

*** Anyone can join in at any time. The more the merrier, lets keep each other motivated****

Walking seems like the easiest way to start getting exercise, and even if you can't track distance (or don't want to), tracking time is good too...go for a 10 min walk after dinner, or up it to 30 minutes, you'll be amazed at the end of the month how much more exercise your getting in. :)

Check in everyday with how far you walked or how long, this is just to motivate us to get in at least some exercise everyday, and keep an eye on each other.


I want to try to keep this mostly to walking or walking type exercising. treadmills and ellipticals are A-OK.

Hope to see some more faces in this challenge, we'll start tracking August 1st.

    I walk more than I run.. So I'll jump in as well. :) I don't do it everyday, but typically 3-4 times a week.

    Count me in. I use an UP wristband which measures how many miles I walk so will just transfer the info on to here. x

    I'm game! This is my first time joining a group, so I don't really know how the process works. How do we report?
