Hi! I'd like to get on on this challenge to help motivate me to log in more steps. My goal is to average at least 9,000 steps per day beginning Monday, July 1st. At the end of each day, I will log my total steps here.

YES WELCOME ❤️too the new kids on our block & our regulars! ❤️
HAPPY too’see’ you here!!❤️Good luck everyone! ❤️
Thank you Karen….❤️3 -
I'm hoping joining a challenge will give me accountability. I am using a month of 4 exercises a day (jumping jacks, sit ups, squats, push ups, high knees, plank or lunges - there are 6 scheduled rest days and # of each exercise increase periodically). I'm also planning to walk or bike each day (If it's raining, I'll do the staircase in my house ( start at 10 min and increase as fitness level improves). I'll post each day what I did and how I'm feeling/ improving.
Hope you all see the success you're hoping for this challenge!4 -
I'm in for 150,00 total steps in July.

Today was 3.16 mile walk, 3.4 mph, 55.6 min, 595 cal and a rest day for the exercise list. Feeling better about my walking - thinking of finding a short hike to do. Do you walk with friends, co-workers, family or on your own? I mostly walk alone (I like a good bpm music playlist.)3

@phoenixstrong19Do you walk with friends, co-workers, family or on your own?
I walk with my mom a lot but I also walk alone at times and just listen to music along the way.3 -
I miss my mom and dad but they're never far from my thoughts. Today was 3.3 mile walk, 3.8 mph, 53 min and 622 calories. I track my walks with strata. I'm about to do my (4) tasks from the exercise list.
I started tracking my blood pressure too, other than the scale it's my only other elevated number ( but just enough I need to pay attention- no meds necessary.) Happy 4th of July!

Heat advisory today. I'm going to do my (4) exercises from my list and do up/downs on my staircase in the house. I might try a beginner yoga or beginner belly dance video. Stay safe out there!2

I use to walk with my 2 dogs. Later my husband retired & walked with us. Then my eldest dog died so the three of us. Then I got a puppy. The other JRT started going down hill & couldnt walk fast or far so my husband started taking her so it was just me & Livy. We lost our little JRT on June 14th. It is now me, my husband most (not all) days & Livy. I’m use to it being mostly me & dogs! lol Been that way since 2007!2

Enjoyed reading your motivational posts and walking routines
I’m on vacation in the mountains of Oregon. High heat advisory has us in the shade by noon.
Getting my steps in and will update my tracking soon.
Homeward bound on Monday
Love Karen

One of the main things that motivated me to start walking more was I saw an ad for a virtual walk app where you can earn badges if you walk a certain distance ( The Conqueror ) and I thought it was a cool way to stay motivated, that was until I learned how expensive it was. Lol. So, I didn't sign up for it. However, I saw a challenge on there to walk 500 miles and ever since then, that has been my ultimate goal. Obviously, you can't reach that in a month. So, I'm going to gather all my entries from this group and add them to my mile counter until I reach my ultimate goal. I still plan to have the small monthly step goals here and keep walking after the goal is reached as I still have lots to lose but that's the main goal.
Question for all: Do you have a main goal you are trying to reach steps/miles-wise for the year? If you don't have one, what is the reason you started to walk more?

After my mom passed (2018), I took in her dog. He passed in Dec 2023. We've done a few walking challenges at work. I don't have a miles or steps goal - at this point, I'm looking for momentum, which means making myself do something everyday. In 2010, I hit my highest non-pregnancy weight and had pain associated with my gallbladder. Doctor said lose weight or surgery. I decided losing weight would be better for my overall health and if I still needed surgery that could be scheduled. So I downloaded fitness pal and took up spin classes and walking. I did well lost 70 lbs. Then life threw a lot at me. I lost my dad, got divorced and lost my mom over 5 years. Gained a little, then had trouble walking and needed surgery on my foot. Gained a bit more, but pt and surgery have finally fixed my foot, so it's time to work on losing what I regained. Hope ya'll have a great weekend stay out of the heat and drink plenty of h2o. oh yeah today was short due to the heat - 2 mile walk, 3.7 mph, 33 min, 381 cal2

Thanks phoneixstrong! Your story is sad but you are inspiring! Sometimes life does throwc us curves!
Keep up the good work…❤️0 -
Hi everyone,
I hope it’s okay if I join your challenge (a little bit later).
I’ve come to realise that I need motivation to achieve my daily steps, if left to my own devices I will be lazy and leave it to tomorrow (tomorrow never happens).
I’m going to try and get 8,000 steps a day and form long lasting habits, so it becomes the norm to get up and walk rather than sit all day. I have a sedentary job, so I will have to definitely make time in my day for movement.
Wishing everyone luck on their journey. 😊4
