    @Krysless2, would be interesting. Would a slow walk also count in? 😅

    @jessicakrall8 sorry Jessica! I had to listen to my body yesterday. And it told me to lay off my foot! Good news though, I found a way to relieve the pain.. ICE !

    @Krysless2

    What do you think about reconfiguring this challenge next week and make it a “Workout” challenge? Maybe extend it to two weeks as well. We would still “team up” or “partner up” but we count Workout minutes 

    INSTEAD

     of steps.

    I have no problem doing that for next week's challenge, but personally, I can't really do a workout…I'm limited to just walking. If you guys don't mind me sitting out the challenge and just keeping score, let's do it! The only thing I do are my strength workouts for my arms and shoulders and that's only about 20-25 minutes. It's a great idea! What do the rest of you think?

    @Krysless2 @jessicakrall8

    Regarding a workout challenge:

    Would it be specifically strength training workouts? Or could it be any kind of exercise?

    One idea would be to encourage exercise that covers these three aspects of fitness: strength, cardio, and balance/flexibility. All three of these are important for good health and fitness — the last one is particularly important for older adults.

    • strength — weights, bands, body resistance
    • cardio (i.e. moving) — walking, running, hiking, cycling, swimming, kayaking, rowing
    • balance/flexibility — yoga, Pilates, tai chi, stretching, etc.
    • sports — pickleball, tennis, racket ball, soccer, etc.
    • meditation/relaxation?

    There could be a limit to how much time one can claim for each kind of exercise. Maybe allow only 10-20 minutes of meditation — enough to encourage doing it, but not give it undo credit.

    full disclosure: I get in a lot of exercise! 😆

    This was my total hours of exercise during July:

    • 🧘‍♂️ yoga 11:52
    • ☯ tai chi 8:47
    • 💪 strength training 4:37
    • 💗 general cardio 6:22
    • 🤽‍♂️ water aerobics 4:03
    • 🏊‍♂️ swimming 4:01
    • 🚴‍♂️ cycling 20:01
    • 🚶‍♂️ walking/hiking 25:34
    • July total ~85 hours = ~2¾ hours/day

    Team Trekkers.

    I write Team Trekkers because my partner in crime @HorsesRock9999 writes so but I think we were in Weight No More team.

    I can't follow all of this properly, I use website version. I can't install the app and it's so annoying searching among the tabs.

    Anyway, I'll keep posting for the Team Trekkers and later I can see where do I belong.
