April Walking Challenge! Lets keep walking!

NeuroticVirgo

This is continued from the January,February, & March Walking Challenge, but its nice when each month has its own thread. :laugh:

*** 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.

Make a ticker and keep it in your signature to remind you of your goal, and show everyone how well your doing. Go to this website.

http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php?type=8

Pick out your ticker pictures, set your miles or minutes, and your goal. Then copy all of the bbCode into your signature. It will look like this (but in your ticker...like mine) You use the url (from the bbCode) to update your ticker everyday (you can find this in your signature after you post the code there), just remember your pin.


Example of Tracking Miles - 1 mile everyday





Example of tracking Minutes - 30 min everyday







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

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

What about walking around your house? i get most of mine in with all the 'Mommy chores' I do every day. Either way I'm in!

I'm in AGAIN!!!! I love this challenge!

At the moment, I'm sticking to walking most mornings using my Leslie Sansone walking dvds and at the weekends, getting out for a 'proper' walk.

My ticker will have to reduce because I didn't manage to fulfil last month's goal. Think I'll go for 75 miles this time.

Most of April, I will be off work - school holidays. I get 2 weeks off, as of next Friday. I go back to work on Tuesday 26th then am off again from 29th (Royal Wedding) til 3rd June so I should be able to get some serious walking in during my holidays!!!!!

Good Luck!

First month with you all this month, but I'd like to get to 50 miles by the end of April. Off to sort out a ticker!

I'm in.

nicnak1981

I'm in again too

im going to measure in distance this month instead of time. The distance i cover varies because something i walk myself and others i have a 2 year toddling behind, so i'm going to try for 40 miles this month and see how i go.

good luck everyone x

Oh and i've done 0.8 miles today, not too exciting, but considering the rain we have today its a good start.

yportia

I'm back also. Since I met my goal last month, I'll try to average 1,000 more steps a day. Let's see how close I can get for April.

OK! Enough already........you got me, dragged me by my aching body to walk with you NV! Its a great idea and I'm happy to do it with you !. I will be doing my Leslie Sansone DVD. I'm going to start with one mile every other day, cuz I've been slacking off and build to every day , maybe 2 or 3 miles, by the end of the month. (Fingers crossed behind my back)

I just wanted to post these links again for the new comers Each one of these links is a mile walk. (or 12 min). With a total of 5 miles. So if you aren't able to make it outside, or don't have much time (12 minutes isn't asking a lot lol) then check them out to get in a quick walk.
