August Walking Challenge

CricketKate

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 everyday, twice with my dogs at morning and night. And then for 30 minutes up to and hr and a half on the treadmill. If you put the treadmill at in incline you can burn many calories and get a great workout without getting overly tired.

Walking is the one way I know for sure I can begin to exercise again. After so many years of no exercise, its hard to get that beginning motivation but once you get started, it's all good. I am heading to the walking park now with the kids. Win/Win situation, they play and I exercise.

Sounds like a plan ! I am new to this. Is there a goal in the challenge ? Or more of a chat topic ?

SuperStorm

I think I'm going to figure out a way to do this, I'm in.
