March Walking Challenge

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 February 1st

    Oh Fantastic. I saw the feb thread half way through.
    Today, Fitbit says
    10384 steps
    11 Floors
    5.57 km/mi? I don't know if it's kilometers, but fitbits are american product so maybe miles? (will research)
    Goal for march? 300,000 steps
    Today I got half by running all the errands at work possible, then the other half on the treadmill to earn me a glass of wine.
