May Walking Challenge

in Fitness and Exercise
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 May 1st

    There is my ticker for the first week of the month. I know it's only 94 Minutes, but to me, who used to HATE exercise, that's a good long time for me to be up off my butt. ;) I've been measuring minutes lately, but should probably someday measure miles. Good luck everyone!!

    June's Walking Challenge is up and running :wink: It looks like May was kind of a slow month for walking. I know that I didn't get out as much as I would like. I hope to see more activity in June, though, I will probably be on my bike more now that the weather is nicer.
