in Fitness and Exercise
This is continued from previous Walking Challenges, but it’s nice when each month has its own thread.

*** Anyone can join in at any time. The more the merrier, let’s 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 every day, and keep an eye on each other.


I want to try to keep this mostly to walking or walking type exercising. Treadmills and elliptical are A-OK.

Hope to see some more faces in this challenge; we'll start tracking March 1st.

    I went shopping today and mall walked. wore my new heart rate monitor (watch). between the grocery, the mall and target I walked 2 miles! It helped that I parked at the opposite side of the mall from the stores I wanted to visit! Who said that shopping couldn't be good for you?!:happy: :laugh:

    About 2 miles in just under 30 minutes ... was hoping to go for a jog with the pup, but it was so icy out still that it ended up being a power walk!

    Walked twice today. Once for about 6 mins - quick walk/run and then for 30 mins with hills - about 1.5 miles.

    Today - Walked for 3mins - 1.51 miles.

    Yesterday - Sadly, I only walked for 10 mins yesterday. It was too dark and I decided I had to come back in when the COYOTE ran across the street in front of me!

    Well I have been posting in the running challenge but I twisted my left knee so I am walking only till it heals. Looks like I will not be learning to run this month, if at all.

    All treadmill miles.

    Hi everyone,

    I am in!!

    I am completing the London Moonwalk Marathoon on 10th May so am in training :-)

    Did 16 miles last week (2 x 3 miles & 1 x 10 miles) and am hoping to be nearer 20 miles this week. I will struggle this week though as I am on call at work so need to stay close to home just incase my phone rings!!! Might just walk around the block a few times!

    Michelle

    March tally so far - 16 miles.

    Took a couple days off due to not feeling well. About to head out on at least a 30 min walk now.
