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 July 1st.

    Good morning! A bit about myself .... looking to lose 30+ pounds and get to a happier healthier place in my life. Thanks for posting this and the motivation to try to do this with you.

    I normally do a mile walk with two killer hills that will have your heart racing. I pushed myself this morning and walked two miles.
    Going to see if I can do this again tonight.
