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 trackingSeptember 1st.

    I am in, most of mine will be done on the elliptical though. I have signed up for a Color run 5k in three weeks and I am hoping I will be able to walk - run some of it.

    I love walking. I walk my dog at night and I've been thinking, you know, I shouldn't flip-flop and circle the block. I should put on my walking shoes and see the neighborhood at night. :flowerforyou: I'll be friend requesting ya'll.

    I have not walked in a long time, I concentrated completely on biking. The first thing I found out that I need new shoes. My old ones are all pretty worn out. Then I could not find my pedometer or a hat to wear. I finally made it out the door and joined the minions in the park walking their dogs and walking like me in circles around the lake.


    My goal is to walk every other day and the other day I bike. I want to train for a triathlon and the running part is my biggest challenge. I am not fond of running , so I have to start slowly, And I did. I was not able to go faster than 4 miles per hour.





    09/01 8 miles

    Going shopping without a car is quite useful for this challenge. I walked 150 minutes today. How did everyone walks go today?

    Can I join this challenge??

    I walked for 65 minutes this morning! I am trying to walk everyday. I have seen people drop some major pounds by just walking, and eating right of course :)
