AUGUST 2015 walking challenge

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'm aiming for 62 miles in total. It has been really hot out but I feel determined. Either early morning or night when it's cooler. Could even do both.
I don't count steps since don't own any devices for that.0 -
I love walking! I walk a lot daily but will try to add additional walks daily!0

I don't count steps either, I just meant every step you take can turn into miles
Good luck and I'm sure you will get the 62 in 0 -

I'm committing to at least 30 minutes a day. I started my lifestyle change and exercise goes along with that.0

I have a pedometer and I find that it motivates me to walk more---I love to see the numbers go up throughout the day...I challenge myself to a basic number of steps each day and am always on the lookout for opportunities to be more active.

As the year seems to be flying, soon be blooming Christmas at this rate, this August group will soon be September, and I'm sure you will have doubled your steps by then 0 -

I put my pedometer in my pocket first thing in the morning and lay it on the counter in the bathroom just before bedtime so I keep track of my steps all day. I include all the walking I do whether it is an official walk or just going about my life....I am always on the lookout for the opportunity to walk a few more steps. 0
