edited September 2015 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 September 1st.

    I just got back from a 6 mile walk wtih my dog. He's not used to walking and I thought that I was going to have to carry his 100 lbs on my back for the last mile or two.

    I'm in :) I've got two small dogs and I'm going to start walking them a little further each day. I'm using the S Health app on my phone, I do have a fitbit but I always forget to put it on whereas my phone goes everywhere with me :)

    @CricketKate - I have a Fitbit One. I love it! It goes everywhere with me except to sleep. Have fun with it! :)

    Walked on a bike path this morning for 1 hour. It's better than my usual treadmill.
