    I would like to attempt this. I have been trying to find ways to enjoy walking. I have been doing between 1.5-2miles a day for the last 3 weeks. I often find other work outs more enjoyable, but this is definitely relaxing.

    It's a great way to unwind, just pop your trainers/shoes on, put some music on, and walk it all away. :smile:

    I love these walking challenges, they always give me the little bit of extra motivation to get out and move everyday.

    :# Only a few more months until Xmas - that's motivation for you :p

    I will be doing this. I am determined. First time for me.

    Hey, welcome. Every time you walk just post your miles/steps in here ;) good luck X

    I'm in. I walk 4 miles on my lunch hour when the weather is nice. I'll try to do by Leslie Sansone walking DVD when it's not (I hope walking in place counts). I also hike.

    Any walking/steps count - good luck :smiley:

    I'm in! My main form of exercise is walking. I'm probably going to start C25K next week! :) Anyone feel free to add me! ☺

    Hey, welcome! C25k is a great programme - good luck. :)

    Count me in!! Would benefit me and my dogs!! Goal would be at least 60 minutes 5 days a week.

    That's a great goal!! The dog will be a good motivator to get out I'm sure! Good luck :#

    I'd love to be a part of this. Lately i've lost my motivation and walking have been always a favorite form of exercising (though running is the best). I pledge to walk every day no matter what!

    Hey, welcome! We all loose track from time to time. Good thing is, you're here and getting back on it! :smiley:

    Start off walking and I'm sure you'll be back to running in no time!! :wink: good luck

    This sounds like a fun challenge. I'll just have to remember to check in everytime I log some miles.

    I'm in! I'm just recovering from the flu so I can't start today but my target is 70,000 per week. I'd love to do 10,000 per day but with a 1 yr old, 3yr old and a desk job it's tough. I have to be more of a weekend warrior. Before I got ill I did 26 miles in 5 days!

    I'm in! My goal is to walk 50 miles total this month. Not sure if it'll happen, but it seems like a good number. Hit 2.69 miles today! Hope no one minds if I keep track in this thread?

    10/1 - 2.69 miles

    Goal: 50 miles
    Total: 2.69 miles
    Remaining: 47.31 miles

    I'm in again. Still having troubles with my ankles and feet but even a little is good. My ongoing goal is 30 minutes of exercise a day. Good for us.

    I'll join as well. I've lost my motivation for exercise and am being bogged down by other stresses. Walking seems like a good way to combat both of these.
  • Hi, my first day here. I've been walking since January 2015. I do the Leslie Sansone walking workouts as certain health issues prevent me from high impact. I walk 6 days/week.
    10/1- 6 miles

    My goal is to average over 13,000 steps a day


    :) I carry my Omron pedometer with me all the time so this is all my walking for each day.


    1056287i3zmwzup2m.gif I walk my dogs, so every day is a walking day for me.

    Dark nights indeed, we are sort of out in the woods and I've had to use a headlamp a few times when I didn't get a walk in until after dinner.

    Slow start, but it is a start at least. Had to force myself to get in my 30 minutes. But I did it at least. These goals really help me.

    Good luck to everyone.

    I am trying to finish work bang on 5.15 so I can go straight out and get back before it's completely dark
