    *!* MAY 2016 Walking Challenge *!*
    This is continued from previous Monthly Walking Challenges, we are walking into the 5th month of the new year *YAY Keep going!*. 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 cannot track distance (or do not want to), tracking time is good too...go for a 10 min walk after dinner, or up it to 30 minutes, you will be amazed at the end of the month how much more exercise you are getting in. :)

    Come back here and just post how far you walked, even if it was to the mailbox on a given day. The important thing is that you are moving and getting out (or if you walked in place in your basement to a video). Sometimes we need a little encouragement in order to do things in life.

    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. Remember, you can track by steps, distance (miles or kilometers), time, etc.

    RULES:
    *no bullying
    *no pressure
    *just walking, dancing, stepping, hiking, anything to get you moving.
    *just lace up the shoes and take a walk!
    *anyone can join in at any time.

    Frequently Asked:
    Is there a way to flag this thread or do we have to search for it every time?

    There is a star in the corner (right) you can click that to favorite the topic. It will always be on the right when you enter the community area. You can click the star once back in the forums and it shows you the topic you starred.

    Can I join? How do I join the challenge?

    Really simple, just come back here and post/tell us about your walk experience in any form you wish!

      I saw that earlier and sort of figured that was what you meant, considering your April numbers!

      I'm in. I'll post in steps! I'm aiming for 210,000 steps for the month. I'm basing this off my past step count for the month and adding a few thousand a week on to challenge myself!

      N.B. I'm tracking using my Fitbit Charge HR

      Anything, anyway you like. A step is a step.

      My target is a minimum of 10,000 steps a day. Today I have done 31,727 and the day isn't over yet - not likely to go up much more though, don't think I could if I wanted to.
