    You’re preaching to the converted. πŸ˜‚ Walking is one of my solid habits. I walk indoors and out (depending on weather). I use walking videos, and get additional strength exercises in many of them. And I walk during ad breaks when watching TV. It all adds up!

    I have daily steps, and active hours goals set on my Fitbit, with alarms set 15 minutes before the hour every 2 hours so that I can have at least a 10 minute walk.
    Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

    Thank you for this great chart @themedalist !! Many things I didn’t know!

    I credit my extensive walking with most of my positive health outcomes including my weight loss AND maintenance

    The one I love the most?
    My Avg daily resting HR has dropped 2 beats each of the last 3.5 years.
    From 59 (after I had lost 53 lbs) to 57 to 55 and now to 54.

    Walking is miraculous! Thank you for being such an advocate of walking & moving!!

    I am new here, and on board with Walktober- the health plan through my employer has a Walk 100 miles in October challenge so this is great to be motivated in two places! According to my FitBit, in 4 days I've put in 7.16 miles. I will make time during my workday to leave my office and walk around the building and climb the 2 flights of stairs to hit all three floors.

    Hi @autumngrl !

    Sounds like a wonderful plan!!

    Keep us posted :)

    In October I will Walk...5miles on 15 Days

    10-1 Done
    10-2 Done
    10-3 Done
    10-4 Done 5 mile walk on another picture perfect day. I slipped in some mud during my first mile and went down hard, but rebounded. Again, quite tedious, but I did it at a blistering pace. My first mile was under 14 minutes, and the remaining 4 miles were 14:30 or under.
