It will soon be January, 2023. It may be sooner than you realize 🤷‍♀️😄 depending on when you read this.
Regardless of when you happen to actually read this, it will be time for you to either think about your goals for January or it is actually time to start the first monthly walk and workout challenge 😅💪🏃‍♀️ of 2023!

Here's to the gift of another brand new year 🎉and the opportunity to improve our health and to increase our activity level, regardless of how, why, or where we are at physically, at this very moment.

This group is open to any and all walkers. Many of us use Leslie Sansone, as well as other favorite instructor's walking or other workouts. Some of us still use the DVDs 📀, while others stream the walks by using an app subscription or watch on YouTube for instance. Some may be inspired to go outdoors to walk, or to take hikes on the trails or pathways that are available. Perhaps another may find that a walk in the neighborhood or on the treadmill is the perfect way to walk at times.

However, or wherever you get your walk, as well as other favorite workouts in, such as a strength program, or another form of exercise possibly including Tai Chi or Yoga, or what your gym membership provides for you, for instance, come on in and join us! Post your miles or minutes, or sessions, that you have walked or worked out, however you did it... it is all good!
The goal that you choose is your own personal goal for this month 👟 📆. There are no rules as to how to make your own goal.

We are a happy, supportive group, and this group will motivate, challenge, as well as inspire you, as hopefully you will do the same by your participation.

This group has changed over these many years. Sometimes increasing or decreasing in activity and participation, but what never changes is that those who are able to be active at the time are always an inspiration and show much strength and positivity by overcoming challenges, sometimes while just barely hanging on, while others join in while enjoying a positive and healthy time in life and come in to share and uplift us by also joining in. Some post easily while others through, or after times of challenging events or adversity. Some have needed a time away, yet are with us in memory and happily surprise us all when they are able to come back for a time.

So all this to say you are welcome to join in or re-join in, if you find this to be a good fit for you currently, while you are at or back to logging into MFP striving to improve your health and to increase your activity level...whether you are new at walking/ exercise, or have been around that block for years.

If you discover this group during this month please feel free to start today so that by the end of the month you will be that much closer to your personal health goals. You are always welcome, and it is never too late to join in . Just set your goals to reflect what you want to accomplish during the remaining days in the month.

Let's tie up our shoes 👟and get some water 💧, and start walking or working out strong....

Praying blessings for a healthy and happy 2023,
