JULY 2024 Walk/Jog/Run/Bike ( steps or miles) challenge

Heat advisory today. I'm going to do my (4) exercises from my list and do up/downs on my staircase in the house. I might try a beginner yoga or beginner belly dance video. Stay safe out there!

I'm in for 150,00 total steps in July.
07/01 - 07/04 - 16,767 steps for 16.67 miles (some of those miles were on the recumbent bike)
07/05 -
Good luck everyone.

After my mom passed (2018), I took in her dog. He passed in Dec 2023. We've done a few walking challenges at work. I don't have a miles or steps goal - at this point, I'm looking for momentum, which means making myself do something everyday. In 2010, I hit my highest non-pregnancy weight and had pain associated with my gallbladder. Doctor said lose weight or surgery. I decided losing weight would be better for my overall health and if I still needed surgery that could be scheduled. So I downloaded fitness pal and took up spin classes and walking. I did well lost 70 lbs. Then life threw a lot at me. I lost my dad, got divorced and lost my mom over 5 years. Gained a little, then had trouble walking and needed surgery on my foot. Gained a bit more, but pt and surgery have finally fixed my foot, so it's time to work on losing what I regained. Hope ya'll have a great weekend stay out of the heat and drink plenty of h2o. oh yeah today was short due to the heat - 2 mile walk, 3.7 mph, 33 min, 381 cal

Hi everyone,

I hope it’s okay if I join your challenge (a little bit later).

I’ve come to realise that I need motivation to achieve my daily steps, if left to my own devices I will be lazy and leave it to tomorrow (tomorrow never happens).

I’m going to try and get 8,000 steps a day and form long lasting habits, so it becomes the norm to get up and walk rather than sit all day. I have a sedentary job, so I will have to definitely make time in my day for movement.

Wishing everyone luck on their journey. 😊

July 7 - I did 2.6 mile walk, 3.7 mph, 42.5 min, 493 calories

July 8- 4.25 mile bike, 11.1 mph, 23 min, 107 calories

I have also kept up with my 4 exercises a day list.

Carole, don't be hard on yourself you move as many days as possible and be honest with yourself. each day is a new start.

I hope each of you finds a little success each day, try to let go of the negative.

Best wishes,
Susan
