Challenge Yourself for: 30 days

One of the best ways to discover a city – even your own – is to ramble the streets on foot. The people, culture and landscape feel more vivid when you see them in real-time rather than whizzing by. And many cities offer walking tours for a range of interests and fitness levels. Challenge yourself to find a route that takes you places you’ve never been.

(When logging progress for this challenge, only log as many days as you participated the activity within the 30-day timeframe.)

  • I walk everday for for at leasr an hour, and it feels great

  • I will out walk fido!

  • I know there are some wooded trails in my town, I’d like to keep my daughter interested in the outdoor beauty by bringing her along with me. She’s only 4, so I probably won’t get a brisk walk with her, but I think bringing her along on some of them will be fun.

  • I live in a city where walking and bike riding is encouraged so I will have no problem with this challenge thinking I could walk halfway to where I need to go at first and work my way up instead of catching the bus

  • I have started to walk at least 2 miles everyday…or 30 minutes….which is usually about the same….and for the past week i have felt great!!!

  • I work out 3x a week at a gym and walk a minnium of 5x a week for at lest an hour

  • I try to walk everyday for at least 45 to an hour, depending on the weather and my Siberian. I have three dogs, not all the same activity level, so I need to motivate myself to ride my bike with Panda and then can walk easily with the little dogs.

  • I live in small town America and walk everyday, especially now that the price of gasoline has risen so much. I also have a dog and he loves to go for walks.

  • I walk 10,000 steps or more a day, found a great pocket pedometer to chart my progress…....no excuses or cheating, it’s all recorded. I now plan my day around how many steps yet to go for the day.

  • I found a friend to walk with me and I’m finding a lot easier to get off my rump. I guess just knowing that someone is waiting for me each day helps me get going.

  • I try to walk outside as much as I can for at least an hour anywhere from between 3 to 7 days a week. I like to change the scenery around a bit too so I don’t get tired of it and that way it doesn’t seem like a robotic routine. It’s great to breathe in the fresh air and watch the seasons change. I have a few different walking paths that I have made for myself through the surrounding neighborhoods and away from the busy streets, occasionally find a walking trail.
    It’s makes me feel good, sleep well and is good all round for mind, body and spirit!
    Sometimes hubby will get off his rump with me too.

  • I quit smoking FINALLY 8 weeks ago and I am walking every day.
