Thank you to everyone who participated in the walking challenge!
We hope this inspired you to keep on walking and moving!
If you are interested in doing your own walking challenge, here are the (abbreviated) guidelines for the challenge:
1. Walk briskly for at least 20 minutes. Longer is fine!
2. Take a buddy whenever possible.
3. Start pedometer as you leave! If you are using a Fitbit or phone, record the start before you leave (steps/miles before and after the walk don't count).
4. Record your journal entry about the walk as soon as you return. Record steps or miles (either is fine - stick with your choice).
Some of our participants used a walking journal such as the one below. Using a journal is great, as it can serve as a motivator so you can see and reminisce about all your past walks, or as an accountability tool and to document progress. Feel free to use similar journals or an electronic tracker/journal.
5. One walk per day counts towards the walking challenge. Only steps and miles on the walk count.
Happy walking everyone!
