Anyone want to walk with me?????

[Jlynn]

Okay, I've done it again, I've purchased a pedometer and have started walking.

A couple of years ago I did this for about 6 months and it really worked well. I just set goals for myself (no. of steps/day, week, and month) and this got me moving.

I'm starting with a goal of 20,000 steps/day

Monday I clocked 17112
Tuesday, 18231
Today....well, gotta head out and walk the dogs soon, I'm only up to 15331 so far It's been one of the computer-addict afternoons, lol

Anyway...

If anyone's interested I thought we could post our goals and our progress here...keep each other motivated.

What do ya' think????

(Last time my goal was 10,000/day and I raised it over the 6 mos. Then winter hit )

Good for you! I wish I could commit, but it's too hot here.

I have one of those pedometer's too, but have never used it. I love walking, but don't walk much out here in the country. To many people let their dogs run the countryside and it scares me. I have a treadmill, but haven't used it for some time...maybe when it gets a little cooler.

I don't have a pedometer, but I do spin classes several times a week. I did 6.7 miles today in 40 minutes. Does that count?

Of course that counts! What a workout, I don't think I'll be keeping up with you any time soon!

What is a "spin class"?

Aww, I'd love a treadmill...would probably just end up gathering dust though

We've been having a bit of a heat wave here too...but it did finally cool off this week! Hopefully that nicer weather will be heading north your way soon!
