October 60 Mile Walk Challenge

[Amanda1982 142]

Joan: I say you should modify it any way you want--the ultimate goal is motivation and movement, right? I'm going to be doing my 60 miles on the elliptical to minimize the impact on my knees, and I want my 60 miles to be above and beyond my daily activity, but that's MY plan. I think yours should be what you want it to be!

I agree the idea is to motivate everyone to get moving...

I got in 2 miles on Saturday and 2.5 on Sunday. I will do 2 miles after work when I take the baby to the park.

Count me in. I am training for a 5 mile run in November and this will be a great motivator!

This is just what I need. Exercise really needs to become a priority or this band is going to become another failed attempt

I'm so in. This will be my first month for a challenge!! I'm 3 days behind but I'm sure I'll catch up. I'm going to try to get my roommates who are not banded, to walk with me too. :-)

4 miles down so far! I'm so excited I bought a new pair of shoes with the Nike insert thing, and used it this morning. Works awesome and is a great motivator with the voice prompts and whatnot.

Shooting for 3 more miles tomorrow on a new trail I just found. Can't wait!

Great job so far everyone, keep up the pace!

Got my first 3 miles in for the month on Saturday on the elliptical. Can't wait to do some more even if I am still sore from it.

I am in... I am supposed to be training for a half marathon at the end of the month, I don't know if I'll be all the way ready for it but I know I can get 60 miles in.

I have intentionally gone for walks each day for 2 miles per day. Sometimes I will park extra far at a shopping center or I'll walk up and down every single aisle at Sam's Club or costco. Also at work sometimes I will walk the extra long way around the school building or walk to the farthest bathroom. I have ordered a new pedometer that should arrive soon. It is the kind you carry anywhere on you, a pocket, purse... I hate the kind that is clipped to your waistband! They always fall off on me or reset themselves.

Happy walking!

Joan

Does zumba count toward miles? And if it does, how many miles is an hour of zumba worth?

[Amanda1982 142]

If you can figure the number of steps you take during Zumba, I say count it Maybe you should try wearing a Pedometer during Zumba to count the distance.
