Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier.
Sometimes overlooked as a form of exercise, walking briskly can help you build stamina, burn excess calories, and make your heart healthier.
Set a monthly goal and post your steps daily. Setting a specific goal will make sure that you stay accountable and get enough walking in to make a difference.
You can use a Fitbit or a pedometer app on your mobile phone, for example, to track your daily steps or the distance of your workouts.

February Target Goal 175,000
Day 1
Just getting myself into this thread and motivating myself to get more movement in this month. Really appreciate an opportunity to do this with others.
My goal down the road is to do 100 miles in a month -- actual, out-on-the-road/trail miles. Not counting routine steps or distance. I think this is very doable -- I now have a 6.16 miles course that starts and stops at the house and if I do that every odd-numbered day in a 31-day month, that's 98.6 miles. Once we get into April/May, there will be several much longer walks, so hitting the 100 mile/mo goal in that time frame is what I'm shooting for.
For now, it's just getting out as much as I can -- weather is going to be a big issue for the next couple months.
My goal for Feb is pretty much my usual template: 10,000 steps per work day, 4,000 per off day, round up to the nearest 25,000 for the month. I'm off work for a week at the end of the month.
