Default July 31-Day Walking Challenge

Following on from NikiRenee’s June 30-Day Walking challenge, this is a challenge for July.

You can still get in a great workout and burn extra calories throughout the week just by walking.

Although this might not be as many calories as running or jogging, these calories can add up by the end of the week and turn into pounds lost.

Just getting up and moving your body by taking a walk is a great place to start.

Have A Goal.

Setting a specific goal will also make sure that you stay accountable and get enough walking in to make a difference and help you lose weight.

Is anyone interested in doing a 30-daywalking challenge with me? 🏆

Math Behind a Walking Challenge

An average person in the United States takes 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day (about 1.5 – 2 miles), and most walking challenges motivate participants to take at least 10,000 steps in a day. For context, most people burn an average of 30-40 calories per 1,000 steps, so 10,000 steps would equate to burning approximately 300-400 calories for the average person.

"The longest journey begins with a single step."

https://forum.lowcarber.org/showthr...t=485230&page=1
Just set a monthly goal and post your steps daily.

You can use a Fitbit, for example, or a pedometer app on your mobile phone to track your daily steps or the distance of your workouts.

I would like to join this challenge again!

I'm set back by illness this week, and it's likely that my bronchitis will make me too fatigued to do much walking out of normal day-to-day activities for the next few weeks, but I'll play it by ear, so to speak. When I was a kid, any cold or bronchitis made me coughing and fatigued for weeks. I'm hoping it goes away a lot faster than that.

I'll come back and edit this post later.
