This week’s challenge is to get in a daily 10 minute walk. Walk anywhere- around the block, in your office, walk in place for 10 minutes. It’s up to you.
Everyone is welcome, check in here, and feel free to share your ideas for other wellness challenges.

The toddler and I just did a 10 minute walk around the block even though it's hot as hell out.

We do about 30-60 a day, or else the dog eats the trash or mopes so sadly my heart breaks.
It's still only 40 degrees, so we'll go a little later when the kids won't yell at me for being cold.

Is this an offshoot of one of the other wellness threads? I like it!

Mine is done! I walked for 23 minutes at lunch. Here's a 10 min walk with Jessica Smith. One of my favorites of hers: A water challenge is always good. I'm good at drinking water at work, but not at home on the weekends. |

We can do a concurrent water challenge or start one next week.

I actually just asked MH if he wanted to go for a walk after dinner. So, I'll play!

I'm in. I started walking last week so this will help keep me accountable and going.

Walked the kid to the bus stop and home today. It was fabulously crisp out.

Done! I had to walk laps around my house because it's pouring outside but it's better than nothing!

I took a 17 minute walk according to my Fitbit. I need to get more exercise in, this is a good start.

We can do a concurrent water challenge or start one next week. I'm up for either and don't mind starting today. What's the challenge? 8 glasses? Body weight in lbs divided by 2 = ounces of water? (I read that somewhere)

My H ended up not walking with me so I did a mile worth of uphill sprints, downhill walks. I'm out of shape. 😬😬
I'm going to try to do it again tonight but I have a charity meeting so I'm not sure if I will have time. I'm taking my kids into the city, so at the very least, I'll get a walk in there.

Idk- the Noom water challenge was something like 6-8 8oz glasses per day. The WLCers do 1/3 of their body weight in ounces. We can set a goal or allow people to set their own. Do you want to start a thread? |

thisbitch I like the idea of letting people set their own goal. ETA: Maybe we should have it as next week's challenge? I can start the thread Monday, if that's good for everyone |

I was able to fit in a 15 minute walk in while waiting in the school pick up line.

Done! Some days it’s easy, but I definitely wouldn’t have walked today if we didn’t have the challenge.

I worked out but didn't do a separate walk so I'm counting my run earlier.

I walked 8700 steps and plan to get to 10k tonight. I should probably go walk out with the coyotes now.

Wednesday walk is done! It took two tries. We have a big building so when I can't walk outside, I just walk the halls...but I run the risk of running into people who tell me I'm "just the person they're looking for". It's humid out & I blew out my hair this morning so I took a chance. I got stopped twice, had to go back to my office to drop something off, got distracted...and then 20 min later got in my 10 minutes. (Dear diary, today I took a walk...)  |
