[time2go]

What u thinking of? X

 

[jubob1]

Hmmm! Well I have to admit I don't do any proper exercise at the moment, that's why I wanted to start with walking. We could start with a 15 min walk twice a day in the first week from tomorrow?? What do you think? If you have any other ideas feel free to shout up hun. X

What about x amount of time waking each week? N that allows freedom of allowing folk to do what they can when they can? Cud always increase the weekly amount each week? X

I have just started on my diet and was looking for something to motivate me more to exercise so if this starts I will definitely join in

I'm starting my training tomorrow for a 26 mile charity walk in September (should have started two months ago but I had a broken hand). I need to walk 3 times a week with two shorter walks (7+ miles) and one longer one (14+ miles). I know this is a bit more than you people, but can I share my progress? Tomorrow I'm doing 12 miles with the OH and 2 dogs. I usually do 2 miles a day with the dogs and 3 runs a week (3 miles). I really need some motivation and dedication to work up to 26 miles, so I'm hoping you can all help me

wow that is a lot of walking, I would love to work upto that did start building up got to 9 miles but then had a problem with my knee and had to stop, going to try to build it up again slowly, will be good to see you make your goal.

 

[jubob1]

Ok girls so what shall we decide on?? I personally prefer to do two 15 min walks per day, but I'll go along with what everyone decides. X

Of course hun. How long does it take you to walk that distance? X

 

[rosierose15]

It takes me an hour to do 5000 steps. So shall we say 2500 a day to start with then? And we're post the exact amount of steps we did a day on here. If u walk 5000 u burn off about 200 cals. So 2500 would be 100 cals off. That's 100 extra to eat a day. X

 

[time2go]

Okay, I'll start us going... I aim to walk 20 mins a day for the first week, so what's that 140 mins. I'll start a list, add your name and your own goal in whatever terms you like x

Time2go: 0/140 mins walked

 

[time2go]

I picked time cos I have no way of measuring steps x

 

[rosierose15]
