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.

Thanks for posting those links Doreen I did her 3 mile walk in my hotel room on Wednesday evening as I didn't get a chance to do much walking during the day.
Thanks for those, Doreen. I saw your suggestions at the end of the April thread, and forgot to reply. I'm definitely going to start bringing the iPad down to my kitchen where I usually do my indoor boogie. I was resistant because I'm picky about my music, but I did a search and there are all kinds of walking videos with different genres. 🎶 I do think it would be helpful, at least occasionally, to follow someone else's moves. It's too easy for me to get distracted and start watering the plants or writing a shopping list or something. Heh heh.
