Walking to work - goal

[T2328]

Hi

I am new to this group. I thought that maybe looking at walking in small amounts each day would feel more manageable to me than trying to go for a long walk or walking to work which would take me around an hour. That is my goal eventually to be able to walk to or from work a few times a week.

Hi T2328, welcome to our friendly forum! So glad you've found us! The best thing about Active 10, for me, is that I get huge health benefits from walking for just 10mins, 3 times a day. I try to get 1 or 2 longer walks in a week, but they are more like meanderings, because I have mobility issues! It sounds like you are on a similar path - and your goals are very realistic! Post often - our lovely members will encourage and support you on your journey to better health and fitness! Good luck!

Thanks. I will post as often as I can. I am encouraged by the support and have since downloading the app been a 10 minute walk this lunch time, which had the added benefit of getting me out of the office in the fresh air and stopped me having my lunch too early!

Every little bit adds up and I agree - easier to add in manageable chunks rather than start with some epic outings. Really well done.
