In Day 6 of our walking challenge, we’re ditching solo walks and turning our strolls into calorie-blasting walking workouts for the whole family (furry family members and friends, too). Keeping things fun and ever-changing is how you create a consistent walking habit.
Highlights:
Groups walks:
- Strengthen bonds with family and friends: Share laughter, stories, and fresh air. Walking conversations go deeper than phone chats.
- Built-in accountability: Committing to each other keeps you moving towards your fitness goals.
- Pet health: Unleash your furbaby's playfulness, reduce boredom, and keep your pet in tip-top shape.
And yes, Helen used to walk her cats on a leash as a teen in Norway...
Stay motivated:
- Include scavenger hunts on your walks: Keep everyone interested with nature-themed treasure hunts, perfect for all ages.
- Turn up the fitness factor: Add quick bursts of jumping jacks, squats, push-ups, monkey bars for a mini workout on the go.
- Create your own fantasy land: Take turns making up a ridiculous continuous tale inspired by your surroundings.
Build healthy habits together:
- Set a consistent time: Find a schedule that works for all.
- Everyone has a voice: Take turns choosing the route and activities.
- Spend quality time: Ditch the interruptions and focus on the fun.
- Capture the fun: Take pictures and videos, and use the hashtag
Share your walks using the hashtag #walktalkwithhelen, and invite your friends and family.
There is a bell at the halfway point if you want to turn around. Grab your walking shoes and let's go.
