A 30-day plan to make walking a daily habit

And welcome to the Start TODAY June challenge!

June 1, 2023 | VIEW IN BROWSER June 1, 2023 | VIEW IN BROWSER  Welcome to the Start TODAY June Challenge! How many days in a row can you walk? Start TODAY members have been sharing how daily walking streaks have been an integral part of their weight-loss and fitness journeys. For this month's plan, we're going to use their success as motivation to create our own daily walking habit. The challenge is to walk every day this month so that at the end of June you can claim a 30-day walking streak!   Are you in? The June challenge kicks off today — join us! Walking Challenge Walking Challenge Today's Workout Today's workout is a walk — whatever that means to you.  How you count your steps is up to you. You can choose to wear your pedometer all day long and notate your total step count — or stick to just logging the steps you take during exercise.  Every day after your walk, take five minutes to complete a few simple lower body and foot stretches to help your muscles recover and prevent injury and soreness. Your trainer Stephanie Mansour will show you how right here.  GET THE WORKOUT > Need a break from this month's challenge?

A surefire way to make walking a daily habit Ever tried a walking streak? Last summer, Al Roker walked more than 10,000 steps every day for 219 days straight. The beauty of a walking streak is that the momentum can keep you moving, even on days you may not feel like exercising. Before you know it, all that daily walking eventually becomes a habit.  This month, everyone's journey is different. If you're currently sedentary, walking 2,000 steps a day may be challenge enough for you, whereas someone who is already committed to a walking routine may be looking at 15,000 steps a day as a goal. Remember: The point is to make walking a consistent habit. So we're less concerned about the distance you walk and more focused on the fact that you did it! Ready to jump in?
