Take a Walk With Some Friends

Starting and staying with a walking program can be more fun in a group. Here's what Donna is sharing about her successes:

"In January 2007, I visited my hometown of 27 years, Los Angeles. We now live in North Carolina. Well, everyone I knew in Los Angeles was on the 10,000-step program. So, I brought it back to N.C.

"Several of my friends and I started a morning walking regimen to get a start on the day. We meet at 8 a.m. and walk for one hour, generally completing between three and four miles. Bottom line success: I've lost 26 pounds in one year. We continue to meet and walk. It is fun and healthy."

I have a new step counter from my Asheville Y and my new goal has been to get to 10,000 steps a day. After a week of tracking I have finally been able to work all day and go for a run in the afternoon and meet my 10,000 step goal!
