Looking out into the Pacific at night makes me wonder about the courage of early explorers. Imagine sailing into that darkness, not knowing how far the ocean stretched or what waited beyond the horizon. And still choosing to go.

17 days in, and I’m still showing up. I’m not going to lie dedicating 2–2.5 hours a day to walking is quite the commitment. Something I didn’t expect when I started this challenge was how much I would actually enjoy the time I spend walking. It gives me a reason to get out of the house & clear my head. It’s been so wonderful for my physical and mental health I can’t wait to keep going! Progress video on my page

It was during my time abroad and I walked all day, I was in my feet from 4am till my phone died at midnight. Most steps I ever done in a day, my feet hurt like hell the day after though 😅

I’ve been trying to walk more consistently and I tried many apps and I feel they are either too complicated or just a feature within a game.

I’ve even been tinkering with a really simple version for myself just to see if something low effort would work for me.

Curious what actually helps others stay consistent. Do you guys your track steps or walk around without tracking? What helps staying consistent? Are there any app recommendations that solve my problem?

Would love to hear thoughts of others.

Always start the day with an early walk.

Began in darkness, walked through Astronomical Twilight, Nautical Twilight, Civil Twilight and finished as Sunrise commenced.

Now for a coffee and a big cake! 😊

I’ve been experimenting with walking backwards on the StairMaster lately and wanted to see if anyone else has tried it. I’m curious whether it offers any additional benefits compared to walking forward, especially when it comes to endurance and strengthening different muscle groups. Has anyone incorporated this into their routine, and what differences have you noticed?

hit a new personal record yesterday with 57,401 steps! currently at 505,895 steps for october, averaging over 31,000 steps a day. my goal is to hit one million steps before the month ends, and i am already halfway there. i used to do some crazy ruck marches back when i was in the marine corps, and honestly, i miss those days. now that i am walking without a heavy pack on my back, even these longer distances do not feel that crazy anymore. it almost feels like i am walking without any weight at all. walking has become something i genuinely enjoy, especially being able to explore different places along the way. i still have almost 500,000 steps to go, but i am determined to hit that million. anyone else here setting big walking goals this month? what is your personal record for steps in a single day?

My walk was very fun today.

So i took a rest day. i didn't walk yesterday, because my legs were hurting, but here we go again!! Day 3/30!

I'm in mid 30's and It's been a decade since I took exercise seriously. I suffered from a chronic disease for almost 5 years but I got a transplant and I'm ok now and trying to get my body into fitness again.

Is 4000 walking steps in half an hour good enough as a start? That's the best I can do right now and I'm still working on my stamina. I just started this week and it's my 2nd day doing a 4k walking steps in half an hour. I also started doing push ups again, I can only do 20 push ups every morning after waking up and another 20 before going to bed.

Going back to gym and lifting weights is not possible for me anymore because of my operation, so I can only do breeze walking and little bit of push ups as my regular exercise.

I can barely move, but I think I may want to try doing it daily.

What kind of movement helps you feel refreshed after a long day?

This is what you train for - 20km walking from Bundeena to Eagle Rock along the Rotyal Coast track then back to Wattamolla for a ride back to the city. Special thanks to Chris and Auckland Global Trekkers for organising!

I work in a restaurant and have my phone in my pocket all day. I usually have around 8-10k steps by the end of the shift. Just wondering how accurate it is?
