Daily Motivation Required?

Are you the type of person who needs some daily motivation to get you going? Maybe help get you started on your fitness walking journey?

Great! You're in the right place. Walking is what we do.

First The 'Starting' Part

Let's take another leap of faith and assume the 'Starting' part won't be as hard as the 'Keeping Going' part.

Something new and different is sort of exciting and energizing. The 'newness' usually keeps you going for the first few days at least! Right?

Besides you've already started. You're here! In that case just jump straight into our Fitness Walking Programs.

Hmmm - not quite enough for you? Then take a quick peek at the Benefits of Walking. Did that do if for you? Sure hope so. There's some pretty powerful info there.

Still a lingering thread holding you down? Maybe you secretly still want to be a Couch Potatoe.

OK. Enough already. We're going to assume by now that you're keen enough to have gotten up off the couch. so let's move on to the

The 'Keeping Going' Part

This is wear you get to 'show your stuff'. These ideas can help with your daily motivation. Do your own 'mix 'n match' recipe for your own personal success.

Walk just for today. Just get out and do a little bit.
Walk with your dog. She loves getting outside too. Watch how happy she is. Don't you feel good when your dog is happy?

You want to feel the sun on your face, the wind in your hair, the sights and sounds of nature.
Observe your surroundings. See when the leaves come out on your favorite tree, how Myrtle's new shrub is doing, when George starts to paint his fence.
See the happy faces of other walkers. Walkers are happy people. Exchange your 'hi's' and smiles. Feels great.
Keep track of your walks. Use a walking journal or favourite mobile device to help you out.
Review your performance and pat yourself on the back. Remember why you are doing this.

Add your own ideas to this list. What other things do you see, do, feel and hear on your walks? What excites you? Makes you anxious to get out tomorrow?
