Decide on a daily walking goal that's achievable yet slightly challenging. It could be a certain number of steps, a distance, or a duration.
Set a Goal
Especially if you're new to walking regularly, begin at a comfortable pace and gradually increase intensity as you feel more comfortable.
Start Slow
Explore different routes in your neighborhood or nearby parks to keep things interesting. Walking in nature can be especially refreshing.
Find Interesting Routes
Create a playlist of your favorite tunes or listen to podcasts during your walks to make the time enjoyable and pass more quickly.
Listen to Music or Podcasts
Walking with a friend or family member can make the experience more enjoyable and provide extra motivation.
Invite a Friend
Use a fitness app or a pedometer to track your steps or distance covered. Seeing your progress can be very motivating.
Track Your Progress
Be mindful of how your body feels during and after your walks. Appreciate the physical and mental benefits.
Pay Attention to Your Body
Celebrate completing your 8-day streak with a small reward or by planning a longer walk or hike to continue the momentum.
