Maybe trying to create a "fitness habit," isn’t working for you. Instead, think of this whole daily walking thing as a behavioral change.
The Behavioral Change Model
1. Precontemplation
2. Contemplation
3. Determination
4. Action
5. Relapse
6. Maintenance

Is your daily walk a habit yet?
It’s ok if it isn’t!
It takes long-term commitment and behavioral change to keep long-term change.
Check back tomorrow to learn some techniques for sustained behavioral change.

Way to be excellent, #MarchThroughMarchChallenge athletes!
Way to establish that this daily walking thing is something that you CAN DO!
Bravo 👏🏼

Shout out to #MarchThroughMarchChallenge athlete, John Bolger, who has combined his daily walk with an art session. Habit stacking! I’ve included only my favorites here, lol. He mostly uses oil pastels and water colors, which apparently pack up well for him to tote along.
Bravo, John!

Are you pulled to walk further because the flowers, feel of sunshine and birdsong beckons you?
Have you thought about “unplugging” during your walk and letting your mind wander? Try it!

Shout out to #MarchThroughMarchChallenge athlete, Erin Stevens Miller who was inspired to form a walking club! 3 meetup opportunities a week.
This is great for accountability and community!! 🥳❤️🙌🏼
Feel free to steal her idea 💡
Today we walked over 2 miles in the cold.
Bravo!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, to those who celebrate 🍀
With all the crazy weather, I figured we needed some more walk at home options. Jordan here is awesome. What other walking video workouts have you found that you like?

Is your walking feeling therapeutic?
Mine isn’t solving our country’s problems (yet!), but it IS helping with my symptoms of stress living through this moment in our history.

No flowers yet on my #MarchThroughMarchChallenge walk today, but the sunshine, bird song, blue skies and warm weather were out in full force! ☀️
Are there signs of spring where you are?

At least it’s not raining!

Day 2 of the #MarchThroughMarchChallenge was sunny and very Spring-like! A perfect day for walking. Thank you #bodybycheri for setting this challenge to bring us out of the winter blahs and into more healthy activity.💪🏻🙂
Just started my 2nd #marchthroughmarchchallenge with #bodybycheri. Walk at least one mile everyday (whether all at once or throughout the day) and post a picture about it. Here are a few from today’s beach walk. #nature #photography #health
