Anyone fancy a lunchtime walking club?

Now the weather is a bit brighter, I am trying to get out for a walk at lunchtime a few times a week.

I am just setting the timer on my phone for ten minutes, heading off and turning around when it goes off. I vary my route but I do try to get a bit further the next time I go the same way.

Anyone fancy joining me for a virtual lunchtime walk?

I am hoping that checking in here will motivate me to get out more regularly... Smile

Yes, definitely feel better for it and slightly less remorseful of the bit of cake i had this afternoon

Well done! Always a good feeling when you've done it. I'm about to take my toddler for a walk in the pushchair - just a short walk to get her to fall asleep!

That's my 20 mins done.

I'm very ready for my sandwich now Grin

(I'm in a city too)

What kind of environment will you be walking in? I live and work in a city but we do have stunning river views on a nice day. Cloudy here today too.

The more the merrier Smile

It's clouded over a bit here but am not going to let that put me off unless it rains

May I join too? I need something to get me away from my desk at lunch times. Too easy to be sedentary and not move much until home time.

Sounds good to me. I only work part time but try to walk as much as possible on Tuesday and Wednesday lunchtimes and walk home on a Thursday.

I try to force myself to walk uphill in my lunch hour going a street further each time but I've been off sick this week and barely left the house for a week which I fear will set me back.

Do you have a step counter?

(I know this may not sound particularly ambitious, but it represents a fair increase in activity for me.)

People of all levels of fitness (or lack of!) welcome, or just looking to get away from the office a few times a week)
