Week 2 – Walking Challenge
We are halfway through the Walking Challenge!
Together, in 8 days we have walked a total of 5740 km, which would take us from Vancouver to Reykjavik, Iceland!
Remember to continue increasing your steps by setting a goal, for example, aim to increase your step count by 5% or even 10% from week to week. Also, be sure to listen to your body, but step by step, gradually improve your total step count and your health!
