30 for 30 Walking Challenge
It is that time of year again. Join our online Walking Facebook group: 30 for 30 Walk-a-Weigh! The goal of our page is to inspire participants to walk 30 minutes per day for 30 straight days from November 1 – November 30. There will be daily posts about nutrition or wellness from an Extension professional. We are asking participants to share step counts, exercise/food pictures, recipes, articles, or motivational messages to the group. The more interaction the better! We look forward to taking a step (lots of steps) in the right direction to a healthier future. https://tinyurl.com/30for30WAW
If you want a Walking Log to help you with this challenge, here is a Walking Log from our Faithful Families Thriving Communities that you can use during the month of November.
