My Sister Got A Pedometer

We just spoke on the phone right now. After catching up about our family activities, I asked if she had read Big Man Walking and she reminded me that I sent a link through email. [Hey, would you do a friend a favor and send them this link through email?] After reading my blog they bought pedometers and my niece walked 8000 steps in one day in addition to all her other activities. My sister is walking more, too! This is really cool.

If you need to get more exercise and you've been putting it off because it's too much effort or takes too much time, start with walking. Even 30 extra steps an hour makes a difference. If you're really stubborn, start with three extra steps an hour. You can do that by getting up and sitting back down. I hope that you will feel encouraged to walk or exercise by reading Big Man Walking. I hope you'll keep coming back and that my progress is inspiring or motivating for you.

As for me, knowing that I have already encouraged my sister and her kids to walk more will have ME walking with a smile on my face for the rest of the day.

I am walking. You can walk. Please walk today. No matter what.
