In Day 6 of our walking challenge, we’re ditching solo walks and turning our strolls into calorie-blasting walking workouts for the whole family (furry family members and friends, too). Keeping things fun and ever-changing is how you create a consistent walking  habit.

Highlights:

Groups walks:

• Strengthen bonds with family and friends: Share laughter, stories, and fresh air. Walking conversations go deeper than phone chats.
• Built-in accountability: Committing to each other keeps you moving towards your fitness goals. 
• Pet health: Unleash your furbaby's playfulness, reduce boredom, and keep your pet in tip-top shape. 

And yes, Helen used to walk her cats on a leash as a teen in Norway...

Stay motivated:

• Include scavenger hunts on your walks: Keep everyone interested with nature-themed treasure hunts, perfect for all ages.
• Turn up the fitness factor: Add quick bursts of jumping jacks, squats, push-ups, monkey bars for a mini workout on the go.
• Create your own fantasy land: Take turns making up a ridiculous continuous tale inspired by your surroundings.

Build healthy habits together:

• Set a consistent time: Find a schedule that works for all.
• Everyone has a voice: Take turns choosing the route and activities.
• Spend quality time: Ditch the interruptions and focus on the fun.
• Capture the fun: Take pictures and videos, and use the hashtag 

Share your walks using the hashtag #walktalkwithhelen, and invite your friends and family.

There is a bell at the halfway point if you want to turn around. Grab your walking shoes and let's go.
