I am so excited about joining Health Walkers. I've been a fitness walker since last fall. I try to walk at least an hour a day. I also do aerobics and/or weight training 5 days a week. I can feel my competative side coming out when I look at the miles logged in by other members. I'm ready to help my team when the next team event starts. Thanks for the support and keep up the good work.

I just joined Health Walkers recently and wanted to tell you how much I really love this website! I can't believe how motivated I am. The first thing I do when I get to work each day it logon then call up your site and put in my mileage. I know I will be one of the ones to walk across the country and then some, due for the most part to your website. I really like seeing results from other members as well, I use that to get out there to walk more. Its fun to see each day's totals and "receive credit" for just getting out there to do something I already enjoy. Thanks again for the great website.

I recently finished my 2,500 miles. I started the "Health Walkers" walking program in January of 2002. This program has really motivated me to walk. In January of 2004 I had a spinal fusion. This stopped my walking for only two weeks. Then in August I had knee surgery which stopped my walking for another two weeks. This month I have aready walked 113 miles which is the most for a while. If it were not for Health Walkers, I'm sure I would have given up walking. This is really a great organization. Thank you for Health Walkers.

I love the site. It was an excellent idea. I would never have walked on this cold day if it were not for the challenges. I do have a question, in the summer I love to spend a lot of time in the peddle boat, can I count this under any of the categories?

I really like the “Random Chance Survival” walking event! It promotes consistency; getting out every day and adding some miles. You can't just pile up a bunch of miles one day and then goof off (something I'm exceptionally good at ) since you don't know what days will be excluded. It's helped me go just a bit farther on my "lazy days" than I otherwise would have. Thanks for a well-thought-out event!

I have been a mall walker for about 8 years (3-4 times a week). Last month after learning about Health Walkiners from a story on WFIE TV, I made a commitment to walk 100 miles within 30 days. I now have a goal and a reason to walk every day. I am now 68 and feel great. This is another way to enjoy the Internet!

I read about a program called "Exercise Across America" offered through another program. I checked on their website, but it looked to bureaucratic for me. I wanted something simple. Their program uses a logbook and you pick a state to walk across. A small state would be for beginners and a large state for an advanced walker. I then started browsing and found your website. Much more simpler and easier to use. I like the way you have set up your "Walk Across America" program.

I want to thank you for the use of your web site to help me lose the weight I was trying to lose. I encourage others to use the site as well. Keep up the good work. Yours is the best site of its kiind I have found anywhere!

What a great "March Madness" special event. It was tough knowing that we had to work hard to compete Elle's team in the final round, but we pulled through. I sent my email address to my teammates (through Healthwalkers) which allowed us to email encouragement to each other. It really helped when we had to all pull our weight in the final round. In the future, it would be good when we sign up to indicate if our email address is sent to our teammates automatically. I am really glad this occurred. Also, I have been wanting to have shirts, hats etc. available for purchase with the Healthwalkers logo on it. I submitted an email to a source of these types of items to see what is available and the costs. When I find out more information on them, I'll pass it along. Go Healthwalkers. Thanks for a great contest and for all the encouragements that it created to walk more with diligence.

I read the article that Dean Woodbeck wrote for MTU Tech Topics almost a year ago and I saved it. It took a whole year to actually DO something about it, though! One thing I would enjoy seeing is a count of the number of days of recorded activity in the month. I've been a sporadic exerciser for many years, and my goal this year is to turn this into a HABIT. Being the analyst that I am, seeing numbers and trends is a big motivator for me, so I am really enjoying your site.
