Oh Thank you! Thank you! I enjoy the walking challenges that you have set up. I wanted to let you know last month's "March Madness" challenge helped me a lot. The point system and with communicating with my team members worked for me. Thanks for all the effort you put into these.

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 watched the TV clip and it was terrific. You guys are off and running! I think that the TV station did a good job of writing the story, or editing the story that you told.

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.

Every goal is first recognized by a challenge. When we accept that challenge and strive to achieve that goal we will be successful in our accomplishments ... walk on HEALTHWALKERS!

I just wanted to add my thanks to the many others who are benefiting from your web site. I have lost 13 lbs since joining up this past May and I know that consistent walking has been the difference. Your site is the easiest I have found to keep track of miles walked and it challenges me to make an entry every day. Unfortunately, I may have charged out a little too exuberantly. I have developed blister on both heels! So I will be backing off a little for the next couple of weeks, getting in what I can. But thanks again for your wonderfully simple but extremely useful web site!

More than two years ago, when I was 68 I subscribed to Health Walkers with the hope that I could achieve the challenge you presented in your "Walk Across America" program. That goal has been reached by me and it can easily be reached by all who accept the challenge. At the age of 70, I believe that SURVIVAL is waking in the morning and walking toward a goal.

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 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.

When you walk around the mall, you'll get more than you bargained for: A leg up on fitness. Mall walking is a perfect way to make exercise feel less like a chore and more a part of daily life. Shopping centers are heated in winter, air-conditioned in summer, safe, well lit, and free of snapping dogs and pollen. Not only will you burn calories and tone your legs, if you maintain good posture when you walk, you'll give your abs a workout. Keep yourself straight up while holding in your ab muscles; every step becomes a mini sit-up. Most of us lean forward when we walk, but we can catch ourselves easily at the mall: Just check your posture in your reflection in the windows.
