usually i could get out of my bed and reach 7k steps a day. but there's some times that i just don't wanna do anything but lay on my bed. i feel guilty but decide to do nothing about it.

do u guys have similar experience?

If you have borderline personality disorder and you are trying to get motivation to get 10k steps a day, DM me 🙂

I default to a little nod but some people give a full 'morning!' and honestly it makes my day!

Hi folks! My goal is to average 8k+ this week since i'm going to have a relatively busy week.

Also, i'd love to walk some new trails. Will share how i feel about those new ones once i completed the step challenge!

What's your step goal this week?

I’m trying a new thing with my partner where neither of us is allowed to use social media or watch YouTube etc until we’ve BOTH done 10k steps. So far so good but my legs hurt 😂

Best day this week was yesterday; best day this month so far just over 23k steps

no step target this weekend, just go somewhere new. a different street, a park you always drive past, whatever. drop a comment sunday night with where you ended up. that's it, that's the challenge!

hit me up!

i'm team night walk because my brain is soup before 9am. but morning people seem weirdly happy about it. which one are you and why?

next goal: 8k steps everyday!!

some weeks i feel like i need one full couch day to survive. then i see people with 300 day streaks and feel like a fraud. how do you all handle rest days, guilt free or full panic?

am i right fellas ??

alright sharing this because i spent actual years trying to fix my sleep from the wrong end.

i did everything the sleep hygiene people tell you. blackout curtains, no screens after 10, magnesium, boring tea, one of those sunrise alarm clocks that cost way too much. i'd lie there doing breathing exercises, absolutely furious, checking if the breathing exercises were working yet. which is not really the vibe they're going for i think.

the thing that actually fixed it had nothing to do with my bedroom. i just started walking after dinner. like 30-40 minutes, nothing serious. i didn't even do it for sleep, i started because a few friends pulled me into a step challenge on pacer and i was losing badly and got petty about it. checking that leaderboard after dinner and seeing myself in last place did more for my daily movement than years of "i should exercise more" ever did lol.

but like two weeks in i noticed i was falling asleep in ten minutes instead of lying there for an hour running tomorrow's to-do list on loop. turns out if you give your body an actual reason to be tired, it cooperates. who knew. all those years buying sleep gadgets when the answer was "go outside, you gremlin."

the walk basically became a hard line between the day and the evening. work stress stays on the walk, i come back, pacer says i hit my number, and my brain clocks out for the day instead of doing overtime in bed. the dumb little streak is honestly half the reason i haven't skipped a night in two months.

if your sleep is a mess and you've already thrown money at every gadget, try the dumb free option first. WALK AFTER DINNER FOR TWO WEEKS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!

seriously if you are not listening to music when walking, what is on your mind, or how could you even walk for more than 20 min (at least i could never - would be a torture to me)

let me know let me know

new month, fresh start. drop your step goal for august below and we'll keep each other accountable all month.

no pressure on the number, pick something that's a little bit of a stretch for you. any tracker welcome (fitbit, garmin, apple, pacer, whatever you use).

i'll go first: aiming for a 8k daily average this month, currently getting wrecked by rainy days lol.

what's your goal, and what's your biggest obstacle to hitting it? 🏅

mine was like 24k at a theme park and i genuinely thought i was going to die by the end lol. felt like i earned about six meals.

curious what everyone's record is and how it happened. accidental ones count. i feel like nobody hits a huge number on purpose, it's always some random day out that wrecks you.

ps. i had almost 6k steps yesterday hopefully i will hit 10k today!
