We happy feeters have multiple hats- mothers, wives, employees, artists, caretakers for family members. How do we keep the happy feet walking commitment? It is hard.there are few ideas that may help

1) Goal setting

It is very important to set goals, setting goals lets us track our progress and increases motivation. These goals have to be SMART goals .Specific, measurable, achievable, results-focused, and time- bound. If your total miles is at 50 then you may want to set a goal such as 50 miles in the next 2 weeks which is 3-4 miles a day. Setting achievable goals will help in reaching the target. Very ambitious goals can be fuzzy leaving the exerciser to give up. Make the goals interesting, if you are celebrating 15th anniversary in 4 months make your goal a multiple of 15.

2) Consistency

Keep the habit going. Even if you walk just a mile in a day it is just fine. walking a mile every day is better than walking 7 miles in one day and taking a break for a week . Consistent practice will help develop muscle memory for walking. Statistics show that 80% of the folks who join  a Gym never use the gym facilities.

3) Walking in a group

#HappyFeetWalkersClub is a great motivator. Walking with friends can be relaxing. Sharing ideas, simple joys and why even some counseling..The walkers in our club motivate each other. Everytime we post a collage of our walk invariably you get messages motivating you. The human brian loves positive reinforcement

4) Rewards

Create your own rewards, remember the beautiful dress at the store or the book you want to read. Don’t buy these until you achieve certain target miles or even have family members create some rewards for you. One of our walker has a 5 year old son who keeps track of his moms miles…Goals that are communicated have a higher chance of being achieved.
