Use this log to track your progress every day. Reward yourself as you make progress toward your goals. As you track your steps, take a few minutes each day to sit down and relax. Think about the good feelings that exercise gives you, and reflect on what you've accomplished. This type of internal reward can help you make a long-term commitment to regular exercise.
Your commitment to a "healthier you" can also mean a healthier America. That's why, as a WalkingWorks® participant, you and your family are eligible to take the President's Challenge and receive a Presidential Active Lifestyle Award. This award is sponsored by the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports to recognize Americans of all ages for committing to a program of regular physical activity, like WalkingWorks®. Adults and children can achieve the award together -- it's a great way for families to work together -- everyone benefits!
Log on to www.presidentschallenge.org to find out more about America's way to recognize your commitment and achievement.
External rewards can also help keep you motivated. When you reach a longer-range goal, consider treating yourself to a new pair of walking shoes or a new CD to accompany you on your walks.
