Try It / Walk with Walgreens

[ 4 ] 06/09/2011 |

You know how sometimes you just stumble upon a good thing? That happened to me. I don’t even really remember how I found it. I think I was just websurfing and there it was.

It is a new program that Walgreens has for walking. Alison Sweeney is involved with it. I wish I knew this before I met her. It would have been a great thing to ask her about.

Here is how Walk with Walgreens works. (from the website)
1. Walk with Walgreens is a program that rewards you simply for walking.
2. The goal is simple: to get more of us walking more steps, in more places than ever before. Why? Because walking is the most fundamental exercise there is. And making it an important part of your daily lifestyle can have a major impact on your health, happiness and even the environment.
3. Just set a goal, then log your daily steps. In no time at all, you’ll be receiving rewards and coupons from our partners for doing what you already do. Next, get inspired by others’ walks, photos, videos—and then share your own.

Now that sounds easy enough doesn’t it? Go to Walk with Walgreens and check out the site. There are videos to watch to really understand the program. You can sign up there and see where this adventure will take you.

We have a new challenge starting next week and I’m using this program as part of my fitness goals for the challenge. You could too. Go check it out and see what you think. I’m excited about it. I hope you will be too.

    I was at Walgreens twice this week and kept seeing signs about this program. Guess it’s time to get on board….cuz I can walk even in the heat of the summer but running….not so much!! Thanks for the push to keep me moving during the summer!

    That’s very interesting and might be just exactly what I need.  I’ll definitely check it out!

      Everything is online, so it certainly makes it easy for you.  You don’t even have to go to the store to do it.  Give it a try.  I’m enjoying it so far and now that I am done with school, I can really get into it.  I love my morning walks.
