It’s Spring, time to get moving! Join us for the Walk More Die Less Challenge and start the season right. Details on the photo scavenger hunt down below!
Motion is medicine. There are so many benefits to walking more:
Improve your mood
Reduce stress
Cardiovascular exercise
Lower blood pressure
Lose weight
Increase your endurance
Higher energy levels
Strengthen your immune system
If you can walk more, you should. You’ll die less.
Walking more than 4,000 steps daily reduces your risk of dying from any cause by 20% to 30%. Every thousand steps above that lowers your risks even further.
Sitting still all day and not walking — Bad.
Walking to counteract silly sitting — Good.
“Okay, Tim. You convinced me! I want in. But how do I start?”
The Walk More Die Less Challenge starts April 1st, for members of Time 2 Thrive.
Small changes can make a huge difference. By walking a bit more and using your intention, you will get in better shape, improve your mood, and even increase your creativity.

Accountability and encouragement in the members-only chat
A photo scavenger hunt with a daily prompt
Set your step count or distance goal and share it with the group
Set a Goal:
You can set an achievable goal and work on it every day with the group. This can be a literal walk in the park, but you don’t even have to leave your apartment if that’s impractical and hard to fit into your life. Get movement inside too.
Example Goals:
Walk around your block or neighbourhood - 1 lap/ day
Add an extra 4000 steps a day (roughly 2 miles or 3.5 km, depending on stride length.
Take the dog for a walk at the dog park.
Use the treadmill for 15 minutes after work.
Do an indoor walk workout on YouTube

Track Your Progress and Stay Accountable
Using a smartwatch or phone to count steps or measure how far you walked is a great way to collect the metrics for this challenge. But that alone won’t give you the extra incentive to get moving. For that, a daily check-in can be a big help.
We’ll use the Substack app and the chat function at the bottom.
Photo Scavenger Hunt
Each day I’ll post a Daily Scavenger Hunt Clue. When you walk, look around and see if you can spot something that matches the daily hint. Snap a picture and post it in the chat. If you feel comfortable sharing, let us know how many steps, miles, or kilometers you travelled and what the weather was like.
There will also be an accountability or inspirational message each day.
Once a week, I’ll do a Live Video to recap the week, answer any questions, and share participant feedback.
