Meerkat, the recommendation is to walk 3 miles a day. I knew if I didn't find a way or motivation, I would also never get it done. My solution: I schedule walk times with friends. One day I walk with one friend, other days I walk with other friends. It helps to have an appointment, such as 8 a.m. every Tuesday, to walk with this person or that person.
There are also walking groups that meet up at a particular location and time and walk certain pre-set places. This is good if people do not have friends to walk with. It becomes a social group and you get to make new friends. Usually these are in parks, or natural areas. There is one group in my area that selects rivers or creeks and over the course of time, walks the full distance of it, one section at a time. What I am not sure of is how they get back to their cars when the walks are over, but they must have a plan. What I do not remember is how I connected to that group to know why I get emails about their walks. For more social people, this is a great thing to motivate them to walk.
