| Today's workout is a walk — we're on day 6 of our walking streak!
This month we're focusing on stretching our feet and lower body after each walk. On days when you have a little more time, trainer Stephanie Mansour put together a full-body cool down routine. A standing lunge with side reach stretches the entire side of the body, from the calf all the way up to the waist. To perform: - Step into a standing lunge, then reach the opposite arm of the bent leg up toward the ceiling.
- Bend at the waist, reaching your arm over to the side of the bent leg. This elongates the entire side of the body, from the straight leg behind you all the way up the side waist and hip flexor.
- Hold for a few counts, and then switch sides.

How Start TODAY members celebrated their 1-year walking streak |
Last June, Al Roker and Stephanie Mansour (and a group of Start TODAY members!) kicked off the new workout plan with a walk around the plaza live on air. The segment inspired thousands of people across the country to join the Start TODAY Facebook group and commit to walking with us. This month, those members are celebrating their one year "walkiversary." And they commemorated the occasion in creative and inspiring ways. Start TODAY member Kristine Davis downloaded the first walking challenge on June 1, 2022 — a year later she hasn't missed one day. She celebrated her one-year walkiversary with a tattoo!
"Today I celebrate my 1 year anniversary with the Today Walking Program. I am so happy to be a part of this walking family," she wrote. "I promised myself if I made it through 1 year of the Start Today Walking Challenge that I would get a tattoo that said 'I did it'... Well here it is."
See how 6 other members celebrated their walkiversary. |
