🎉 WIN #52 — Our One-Year Walk-A-Versary! 🎉
We did it! Fifty-two straight weeks of walking inspiration, motivation, and action steps. That’s a full year of showing up—for your body, your mind, your goals, and your why. Whether you’ve been here since Week 1 or just hopped on, thank you for walking this journey with me. Let’s celebrate with a WIN that reflects the heart of everything we’ve built together over the past year.
Here's the quote from April 14 entry of my Walking Inspiration book:
QUOTE: "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." - Steve Prefontaine
Perfect quote to carry into your next walk—or the next 52 weeks of WINs
Step 1: Step 1: Reflect on Your Journey
Where were you 52 weeks ago—physically, mentally, emotionally? Grab my Walking Logbook Journal, notebook or open your notes app and jot down 3 things you’ve accomplished this past year thanks to your walking commitment.
Step 2: Walk with Your Why
January’s focus in the Walking Inspiration book is all about discovering your “why.” Revisit yours. Or take today’s walk to reflect on these 4 questions:
What happens if I don’t walk?
What gives me pep in my step?
What are my strengths?
What fires up my passion?
Let the answers come to you as you move. No pressure. Just walk, breathe, and listen.
👉 Need help uncovering your “why” and turning it into real walking momentum? Check out my From Why to Walking program. It’s a quick, powerful jumpstart that’ll take you from thinking about walking... to actually walking more—on purpose, with purpose. Click here to start now.
Did You Know?
According to Walking Inspiration, your “outer world reflects your inner world.” That means every positive thought, every inspired walk, and every decision to get out the door has been reshaping your world from the inside out. That’s powerful stuff.
Step 3: Choose Your Quote
Pick a quote from the Walking Inspiration book—or use this one to walk with today:
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” – Mark Twain
Put it in your phone. Say it out loud. Let it guide your thoughts as you walk.
Easy Health Tip of the Week:
Flip to May’s chapter in Walking Inspiration—it’s all about Tracking Your Progress. Logging your walks, thoughts, or quotes keeps your momentum going and boosts motivation. Doesn’t have to be fancy. A few notes in your phone or a line in your calendar does the trick.
Step 4: Celebrate YOU
You’ve shown up for 52 weeks. That’s more than most people do for themselves. Reward yourself in a way that feels good—a new walking route, a comfy pair of socks, or just a quiet moment of appreciation. You earned it.
Product of the week:
Of course I had to make the Product of the Week... drumroll please... Walking Inspiration: A 12-Month Plan to Inspire Your Health and Fitness with 365+ Inspirational Quotes and More. I mean, how could I not? It’s our 52-week WIN-iversary, and this book is basically the WIN newsletter’s older, wiser sibling.
But heads up—it’s not just a quote book. Each chapter takes you through a different focus for every month of the year: from finding your why in January to building momentum, staying motivated, and leveling up your walking game all the way through December. It’s your year-long walking companion (minus the blisters).
So if you haven’t picked it up yet, now’s the time. Don’t make me come knock on your door with a highlighter and a pair of walking shoes. Grab your copy today—your feet, brain, and bookshelf will thank you!
Walk on,
Frank
