Better together
People stick with habits longer when someone else is in on it.
One treadmill, two people#
Take turns: one walks while the other picks the show. Or alternate days and text each other a ✓ when you're done.
Long-distance buddies#
Sign in and add each other under Walking buddies in Your corner. You'll see each other's streaks and minutes this week, and who has walked today.
Keep it kind#
The point is support, not competition. A message like "Five minutes counts, go get it" beats "You're behind."
Make it a ritual#
Same time, same day, same cue. "After dinner, we walk" is easier to keep than "we'll walk sometime".
