Secret Hikes in the Canadian Rockies

“Please take that hike out of your book. It’s a secret few people know about. I want to keep it that way.” We rarely receive a request to excise a particular trip from one of our hiking guidebooks, but when we do, that’s the thrust of the argument: Someone wants to keep their “secret route” [...]

Joining Calorie Camp

GoFit Scale Alex sent in a report on how he walked off 75 pounds. He has good advice, the same you have heard from me -- you need to eat fewer calories than you burn off each day, while still getting the healthy nutrition you need. A combination of more activity and exercise, plus eating fewer empty calories, will lead to steady weight loss. This is the basis of my free Walk of Life 70-Day Program.

Ocklawaha, Piney Island Landing, Eaton Creek

This was the first time I'd paddled this section of the Ocklawaha during the draw-down and you can certainly see the difference in the water level. My guess would be the level was at least three feet lower than 'normal' meaning the current was faster than 'normal' as well and the river banks exposed. Paddling against the current was a workout and taking photos even more of a challenge.There were Alligators, Raccoons, Robins, beautiful red Cardinals, lots of song birds, noisy Hawks, Great Blue Herons, Little Blues, and I saw what I thought was an immature eagle. We could hear Sandhill Cranes, but didn't see any until the ride home. They were on the side of the road. Odd that I've seen more Cranes roadside than while out kayaking - what's with that? And while I didn't capture all of the above with my camera, I did manage to get a few out of the ordinary.... Turkeys!More photos are posted on Meetup.com

Steps to More Steps Per Day

How can you be more active throughout the day and beat the health effects of being inactive? Here are some steps to begin.

Wear a pedometer - it's the best and easiest way to know how much you really are moving each day.
Set a step goal that is 2000 steps more than what you log right now on a typical day.
Wear comfortable shoes to work or school so you can fit in bouts of walking throughout the day.
Find cues to get out of your chair every 15 minutes throughout the work day. Whenever you take a call, stand up and pace around. This will help battle the health effects of sitting too long at any one time.
Spend most of your breaks and half of your lunch time walking. This should easily add 3000 to 7000 steps to your daily total.
Aim for 30 to 60 minutes of moderately-intense exercise, such as a steady bout of brisk walking, as its own activity. This will bring you the health and weight loss benefits of aerobic exercise.

Starting Over After an Injury

If you haven't been walking for fitness for over two months due to an injury, you may wonder how to start over again to rebuild your walking program. I've had this experience several times. Plantar fasciitis, knee injury and sprained ankle were the causes for me. But many have had a break due to a long respiratory illness or other malady. Once the pain had cleared and my doctor gave me the go-ahead, I started fresh and slowly like somebody new to fitness walking.

Successful Training Gives Leaders Tools to Grow their Memberships

Recently, one of our member organizations told us they didn’t just want to match the more than 12,000 members of San Francisco Bicycle Coalition — they wanted to exceed it. What better way to do that than send their membership coordinator to learn tactics and methods from Kate McCarthy, the well-known and respected Membership Director of SF Bicycle Coalition, and Ellis Robinson, a leading guru in the membership development field.

Thirty-eight bicycle and pedestrian advocates — representing three countries, 24 states and provinces, 33 cities, and 30 Alliance member organizations — attended the second Alliance Membership Development Training, July 20-22. Hosted with special support from the Active Transportation Alliance in Chicago, the training offered two-and-a-half days of instruction, sharing of best practices, small group break-outs, and, of course, outside-the-training networking time for Alliance leaders to connect with each other and build those long-lasting and supportive peer relationships.

It also set out an ambitious goal for the bike-ped movement: The Alliance challenged the attendees to double their organization’s membership within three years. With the skills they learned, they’re ready and willing to take on that mission.

“I appreciated this training so much,” Elizabeth Stampe of Walk San Francisco said. “I can’t wait to implement the terrific ideas I got from my colleagues and the trainers to double our membership!”

Sue Prant from Community Cycles in Boulder, CO, echoed that sentiment: “This training gave us tools to help us refine our membership program, as well as giving us tips and ideas for new activities to engage and recruit new members.”

Tom Rousculp, from the Bicycle Transportation Alliance in Portland, OR, added: “The Alliance training has given me the skills and tools to take our membership program to the next level in a thoughtful and professional way.”

In addition to the training itself:

SRAM hosted a “Welcome to Chicago” social on Wednesday evening
Participants observe a pit stop — Active Transportation Alliance’s adaptation of the SF Bicycle Coalition’s Service Station
Attendees gained first-hand knowledge of the city’s infrastructure with a bike ride and walking tour
The entire group ended Thursday with a gathering in Millennium Park

Whether participants connected with peer groups working in similar geographic or modal scope, or gained insight on the improvements they need to make within their organization to grow their membership, the evaluations indicated that every participant walked away with new and powerful knowledge.

“Connecting with my peers over the better part of three days has not only given me new ideas but also a network to contact with questions and concerns as I grow our membership,” Cait Costello from Palmetto Cycling Coalition in Columbia, SC, said.

Elena Santogade from Transportation Alternatives in NYC described the training as “Inspiring, exhausting, exhilarating — a must-attend.”

Carol Feucht from the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition summed it up: “After this training, I have confidence that my job matters. Members and volunteers matter, and I’m glad a training like this exists for bike and ped orgs.”

Find all the resources and training materials in the Alliance Resources Library here.

Besides mapping and measuring your walks, you can geo-tag photos and add them to your saved routes. That ability was formerly only available for the iMapMy+ apps and not the free ones. You can tweet your walk or post it to Facebook.
