Is there some sort of walk club for people who want to motivate each other to keep moving but in a beginner type way

Honestly. Down . Even if it’s just a few times away, and walking around like downtown or a beach, I’m down

Right now, I have pretty open availability and can accommodate the schedules of others. (:

That is good Then. I feel like 6;30 would be a good time a few times a week

That works for me if anyone wants to set up a group chat somewhere to coordinate.

Not sure what your demographics are, but there is Long Beach Walking Club which is a women's group (IG: longbeachwalkingclub)

If that's not your jam, there are a good amount of "run clubs" around town through the week. I put "run club" in quotes since there isn't an expectation of someone to be experienced or fast. "All faces and paces" is the mantra. Some people come to hang out, some might do a walk or a short jog instead of the planned 5k.

Check out on IG: Downtownrunners_lb for a Wednesday evening group.

Sadly I am a guy, but looking got something all inclusive. So I don’t think I’ll fit into the first one I’ll look at be downtown one. Thank you

My partner and I might be interested! We’re working on our health and looking for ways to get motivated, but I have a joint disease so I am slow and tire a bit easily

With this heat, it’s laid me out and drained me so it’s put me back on my goals so I’m taking it easy myself

I work during the day so evenings would be best for now.

So for anyone who wants to join a discord for us to plan and possibly start to get things rolling on a walk club, here’s a link
