Description

Struggling to stay consistent with your walking routine? In this episode, author and coach Frank Ring shows why you can’t improve what you don’t track—and how simple logging turns “I’ll try” into visible progress.


Frank shares the origin and completion of his 11,285-mile Virtual Walk Around the United States (including 186 miles across New Jersey), and the science-backed strategies that kept him moving for years. 


You’ll learn exactly how to track your walks—from the Walking Logbook Journal (wins, reflections, gratitude) to the Google Sheets Walking Tracker (automatic totals, graphs, mileage countdowns)—so you can build motivation, accountability, and long-term consistency.
