HOW TO SUCCEED WITH WALKSTER

According to weight loss researchers, people who set smaller weight goals and consistently reach them were significantly more successful than those who try to lose weight all at once. The key is getting small wins that build confidence and a routine. Walking plans focus on short-term, reachable weight loss. Losing 50 lbs cannot be done in 1 week, but losing 1-2 lbs can. In a month, that's 8 lbs! Think of where you could be in 3 months. As the weeks pass, you’ll realize you’ve created better habits and long lasting weight loss.

CONSISTENT WALKING = CONSISTENT WEIGHT LOSS

Have you ever wanted to exercise, but after a few days you got too busy, unmotivated, or just forgot? Walking is simple, motivation is not. One burst of inspiration isn’t enough to lose the weight you’ve always wanted. That’s why we decided to make a walking app that helps keep you motivated and tracks your walks, with a set program to follow. Our personalized plans are designed to build a healthy walking habit, and if you stick to it, you WILL lose weight.
