Movetober 26 Pathways

Movement is different for everyone. That's why Movetober 26 includes five pathways to help you focus on the type of movement you'd most like to spend time on this month.

Not sure where to start? Choose the pathway that feels most motivating. Some activities may fit more than one pathway. Choose the one you'd most like to spend time on this month and build momentum.

🚶 Move More

Choose this pathway if you'd like to increase the amount of movement you get in a typical day or week.

Examples:

  • Walking
  • Rolling
  • Dancing
  • Fitness classes
  • Yard work
  • Recreational activities

Just want to count your movement minutes? This is probably the pathway for you. Simply add up the time you spend moving each week and use that number as your weekly target.

⏱️ Move Often

Choose this pathway if you'd like to break up long periods of sitting or make movement a more regular part of your routine.

Examples:

  • Movement breaks during the workday
  • Stretching between meetings
  • Standing and walking
  • Chair yoga
  • Short activity breaks throughout the day
  • Movement snacks!

This pathway focuses on frequency rather than doing longer sessions of movement.

💪 Move Strong

Choose this pathway if you'd like to focus on strength, resistance training, or balance.

Examples:

  • Weight training
  • Resistance bands
  • Bodyweight exercises
  • Strength classes
  • Yoga

This pathway is about building and maintaining strength that supports everyday life.

🌳 Move Outside

Choose this pathway if you'd like to spend more time moving outdoors.

Examples:

  • Outdoor walks
  • Hiking
  • Gardening
  • Parks and trails
  • Outdoor recreation

Fresh air and nature can be great motivators to keep moving.

🤝 Move Together

Choose this pathway if you'd like movement to be more social, supportive, or community-focused.

Examples:

  • Walking with coworkers
  • Family walks
  • Group fitness classes
  • Recreational sports
  • Moving with friends

Your pathway is personal, but movement doesn't have to be done alone.

Need Help Choosing?

A good target is:

✅ Meaningful to you
✅ Realistic for your current life
✅ Specific enough to track
✅ Flexible enough to adjust if needed
