A huuugge thank you to The Conqueror Challenge for this sponsorship! If you want to join a challenge, check out their website HERE: bit.ly/KarenTC
It's been about one year since I started my first Conqueror Challenge and I'm still going! Who knew that a year later I would still be walking? I've come a long way from the days I'd give up on walking challenges. Now I'm walking every day and racking up medals in the process.

Thanks to your two videos I've decided to sign up for a challenge in the new year to get myself motivated. I've not dragged myself to the gym for a couple of months now, but if there's a medal involved, you can guarantee I'll be there 😂

@Karen_esque 2 года назад

Yesss, I hope you enjoy it! As somebody who just doesn’t like the gym and therefor wasn’t being active, these races have helped me SO MUCH. I’m willing to be outside in the cold.😂

@@Karen_esque Hi Karen, I'm just back to say today I received my first medal! I set the goal of 124m/200km in January which is the Ring of Kerry challenge, and I smashed it. Thank you so much for your videos and the motivation to get out and do something I can feel proud of 💗

I kept seeing the ads and was so tempted by the medals for years, but I always felt it had to be some sort of scam right? right? now finally bothered to research a bit deeper and signed up for my first small challenge. i'm mentally drained, it's been a tough last 12 months and i really feel i need to somehow free myself from it even if by virtually walking away ;) thank you for reinforcing it was a good choice to sign up

@daysandwords Год назад

Hi Karen, I wanted to say thank you for this video! I am a reasonably fit person but that's only because occasionally I get obsessed with things and once upon a time, that was exercise. Lately I've found that I need something to motivate me, and normally I set challenges for myself (which is fine) but often I don't have a physical manifestation of that challenge, e.g. if I wanted to run 200km in a month, I could do it but then I've got... the knowledge that I did it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of a medal that you pay for effectively being just the representation that you did the thing. And I love that you said "It's fine to just want the medals", because that's what it boils down to for me. Yes, I can run 200km in a month without the medal but why, when I can make it more fun? Great video - keep up the vids and the walking! Love from down under.

I found this app on FB but I thought you can see the landscape as you walk, I like the medals thing to motivate people and they are cute but I will wait that they manage to change it somehow, right now it just looks like opening google maps on my own, and what was most exciting to me was seeing the places in real time, not the medals. That being said, I loved how you told your journey and the nice things you said to motivate others. I so understand how this was useful for you, and you will achieve all your goals because you've already proved yourself that you can do it 😊 never give up!!

This sounds really fun, and I do not find exercising fun. I could relate to the beginning on so many levels. I deal with a chronic illness and its a true stuggle to do a lot of physical activity but I want to get more active and live a better life because I'm almost 27 but I feel like I'm 97 and that may not change, but I can try, because doing nothing is not working, it does nothing for me mentally, or physically. You definitely convinced me to give it a try. I saw this virtual challenge on Pinterest and I'm like the other people here, decided to youtube review it to see how legit it was and how it really works. I really struggle with my self esteem and have so much anxiety when I leave the house, and always feel like I'm being watched and judged and my anxiety sky rockets around people, so maybe this can help me too. Thanks for this video.

I started the LotR one. The medals are quiet cool but tbh they are quite expensive and the "entertaining" postcards to keep you motivated are quiet.. bad.. the promise to plant one tree or avoid plastic is pretty negligable too at those costs. But i liked the medals! Soo i made a deal with my boyfriend. He goes on Etsy and buys me a nice enamel Pin. And i only get it when i finish my challange. We make a list with different kinds of challanges. Longer distances at once, multiple shorter once etc. I add a nice Ribbon and maybe some seal wax. I am not saying this to discourage anyone, in the contrary :) I want people to start moving :) I myself am someone who needs motivation from outside ;)

Fantastic idea! I'm not so much into the medals, but your post just made me realize that I could reward myself with whatever my imagination can think of (within budget, obviously!) Actually, it WOULD be kind of cool to have a representation of all the places I visit virtually...maybe I'll put a world map on a wall and put a tack whenever i complete a challenge. I use Pacer app.

Can you do the virtual challenge on a treadmill in the gym? It’s been in the negatives where I live and I want to keep pushing myself to exercise on days it’s too cold to walk outside

Yes! You can exercise any way you like and their website also has a conversion chart for many activities like dancing and gardening!

Hi Karen, great video! Work has started the Conqueror Challenge and giving a code to join I’ve been thinking about it especially after watching your video considering I grew up left with the same thoughts and feelings as you. How much does it cost for someone to do it own their own?

Hi! The challenge with just receiving a medal is $29.95 USD plus tax and the package with the medal and a t-shirt is $59.90 USD. They also offer bundles where you pick 3 or more races and you save a bit that way.

I just picked my first race. I'm also an emotional eater as well. Trying to lose a little weight
