The goal is to walk for 5km a day for 5 days but it's also to challenge you. So start where you are at. Whether it's 5 minutes, 500 metres or somewhere in between, it's all about YOU and building habits, seeing success and feeling GREAT.

From not doing much I now walk every day.
I started at 4000 steps a day
Also, in my mind are memories of a wonderful trip to the Kimberley's last year (before my surgery) where embarrassingly, I didn't feel able to do all of the short walking, climbing trips. How bad is that? I thought I was relatively fit, well you know for my age!
I have gained flexibility, muscle and tone and have now completed 3 multi day hikes.
Margaret, Cairns, Queensland
I joked about the "older I get the better I was" as I was quite fit in my younger days.
After retirement, I spent the next 15 months “sitting”, usually reading or playing on a device. My body ached and I knew I needed to do something to get myself mobile again. The 5km challenge and Women's Fitness Adventures appeared in my Facebook feed.
I have now completed the Great Ocean Road Hike of 100km and am now booked in to a multi day hike in North Queensland.
Pauline, South Australia.
I joined the challenge and haven’t looked back.
I've lost 17kgs, and on my recent holiday, we've climbed a few hills (not long, not mountains, but steep, irregular and requiring some scrambling), and I, the hill hater, have done it. Without difficulty. I've been so chuffed. Our leader even commented on how fit I am. Wow. All of this since the first challenge.

Challenge Participants Said
"One of the best things I've done to improve my health!"
"The 5 x 5km challenge changed my life - after decades of no exercise it kick-started what is now an obsession with daily walking (I find it is so hugely rewarding), which has led to having the confidence to go back to the gym 3 times a week, and now I also do multi-day challenging treks overseas.
The 5 x 5km challenge was one of the best things I've done to improve my health and enjoyment."
- Cindy
"Even I could keep it up!"
"It was such a simple thing to do that even I could keep it up.
I am notorious for finding reasons to opt out of exercise."
- Sharon
"Gave me the kick start
I needed!"
"I enjoyed this challenge last year, it gave me that 'kids back to school kick' that I needed. I then continued getting out and about throughout the year. Apparently last year I did just over 3022kms in walking and jogging!"

Hi, I'm your host, Yvonne
In case we haven't met yet!
A self confessed outdoor and sunshine lover who gets excited about supporting women discover a love for hiking adventures.
Almost TEN years ago Women's Fitness Adventures began with a dozen strangers (all women) on a week long hike in Victoria, Australia. Each was looking for some "me time" in a supportive and encouraging group where conversation and exercise in the great outdoors was the daily pattern.
Fast forward to today and we have encouraged thousands of women to become fitter and stronger for life through fitness, adventure and a social connection to a like minded community. It all began with the first step. And now I want to share that with you.
The Women's Fitness Adventures 5km for 5 Days ONLINE CHALLENGE is the perfect place to start.
