Question for you all….I walk with a fitbit all day and was wondering do you guys post your all day miles on here or just your exercise miles? So far I just have posted exercise miles. TIA
I'm logging exercise miles. I walk indoors and outdoors so I may take a couple walks per day especially if the weather permits.

Are we supposed to list the miles per day? I've just been posting my total but I can go back and check/repost each day's total.0

Hello all! I just found this group and I'm glad I did. I've been walking with the Leslie Sansone DVDs for a few years, off and on, but mostly on since the end of Dec when I made a conscious decision to stick with it, so I've been doing 2 mile DVD walks at least 4 times/week. As of today, I'm down 18 lbs, and I attribute alot of that to the walking.
Question for those of you who do more than one per day; Do you do both back to back? And if so, do you skip the cool-down for the first and the warm-up for the first?
I'd like to add more miles to the workout, but most of my DVDs are shorter walks, and I'm not sure how to combine them.
Congrats on your weight loss! Bravo!
I do not do her cool downs but keep at a steady pace until the next video starts. I often "out" walk her due to my heart rate being elevated. I aim for at least 4 miles and I usually do 2 mile walks back to back. Not always. I live with chronic back pain and I never know which walk I will be doing from day to day. Some days are slower pace and other days I am doing 5 Mega Miles. The weather is warming up a bit and I am able to get a few miles outside and then I come inside and walk 2 miles with her.
Welcome to the group and walk strong!

Welcome to our group. You can log your miles or times in any way that makes you comfortable. Everyone is doing there own thing. You do not need to go back and repost.
We are glad to have you here.

Hi all,
As far as the way I do the exercise posts, mine are are back to back if I post more then one dvd or set of exercise miles in one day. Sometimes they are from the same dvd and its two different sections of the dvd. So I will do the warm up to one but the cool down from the last section. Does that make sense? I am only posting the exercise miles just to make sure I am doing some kind of extra walking to burn those calories.

Welcome, Ribbittee! Awesome that you are joining the challenge. Wow, you are determined in your decision in December to stick with it. I'm so proud of you for doing just that, and getting rid of 18 pounds :drinker: Amazing!!
About your question. When I do 2 different walks back to back. I do the cool down for the first to get the mileage in, but not at a cool down pace, if that makes sense. I do the "warm up" time for the second workout, but much faster than a warmup and I try to stay as intense as I was doing when the previous walk/DVD ended. If I have to I boost it up or make up my own moves to keep from slowing down in the transition between workouts then I do it.
If the warmup to the second w/o is totally separate, and isn't officially part of the mile, like in the 5 Day Walk Plan, then I skip it of course.
Also I keep walking or boosting while the second walk or DVD is loading. That can seem like forever sometimes lol.
I also have done each walk at completely different times of the day if that is how it fits in. Very effective also, just in a different way.
Good question. Make it work for you! If you are getting tired but still want to do another walk, then slow down a bit on the cool down and start up easier for the warm up for the second walk. I have also done that.
Every day is different!
Happy walking :flowerforyou:0 -

Sorry that you were sick deladypilot, but I'm glad that you are able to start back to walking again. You'll hopefully be ready for some catch up later in the month. But in the meantime start out slowly and take care of yourself. We don't want you to have a relapse.
Welcome back!
