May (2016)
WELCOME to all walkers!
May is here! And time to start a another new monthly challenge! Surely beautiful flowers and spring are finally here! You know.... April showers bringing all of those May flowers that we mentioned last month. Hopefully we shall have some extra sunshine to brighten our days, as well as our outdoor walks
Having Leslie's, or other walking DVDs, to pop in the player continues to be a great alternative to walking outdoors. Because of the warmer weather walking or hiking outdoors will be a pleasant alternative to the DVDs for those who enjoy getting their miles or minutes outdoors. Especially after the long winter or extra rains many of us have had.
This group is open to any and all walkers. The majority of us use Leslie Sansone Walk At Home DVD workouts, as well as those great walks or hikes outside on the trails or pathways that are available to us, or a walk in our neighborhood, and on the treadmill, as well as other Walking DVDs. All of these many options count toward our miles and minutes. However you get your walk in, come on in and join us! Post your miles or minutes that you have walked, however you do it... it is all good!
We are a happy, supportive group, and I promise that joining this walk challenge will motivate, challenge, as well as inspire you!
Set your goal for how many miles or minutes that you want to walk, indoors or out, this month. This is your own personal goal
. Post your results daily, weekly, or whenever you like.
If you find this challenge in the middle of the month it doesn't matter which day of the month that you join in. Just set your goals to reflect what you want to walk for the remaining days in the month. You are always welcome
!
So if you are new to the group please feel free to start today so that by the end of the month you will be that much closer to your health goals. It is never too late to join in
Tie up those walking shoes and get some water, and let's start walking !
It is always fun to read which DVD, whether Leslie or another instructor, that you used. Or whatever form your walk took, whether outdoors or on the treadmill or anything in between. We all could use some new inspiration sometimes, or inquiring minds sometimes just want to know . So please share if you would care to
. (pretty please 
)
Come on in and let us start walking the Monthly Walk Challenge together. I am truly grateful for each one of our precious walkers who continue to inspire and motivate mile by mile, and step by step, each month.
And now... let us lace up those walking shoes and get our water... and we will begin to walk into May of 2016!

I am in! 160 this month!
Happy Walking everyone!0 -
I am in too.
My goal for May is 40 miles - or 10 miles a week. I have gotten myself up to 2 mile walks, with Leslie, and it feels great, but I want to add in another form of exercising too, using weights, so I am anticipating some soreness which could impact my walking. I won't know how things will go until I try, so I have kept my goal reasonable. I'm hoping I am worrying for nothing, and that by the end of May I am doing longer walks with Leslie, or outside.
Today is rainy, foggy, and miserable looking outside. Weather looks like the rain may stay all week. Thank goodness for Leslie!0 -
I'm in and up'ing my goal to 68 miles in May. My 5K is in about 6 weeks.0
-
100 miles. I am hoping to make most of these miles while golfing.
10/100
10 miles golfing 27 holes this morning.0 -
I just did 3 miles with Leslie. (First time for 3 miles.)
Thanks @PinkyPan1 for mentioning the American Heart 3 miles, because that is what I did today. I almost gave up at 2 miles, was really sweating - and my biggest problem was that I was dressed too warmly, and the heat is still on here (bylaw), and despite having my balcony door open and a fan on, I was sweating profusely. But then I realized that part of the 3rd mile would be cool down, so I kept going.
Thank you group - again - for these challenges. They keep pushing me forward.
3 miles out of 40 done.
Added: Congrats PinkyPan1 on your 10 miles today.
Deeder522, I hope you are feeling well now, and good luck in your 5K when it comes.2 -
My goal for May is 62 miles. That averages 2 miles a day.
I like the American Heart walks too. Especially when you want a no nonsense just basic walk. But like to mix it up with some of her others and my favorite - outside hikes.
I just did the last two week of April so looking forward to a full month challenge.0 -
well I'm going for 100 this month

A few years ago I challenged myself to do 100 miles in May. After falling off the bandwagon and putting 40 pounds back on. I think I should stick to something that seems more realistic for me and getting back on.. I am going to join @hollyhock1009 in her 40 miles in May. I plan on walking 3-4 tonight.

I had a good start today with a nice walk on the treadmill. Weather has been up and down here in Michigan so I'm waiting for it to stabilize before I can get back outside. Hoping to get to the Gym 3-4 mornings from now on.0

I'm a newbie to the group
I set my May walking goal to 60 miles; down 2 miles so far 1 -
2 miles down today - 1 outside, 1 to Leslie.
Also did some Walmart walking while I was getting my snow tires removed by the garage next door, but I have no idea how to figure that - wandered for an hour.
Total now 5 miles out of 40.
For whatever reason, tonight I ache all over, especially in my upper arms. Does anyone else get soreness in their arms from Leslie's routines?
My feet and legs also hurt, which is not uncommon. I hope it's just because rain is coming.1 -
Welcome @Melissa_ky2012. Congrats on the 2 miles down.0

I do this. It's either my gym clothes if I'm working out at home or my everyday clothes and have my gym bag packed to go in the AM.0 -

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry to have been AWOL! I have had the worst time getting back into my walking routine! I am also stunned at how fast weight comes back when I get off my routine for just a few months!
Thankfully, this semester from hades is over and I am getting back on track, although I have not done great this week. 
My goal is going to be 3 miles a day or 93 miles this month because I will also need to do some lifting. It feels good to be back!!!
May-3.0/day or 93 miles this month
5/1-Vivofit tracked-2.0 miles=2.0 total miles
5/2-Vivofit tracked-1.4 miles=3.4 total miles
5/3-Vivofit tracked-1.5 miles=4.9 total miles
5/4-Vivofit tracked-1.1 miles=6.0 total miles
5/2-Vivofit tracked-3.3 miles=9.7 total miles
