Leslie Sansone March 2017 Walk Challenge

I'm in for 60 miles. Unfortunately, I have come to a sad conclusion that I can not do Leslie Walks any longer. I do believe my leg pain is a result of stomping in place during her videos. I have tested this theory 4 times since November and after doing her workouts my legs are burning and I have hip pain too. I have tried doing her beginner ones and have the same problem. I am going to take a break from her walks and see what happens. I started Mall walking this morning and managed 4 miles. Between golf, the outdoors and the mall I hope to eventually get my groove back.

I'm glad you have found out what was causing the problem. That's epic. Now you can heal and find what is going to work for you.

Never in a million years would I thought I'd ever think of LS workouts as being too advanced, but when I was looking through her app to find today's workout, I found myself thinking that very thing. I've been subscribed to the app for over a year. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the workouts they are choosing, and the customized workouts they are putting together don't seem very beginner friendly. It used to be that way.
For now, I'm leaving the app and have dug out my old 1-Mile DVDs. I have many, thankfully. Tomorrow, I'm looking forward to doing a sentimental oldie--WATP: Get Up and Get Started (with the blue weighted balls).
I want to do a one-mile workout every day this week. I'm hoping, by the 7th, I'm up for the challenge of doing Walk and Kick. That is my favorite LS workout of all time.
Hope everyone is doing awesome!
I've noticed this too about her latest workouts. I like the older workouts very much still. I've been doing the 4 Mile Super Challenge for over a decade and never get tired of it.0 -

Do you have a place that you could do some water walking? I've heard that it is a great way to rehab knees.
Unfortunately no.0 -

zichab & AnnofB: Thank you both for sharing your thoughts about the newer LS workouts. I was wondering if it was just me and that my fitness level had decreased so much even an LS workout was difficult. Reading your thoughts gave me comfort.
Ended up doing the 1-Mile Get Up and Get Started. Ah! I haven't done this workout in years. And while it did get my heart rate up, it wasn't fast-paced enough to wear me out. Yay!

Hope you all have a great weekend!1 -

It's funny but whenever I do a workout I haven't done in a while, it seems a bit more challenging that the one's I'm currently doing. Must be true that as Leslie says, your body gets used to doing the same motion over and over and becomes very efficient at doing it.
Good work. Hope you have a nice weekend too.

Hello, everyone!
I found this group and challenge this morning and am excited to be a part of it. I am just getting back into a routine, so my goal is to walk at least 4 times a week and to log at least 30 miles. A majority of my miles will be logged using a Leslie Sansone workout (I have Walk Away the Pounds: 5-Day Fit Walk and just ordered 3 of her other DVDs) and the others will be from walking breaks at work.
Happy walking!
