WELCOME to all walkers!

The December Walk Challenge starts on Friday, so now is the time to be thinking about our new individual monthly challenge goals!

Having Leslie's, or other walking DVDs, to pop in the player can be a great addition to walking outdoors in the cold and snowy days of December. For those who are enjoying the cold winter weather, walking or hiking outdoors might well continue to be a pleasant alternative on those bright sunny winter days to the DVDs. For those of us who live where there is more rain and snow than sunshine, the DVDs are a tremendous help when it is impossible to get outside for a walk.

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 did 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 personal goal for how many miles or minutes that you want to walk, indoors or out, this month. This is your own personal goal :star:. Post your results daily, weekly, or whenever you like. It is such an encouragement to read each others' posts.

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 :smile: !

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 :p . (pretty please ;) )

Come on in and let us start walking the Monthly Walk Challenge together. I know that I say this each month but 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 especially for all the walkers who have kept this challenge active and awesome during this past year.

I know that we are all excited to see our long time faithful walking friends o:) join us for yet another amazing month together, and we are awaiting the opportunity to welcome newcomers to this month's Walk Challenge, the last one for 2017!

And now... let us lace up those walking shoes and get some water... as we begin to walk into the last month of 2017! Can you believe it :o . It is like we blinked and December is right there awaiting the turn of the calendar page.

Let us finish 2017 strong!

    I was going to back out of this month's challenge but now that I see no has joined thus far...I'm in. But I am not going to set a goal. I will post any walks I take and see how many miles I accumulate. It is beautiful outside today so I went for a walk.

    It was crazy this week with work and we're working through the weekend. This weekend looks like the last really nice one before the winter weather really hits me and the mitten state.

    Today: 30 Minutes of Walk Off Fat Fast. Somehow I accidentally matched my workout outfit to theirs. Rocking yellow, orange and grey today.

    2 Miles of Slim & Seek.

    Confession: I have a copy of this DVD and the copy is music only. It really weird to see Leslie's mouth moving but no words coming out. I ended up using my own music b/c I did like her choice.

    Too tough miles. Especially the speed mile. I think it's a mental thing though-I hear her say it's a 12 minute mile and I suddenly feel like I'm about to run a marathon, haha.

    Good work, Mary!

    @AnnofB, I loved your comment about the speed mile!
    For me when I plan specifically for the speed mile it is usually because it is just the opposite... 12 minutes? I can get a shorter mile finished quicker than a longer mile at this point: 'so I can force myself to do it' lol, or: 'I can fit it in'.

    Then, when I'm actually doing the mile it suddenly begins to feel like a marathon :# . Like, why did I not remember this would happen! :o lol.

    December 15: 2 miles - 5 Day Slim Down: Classic and Speed walks. @AnnofB, see, I did it again because I was short on time yesterday morning :D

    Stay warm everyone!
