I love seeing all these miles and minutes everyone is doing! So inspiring to read
.
April 10: 55 minutes - Mix and Match Walk Blasters: I did the "Total Body Workout" preset walk with added intervals on the gazelle. Plus in the afternoon I did 3 hours of spring cleanup outside.

Hi there! Another newbie here....
I deal with fibromyalgia including major fatigue, so I’m not sure where to set my goal really... but I’m glad to have found this group! Inspires me to actually get this dvd out and use it.
Instead of miles, I’ll say my goal is to get it out and have 5 sessions of any length before the end of the month. Is that okay?4 -
14/90
U5DWP - Wednesday - 1 Mile
I was hoping to get in a second walk in the afternoon, but it didn’t happen.2 -
Hi @dalynnrmc and welcome! We all make our own personal goals so you can choose whatever works for you.
My aunt had fibromyalgia and I know exercise was pretty difficult for her. I hope you have good days where you feel like walking and you will share your accomplishments with our group.

7.12 miles golfing today2 -
Welcome @dalynnrmc , My Mom has Fibro and I've been trying to get her to just watch a small walk in hopes she will actually try one.
Today was the community walk at a county park. Luckily today was fairly warm ( 50's). It was a slow walk however so I'm down on my steps today. 1.80 miles and my heart rate didn't even get high enough to trigger exercise minutes. At least I know to make sure I get some time in with Leslie before a walk.

Welcome @dalynnrmc! Your goal is awesome! We all make whatever goal works for us, or our circumstances, for the month. And it can change from month to month also. We will definitely be cheering you on!
@MelsLeanDream, I also agree that one mile is good!! Well done.

Marching in Malibu with Jenny Ford. Haven't tried this one in a while and it's still not one of my favorites, sorry to say since I like Jenny. Back to Leslie and Jessica for walking later today3

I'm new to this group this month so welcome to @MelsLeanDream and @dalynnrmc! This is a very welcoming group to be sure.
I'm counting minutes with Leslie Walks and outside yard work (mostly dog related after a full winter of lots of snow). So, for Wednesday I did 45 minutes of gardening and 45 minutes of Leslie. Thursday (today) I have done 33 minutes of Leslie Walk for a total of 123.
Prior = 375 + 123 = 498/1200 minutes for April.
Snow is almost gone and we now have robins in the yard!! Cathy B.6 -

4.75 miles golfing this morning.2 -
Grocery day. I haven’t logged more than about 500 steps in a day since I started... and I’m now sitting at over 8k for the day.
I’m in so much pain and will never go grocery shopping by myself again.3 -

That's a big jump, 500 to 8000! Don't get discouraged you'll get there even with baby steps and sometimes baby steps are the best steps.1 -

Goal met for this week. Going to some plant nurseries with a bud tomorrow. One more frost says our local weather guesser, so... I'm not putting anything out yet in case he's right.
Walk Strong, everyone! Little steps lead to big results if they are done consistently. Start where you are and do what you can. You are going to be successful!1 -
4 Mile Super Challenge
It was my first time with this one, but I probably won't do it again. Not enough variety for me and I kept checking the clock waiting for it to be over.
It's still fun to try all of Leslie's walks, so I will continue to look for ones that are new to me in addition to my current favorites. 2 -
@MelsLeanDream, belonging to this group does affect our desire to walk/ exercise... in such a good way! Great insight!
@berardellicm6, I look at activity like gardening as functional fitness exercise... it definitely counts as exercise! Great minutes!
@Deeder522, I have not heard of Jenny Ford's DVDs. I'm glad that there are enough instructors out there that everyone can find their own favorites that works for them. I've given away various DVDs over time that just haven't clicked for me.
@PinkyPan1, another lovely profile pic. Awesome golfing mileage! you always do so well with those miles.
@dalynnrmc, that sure is a lot of steps. I am so sorry that you are hurting a lot. Feel better quickly :flowerforyou:
@AnnofB, your DVD choices always sound so like they would be so awesome and effective! Especially today's.
Have fun at the plant nurseries! I love all things gardening
April 12: 2 miles - 5 Day Slim Down. As well as several hours doing yard/garden work.
Walk for your health!

Yeah... but it’s not usually as bad as this time because I have help getting stuff off shelves, loading onto the belt and into the vehicle, and usually hubby and I split up and he gets the meat while I’m in the center of the store. (We usually shop produce, dairy, and frozen sections together.) That saves so much time and energy!!3 -

2 Fast Miles tonight.
We are under a Winter Storm Watch in my area. Name your participation of choice b/c it's in my forecast! Rain, Snow, Ice, and Sleet. Nothing says Pure Michigan like an old ole April winter storm.2 -
4 Mile Walk from Leslie's Ultimate 5 Day Walk Plan
Oh my @Deeder522!
It was 77°F here today. We're expecting plain old thunderstorms tonight. 2 -
April 13: 30 minutes - 3 mini walks from Mix & Match Walk Blasters.
Our rain chances fizzled out with only a few minutes of light drizzle today
. Sure could've used the rain again. We are fluctuating between the low 40s on up through the high 80s already.
Y'all stay warm, dry, and safe. Having DVDs is especially great during the cold, wet weather!
Enjoy the weekend!

We ended up last night with a light and sound show with plenty of rain, lightening and thunder, wind and small hail. Totally surprised me :noway: in the middle of the night since I hadn't looked at my weather app in the evening. But it did usher in the awesome 20 degree drop in temperatures for another burst of spring like weather for the weekend! Lots of wind for the next several hours so I'm getting the laundry washed to hang out on the line. I really like to make sure I use my clothes line when it is unusually windy.
@MelsLeanDream, the U5DWP is such a fun DVD. I like to walk my "blue walk" when I want 2 miles. The warm up and cool down and the 'blue' walk x2. So named because everyone wears blue for those segments
lol, and I like the "Proud Mary" song 
.
@berardellicm6, Awesome being on track with half way to goal and half way through the month! Well done!
April 14: 60 minutes, includes 1 mile - The Tone Every Zone Walk: both the upper and lower body strength circuits and the 20 minute fast walk. Plus extra stretching. I'll be cleaning house and working on my Declutterfest project today. Yay! I love to declutter :laugh:
Walk happy and enjoy your weekend!
