@VeggieGirlforLife, You're welcome. I change things up when I either need to or just want to. There are a few things like the bounces that I can't do (old ankle injury), so I do different moves instead. I can never catch on to that cha-cha so I make up something :laugh". I always do the mambo combo because I'm bored mambo-ing back and forth forever waiting for her to "teach" me the combo
, again. Sometimes I do a triple side step when I get bored of doubles. If I'm feeling strong I'll up the number of knee lifts... if not feeling strong I'll do just one or two instead of the quads she is doing. Sometimes I'll leave the DVD running and do what I call a 'therapy' walk in the long hallway, and do all the walking exercises PT taught my brother while he was recovering from the accident. Changes up how I'm doing the walking and "surprises my muscles" when I do that. But I'm still moving. When LS is boosting sometimes I get on the rebounder and do that instead, or run around the room instead of going back and forth. These are just a few ideas, but I'll bet you will come up with your own very creative ones.
You will do really great with your recovery while adjusting your walks to fit your needs! You sound pretty determined!! Sorry to read about your Jillian Michaels injury. That is a bummer as it seems like you enjoyed them.

6.96 miles golfing this morning. By tomorrow I should reach my monthly goal.4 -
@texasgardnr I tried a few of your "moves" tonight during my workout.
I love that you mentioned your rebounder ~ I use one, too. Both of my feet have issues and I can still get great cardio, but at lower impact on it.
5 BOOSTED Miles tonight! It's becoming my Saturday thing!

My 2 mile walk yesterday left me with a nice little bright red ring around the back of my neck. April marks the 1st sunburn of the season for me.3 -
@VeggieGirlforLife, glad that my mention of the rebounder helped you, and perhaps others as well. Yes, indeed to what you said about being able to get great cardio, but at lower impact on it. I like to use it when Leslie 'boosts' in the walks. I get better boosts with it for that reason, especially with my ankle. I don't always do that, but it is definitely a better boost when I do it. Hope that you are doing better every day. Hugs.
Too many posts over the weekend to respond to them, but y'all are awesome! I needed a weekend off of DVD exercises.
@PinkyPan1, congrats on reaching your goal and beyond!!
April 23: 3 miles - Walking Off the Pounds.

The Building Healthy Habits group (that I am a member of) will soon be hosting Sit Less Boot Camp, a three week program to make sitting less and moving more part of our daily routine. This is the sixth time Boot Camp has been offered on My Fitness Pal and more than 800 people have participated in past sessions. I want to help the group to get the word out, and also invite all of our awesome walkers in this group to join in too.
@themedalist has published a blog post about Sit Less Boot Camp. She is the leader of both the Building Healthy Habits group as well as of the Sit Less Boot Camp. For information on this healthy game changer Boot Camp I invite you to please read her blog and consider signing up for this event.
Here's the location of her blog: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/themedalist/view/sit-less-boot-camp-returns-may-1st-on-mfp-951704
The first year that I joined the Boot Camp made a lasting impact on me. I will definitely be joining in again, and I would love it if you would join in also!! You will definitely be glad that you did!
