    My goal was is 10000 steps per day so the first week I walked 73000 and the second week I walked 83000! But this week I think I overdid last week and my arthritic knee is throbbing so I am only doing 7000-8000 steps per day. I'm slowly working back up to the 10000.

    Fantastic job! And yes, we have to listen to our bodies and not overdo it. Hope your knee is feeling better soon.

    @AnnofB what is the website you use for your strength workout? I would like to find one I can do. I have a metal knee so some of them I am not able to do, and my 60 year old body is just getting back into shape..... LOL. Great job with following the Strength up with a mile walk.

    @lolomama_ Great job on the steps but ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! That is what my daddy always tells me..... Keep up the great walking.

    @VeggieGirlforLife are the radio remix miles on YouTube? I only have one of Leslie's DVD's and have just been doing the ones on YouTube..... If they are on there will you please post the link. Great job in keeping up the active walks.

    @zichab Great walking with the fitbit.... I have a Withings and it doesn't track the miles just the steps.

    @knjstolt No, sorry, that workout isn't on YouTube. I bought the DVD. I checked out all of her Walk to the Hits DVDs from my library and I liked the Radio Remixes the best, so I decided to buy it. I have purchased several of her DVDs used from a local resale shop, too. I don't know if you have any place like that around you, but I got the idea from someone else on here, so I thought I'd mention it to you.

    I saw you asked someone else, but for strength have you tried HasFit on YouTube? They have a beginner playlist and they always show modifications.

    Hi knjstolt, All of my workouts are on DVD's. Though I have used HasFit.com before. I got most of DVD's from Amazon, but Wal-Mart and Target carry some too. And VeggieGirl mentioned a great source being resale shops.

    The DVD's I am using now are "The Yogini Workout" by Ellen Barrett, Strength and Stamina by Kelly Coffee-Meyer and Cathe Freidrich's "Basic Step and Body Fusion". I don't do the Step portion any more, but this DVD has a beginner Strength workout too that I have been using for a while.

    Ellen Barretts workouts are on youtube. I looked at Cathe and Kelly's stuff and you can get an idea from what's on youtube, but there full workouts are not there.

    Great job on your workouts!

    @VeggieGirlforLife Thank You I will check out local resale shops... I am in Lufkin S.E. TX so not a big town. But it never hurts too look. @AnnofB also told me about HasFit so will check that out too.

    @AnnofB Thanks for the info. I have the names written down and will look at local resale shops as @VeggieGirlforLife suggested.

    I appreciate both of you helping with the information.

    17.53 Miles tracked last week. that Brings me to about 52 Miles so far this month.

    I haven't been posting much b/c we are in the middle of finalizing our LLC paperwork. State just came back OK and now we can send in the federal paperwork. All that plus quarterly taxes and property taxes are coming due. My focus has been elsewhere.

    VeggieGirl, great walking! I wish I could talk myself into doing strength training. Good on you for setting up a new habit and sticking with it!

    Hi everyone! I just joined this group. I love Leslie Sansone walks, she's always so upbeat! I want to finish January strong - so I'm committing to walking 15 miles before the end of the month. I think that's doable - it's 5 3 mile walks. I'm on it!

    Welcome Yana220. Glad you joined us. You can do it!

    PinkyPan, I had to look that up. The most repeated phrase was how painful this is. :( Glad you are feeling better.
