WELCOME to all walkers!
It is New Year’s Eve tonight. That means tomorrow is our first monthly Walk Challenge of 2021 😅💪🏃♀️! We will endeavor to make January's Walk Challenge an extraordinarily awesome month because, as always, there are so many possibilities for a strong start of a healthy year... for each one of us!
This group is open to any and all walkers. Many of us use Leslie Sansone, as well as other favorite instructor's walking or workout DVDs 📀. Some of us are still able to add in those great walks or hikes 🌳 outside on the trails or pathways in our area. Don't forget how awesome a walk in our neighborhood, or indoors on the treadmill can also be. All of these many options count toward our miles, steps, or minutes.
However you get your walk in, come on in and join us! Whenever you are posting what you have accomplished please remember to also share any strength training or other types of workouts that you are doing. We all benefit greatly by learning from one another and getting new ideas.
The goal that you choose is your own personal goal for this month 👟 📆.
If you find this group 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 hope to accomplish during the remaining days of this month. It is never too late to join in
, you are always welcome!
Let's tie up our shoes 👟and get some water 💧, and start walking strong and determined this month.
Walk Happy 😁,

Welcome to 2021 everyone!!!
This month I'll continue to focus on eating gluten-free and increasing my workouts again.
My Apple Watch decided this month's goal was 260 exercise minutes this month. Challenge Accepted.
I'm adding a Year's end goal....to drop 21 pounds. Maybe a little ambitious so well see.
Milage Goal: 70 Miles tracked
Apple Watch: 260 exercise minutes.1 -
@Deeder522 Great Apple Watch, mileage and weight loss goal goals!
If your weight loss goal for the entire year seems a bit daunting at the beginning of the year, consider the total weight loss pounds divided by the 12 months in a year.... then the pounds per month goal might seem more in reach.
And maybe during those more difficult times if you divide the monthly goal by the four weeks in the month and you can see that the per week goal looks even more possible to achieve ....
You go girl, you can certainly meet each of your goals 💐!

My goal for this month will again be to keep moving by using the rebounder, walking (mostly) indoors, working outdoors🌻 🍂, and other activities and exercise.
I'm going to focus on using the rebounder primarily this month.

I'm going to primarily focus on using the rebounder this month for increasing cardio, and indoor walking for steady moving.

Hi damselfly7981. Is this the series Tami Webb produced in the 90's? I have done some of her workouts, but not any in the "steel" series. Have you done them?
I'm hoping Leslie will come out with a new workout this year soon.
Best of luck with your challenge!1 -

I went to YouTube and typed in Leslie Sansone and her team had some videos. I have not tried them. I believe they were done in Pittsburg and that is why it had the word "steel" in them. I really liked her new year challenge a couple of years ago. That is how I found her. I will try a short new one and report back.1

On her, Walk at Home YouTube page Leslie has posted a couple of new workouts.
First is the "Steel City Workouts". There are 5 videos for this series and 2 are 1-mile walks.
There are also 2 Walk and Talk videos. This is done with a local TV reporter.
Finally, Walk Run Lift with Nick & Rocky is the latest one. This is also what is new to the app and maybe her newest collection coming out.
Meanwhile, I did a 1-mile walk with Get Healhty U TV this morning.
Later I hope to do 10 min of arm strength training.1 -
Thanks, damselfly7981 and Deeder522. Glad Leslie has "granted" my wish.

I didn't sleep well Monday night so I opted out of a Tuesday workout. Better sleep last night lead to 20 minutes with Jessica Smith and her Fat Burning Cardio.
Now I'm waiting for my food energy to kick in after breakfast. Work is picking back up and I don't want to fall off my little wagon again like last month.

@Deeder522 I am glad that you had a better night's sleep and had a good workout with Jessica Smith! There is much wisdom in knowing when to skip a workout at times. Well done!

Good job everyone. I'm only stepping what I step in a day and keeping myself strong and healthy. I'll probably formally join back up for February.
I'm being vaccinated so while it's exciting its also a little rough physically and I don't want to push myself even a little.
But I'm excited everyone is walking strong and keeping this going through winter!3 -

For those of you walking indoors, if your TV can get YouTube there's a bunch of videos titled "a walk in" that vary in length from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
I Did "a walk in istanbul" which was actually an eborrow from my library this morning and loved it. It didn't have a narrator or anything so you're just strolling down streets, past sights and locals, listening to the sounds of the city as you walk. I found it was a nice way to incorporate a gentle indoor walk with no pressure to do aerobics or fast movement while keeping my brain engaged for an hour. If my husband feels OK today I'm going to force him to do it with me this afternoon 😜
Virtual travel for my walking buddies. Happy Saturday guys.4 -
@mypinkbikini What a good idea!! I've put on other YouTube programs or audio books, but an actual walking component would add a lot, and like you mentioned, it would help take my own pressure off wanting to add faster movements. And keeping my mind/brain engaged is half the battle. Thank you for the idea!
