WELCOME to all walkers!
Happy April Fools Day
No fooling 😁, it really is true that it is time to start the new monthly challenge for April 2021!
Even though it is already "officially" Spring by the calendar, it could still look a bit like winter with some snow falling or hanging around for some of us. And for others there might be much to see on our walks outdoors as the seasons change. Getting out to walk 🏃♀️ your miles will ensure that we don't miss the signs of spring like 🌼 and 🌳 and 🦋🐞 or🐛🐦.
Cold or Raining??? Then having Leslie's, or other exercise or walking DVDs, to pop in the player continues to be a great alternative to walking outdoors. Walking outdoors can still be an important part of fitness walking this month, when possible, for those who enjoy walking some miles or minutes walking outdoors whatever the weather might be outside.
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, 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, or on the treadmill. 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 any time during 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 walk strong, together 😃😉😄,

Happy April everyone and welcome to the group @RisingAboveIt Glad you found us.

Milage goal: 105 miles tracked.
Apple Watch Goal: Walk or run 82.9 Miles1 -
The two strength and one yoga workout thing is working for me, so I'm going with that again this month.

@RisingAboveIt I like your new profile picture! You have a beautiful smile 🌸 . Well done on the elliptical!
@Deeder522 enjoy your trip to Disney World for the girl's trip! You will definitely get in a lot of walking while there!
@AnnofB the two strength and one yoga workout thing definitely did work out well for you last month. Good choice again!
My goal for this month will once again be to keep moving by using the rebounder, walking (mostly) indoors, using the Gazelle, or working outdoors🌻 🍂. I'm also adding in, only when appropriate, time spent working or deep cleaning indoors, only if it is something more physically active/ or challenging for me.
April 1: 2.5 hours cleaning, including mopping all the floors
April 2: 2 hours outdoors & indoors working and/or cleaning

Happy Easter to all who celebrate the day.

I did a lot of yard work yesterday but didn't track steps or anything, so I didn't log it as my workout. Happy Easter!1

Thank you so much! I hate taking my picture right now since I have gained so much weight, so I was hesitant to post that picture, but I wanted a recent picture instead of clinging to one from about 40 pounds ago, ha ha.1 -

Well done @VeggieGirlforLife & @AnnofB to you both!!. Yes! I've been wondering about your arm also, especially since your strength has been only for your lower body lately. Hugs 🌼💗 and wishing you a speedy recovery if all is not ok.

March was a bust, but I am setting a goal for April!! The snow is almost gone, the ice has gone from the lake, the birds are back and the loons are calling so spring is finally in the air! On the negative side, the bugs are also back :grumble: ! I am going for 3 miles a day average this month, rather than any particular workouts. With all the changes that came with retirement, moving, getting this house remodeled, unpacking and COVID, I am still trying to find my workout groove! :laugh: Since my Garmin tacks my miles I have no excuse not to know how many I have throughout the day so 3 miles a day it is!!!!
April-3 miles average/day =90 miles for the month

@RisingAboveIt It does not look like the weight you have gained has been in your face at all!!! Your photo is lovely!!! Welcome to the group!
@Deeder522 Have a great time in Disney World! Set your "Disney Miles" and call it good! :laugh:
@AnnofB Gosh, you are so consistent with the strength training. My goal for fall is to get back into the strength workouts. Right now, I just want to get rid of these winter pounds!!! :explode:
@texasgardnr I love how you set time goals and maybe I should have done that more this winter. I was amazed at how few miles I walked while being exhausted every night from unpacking things, cleaning constantly after construction dust, setting up closets etc. Maybe if I had set time goals, I might not have been so discouraged. I need to keep this in mind in the future.
@VeggieGirlforLife Those are some pretty intense leg workouts you have there with no rest day. I know you are frustrated with the arm injury, but be careful not to compensate for it by adding a leg or foot injury. That would be awful! :sick:
