WELCOME to all walkers!

The December Walk Challenge starts tomorrow :p , so now is the time to be thinking about our new individual monthly challenge goals!

Having Leslie's, or other walking or workout DVDs, can be a great alternative to walking outdoors in the freezing cold or snowy days of December when it is difficult to get outside for a walk. For some of us, walking or hiking outdoors might still be a pleasant alternative to walking indoors, especially on those bright sunny winter days.

This group is open to any and all walkers. The majority of us use Leslie Sansone Walk At Home via streaming or using DVDs, as well as other workout instructors to mix it up, 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, and on the treadmill. All of these many options count toward our miles, steps, or minutes. However you get your walk in, or your exercise done, come on in and join us! Post your miles, steps, or minutes that you have walked, however you record it... it is all good, and hopefully fun also!

We are a happy, supportive group, and I promise that joining this walk challenge will motivate, challenge, as well as inspire you!

Set your personal goal for how you want to record your walk or exercise for this month. This is your own personal goal :star:. Post your results daily, weekly, or whenever you are able to. It is such an encouragement to read each others' posts.

If you find this challenge at any time of the month it doesn't matter which day of the month that you join in. Just set your goals to reflect what you want to do for the remaining days in the month. You are always welcome :) !
So... please feel free to start today, so that by the end of the month you will be that much closer to your health goals. It is never too late in the month to join B)

It is always fun to read which indoors walk you used or if you are also using another form of additional strength or cardio exercise, or perhaps you found a new place to walk. We all could use some new inspiration or ideas sometimes. So please share if you would like to :p .

I know that I often say this, but I am truly grateful for each one of us who continue to inspire and motivate mile by mile, and step by step, each month. And especially for all the walkers who have kept this challenge active and awesome during this past year.

I know that we are all excited to see our long time faithful walking friends o:) join us for yet another amazing month together, and we are awaiting the opportunity to welcome newcomers to this month's Walk Challenge, our last one for 2022!

Lace up those walking shoes and get some water...it's time to walk into December. Can you believe it :o . It is like we blinked and December is right here, awaiting the turn of the calendar page.

We are walking strong, together!

    My goal this month is to continue to do intentional exercise/ walking as well as other activities such as occasionally raking leaves 🍁🍂 and cleaning up the yard/garden, maybe a little outdoor walking, or extra household tasks, to purposefully increase my activity on most days, as tolerated.

    December 1: 45 minutes: indoors walking

    Welcome to December. I overachieved my mileage last month so I guess I'll make this month's goal a bit higher. I hit my daily move goal on my watch every day last month, so that was a perfect month. :smile:

    1 of my friends with an Apple Watch is a server. She starts an exercise on her watch when she starts her shirt. She racks up the rings fast! lol

    December Goals

    Total Mileage Tracked: 76 miles
    Apple Watch Challenge: Close all 3 rings 6x. 😳😳 ( Do they know it's Christmas this month??😉)

    Nice work @texasgardnr


    December Goals

    Total Mileage Tracked: 30 / 76 miles
    Apple Watch Challenge: Close all 3 rings 1 / 6x. 😳😳 ( Do they know it's Christmas this month??😉)

    Our business is slammed now, and we are booked with clients for the rest of the year. A bit odd for December but when you're self-employed beggars can't be choosers. ;)

    I've come close to my watch goal a couple of times so I'll have to be mindful to get those last 5 days. I hope everyone is still working on their goals.

    Wishing everyone a fun and safe New Years Eve. Enjoy the fun times and hopefully some especially tasty food, and a lot of smiles and memories.
    See you all in 2023 🎉😄🗓️
