Hi! I hope I am not too late to join.
I am needing to walk and hope a group will help my accountability!! Otherwise I put it off and put it off!! I will be walking outside when it is nice, but when it is not then I will be doing a Leslie Sansone DVD. The wind is blowing 40+ mph today so I am with Leslie!!

Thanks for this thread!!

I'm jumping in, too! I walk track at my fitness center (about 20-35 minutes around 3.5 - 4.5 mph 6 days a week) or now that spring may be here, I've started also walking outside. Did a lunchtime walk today, using MapMyWalk. 1.87 miles at 3.5 mph and I burned 346 calories. I am going to a State Park later so I might get in a short hike.

I just did 15 minutes of intense walking - which is great for me. I must start off slow and work up as I have been totally non-exercising for about 6 months because of a health condition. Now, I am better and want to get to moving!!

I will be back to report total steps/distance today!!

Thanks for the this thread!!

Hi Rebamae and everyone else,

Count me in, too! Just started walking a couple weeks ago. My April goal is to walk 3 days of the week. 30 minutes each time. I have been doing pretty good. But I can feel the "I can walk tomorrow" excuse creeping in to my head. So, this is the perfect thread for me.
Walked today 30 minutes today.
Plus I spent 4 hours walking an Earth Day celebration in the park with a 3 year old.
Total steps today - 11,005
Be healthy, be strong,

Good Morning to all, I had my morning to myself and it is such a beautiful day, i decided to explore a walking trail. It is close t my house. First, thing I wanted to know, how far from my house was the a trail entrance. Answer- approx. 1.5 miles. 2nd question. how long is the walk from that trail entrance to the trail head? Answer - approx. 1.5 miles ( a little less). 3rd question, how far back to my house from trail head. Answer - approx. 3/4 of a mile. round trip was 3.77 miles and took me 1 hour and 15 mins. Mapmy walk says my pace was 20 min/mi. i am getting stronger. I started out a couple weeks ago at a 24 min. mile.

I am having some confusion on which to pick on the exercise list, since i really don't know if I am going 3.0 moderate pace or 3.5 brisk pace. Today I picked the 3.5 brisk pace because the calorie burned on MFP was similar to MapmyWalk. I will have to google that, maybe i can find out what pace equals per minutes a mile. Oh boy, too much math on Easter morning.

Recap: 1hour 15 min./ 3.77 mi.

Happy Easter to all, enjoy the glorious spring day, and making memories with your family and friends.

Be healthy, be strong,

Good evening!!
I hope you have had a great Easter Sunday!
I am setting 4000 steps as minimum this week then start adding more steps each week.
My distance was 1.91

I did not walk to the DVD today. We were with family today, but I am considering taking Sundays off anyway.

"See" you tomorrow!!

I'm setting a personal goal of 10,000 steps a day with at least 4,000 aerobic steps at least 5 days a week. Today, I did 11,960 steps and 7,283 of those were aerobic.

Good Morning all you walkers,
I walked this morning outdoors at my favorite place. The Rotary Arboretum. Flat, 95% sidewalk, real pretty with ponds, native grass, flowers and trees. The trees are young so there is not much shade in the summer. And of course, here in Kansas the wind can get a little crazy. But today was cool and cloudy with little wind, even though a rain in rolling in. I wanted to determine what paths would give me 2 miles. And it was easy to figure out. 2 times around the outer paths, and once around the inner paths. I like the variety to walk different paths and either direction since it is one big round trip.

I walked 2 mies today, 42 minutes was my time.

I like to strive for 10,000 steps a day, everyday steps and work out included. On my work days, I don't have any problem with that goal. I walk all day long for 12 hours+ and rack up 10,000+, but that is only 3 days a week. I notice I really need to focus and work at getting those steps on on my days off.

Reba, good to see you setting a goal on on your daily steps. You will be upping that number in no time. YOU go girl!

I will check on this evening with my daily steps total.

Be healthy and strong,

Kathrine in Kansas

Good morning mighty walkers!!

I don't know if I will get to do the DVD today, but I will get my steps in as we have 2 grandchildren with us today= ages 3 & 5. And I should say active grandchildren. But, it is so fun to have them!! I will definitely get steps!

I hope each of you are having a great Monday. We will "see" you tonight!

Kathrine, are you not working today? I thought you always worked M, T, & W. Am I wrong about that?

I am working to become healthy and strong!

Hello Happy Walkers,

I just signed up for a walking tour of Old West Lawrence gardens in June. This is sponsored by the local Master Gardeners Club. I am really looking forward to that. Now, I am going to investigate when the local Alzheimer's Assoc. is planning their fundraising walk. I want to gather some friends and coworkers to make a team. Alzheimer's and Dementia care is what I do for a living so I am always looking for ways to help. But, in the past, I was letting others raise money when it came to the Walk. Not this year. I think we can participate two times this year, once in Kansas City and once in Topeka. Walking, Walking, Walking........ can't stop me now!

Yes, Reba, I do usually work M, T, and W. But someone needed to trade this week. So this week I work M, T, and Friday. I am impressed that you noticed. My son came by to grab some lunch and never said a word, of why I was home. I talked to my daughter, who lives in Tempe, AZ for a good 45 minutes. She didn't notice. And my other son, texted me from Dodge City, chatting away, and I answered, and he did not notice I was available to text back. LOL

Happy Walking to all

Be healthy, be strong

Is it to late to join or will there be a May Walking Challenge? I like walking

Hi everyone, just popping in to record my total steps for the day. When I looked at my pedometer i was a little disappointed. I should have worn my pedometer with my PJ's around the house this morning. I bet I would have racked up the 500 steps I am short.

todays total steps: 9,554

And that was going to Walmart this afternoon. And my 2 mile walk this morning. ..... And still didn't make it to 10,000. Well, back to work tomorrow, will definitely get to 10,000.

Be healthy, be strong, my friends,

Good morning all!!

I did not do the DVD yesterday but I most definitely did get steps done: 4969. The DGC wanted to be outside most of the day even though the wind was blowing - in case I haven't told you - I hate wind!! LOL
I am ready to change my walking goals to: 5000 steps, at least 2 miles.

Let's keep moving onward and downward!!
