Wraiythe -- Welcome to the monthly challenge. If 2 miles are too much, 1, if one is a problem, call that doc and see what's up. We can't have you passing out during the challenge! This isn't the Batann Death March. So go at your own pace. :flowerforyou:

LOL!!! The passing out is one of the problems I'm seeing the neuro about. :laugh: I figure eventually I'll just pass out ON him and see what he does then. Hah!0 -
Thank you Ann for your kind words. I don't wear shoes for my Leslie walks. I probably should but I don't. Seems to work ok for now at least.
Jean, Ellen Barret has a couple of cardio and cardio/strength workouts that are done without shoes. I must try it with Leslie and see what my feet think. I would classify Ellen's Barefoot Cardio as more intense than several of Leslie's workouts and I never had any problems doing them back in the day. We had wall to wall carpet then. Now workout on a hall runner on top of my hardwood floors.
I have started working out upstairs where I do have carpets (hope I don't wear a hole in it lol). In the Leslie Sansone book she says you should never work out in bare feet but wear really good support shoes. I done it bare foot for about 1.5 years without problems. I figured we were never meant to wear shoes when our species started evolving so why do I need to wear them now. Anyway, it seems to work for me (so far).0 -
Hey all! Sorry I haven't been around this month. My dad is very ill, he had a stroke at home at the beginning of the month but then while in the hospital being treated for that he had a heart attack. He is 88 years old, his birthday is next month and I would like for my dad to see 89. Any good thoughts, prayers, vibes, are genuinely and greatly appreciated. He's doing a lot better now.
I need to get back into walking as it is a good stress reliever, plus I gained some weight back. Ugh!
Goal for September: 75 miles
To date: 3 miles
Left: 72 miles0 -

Supplemama - So sorry to hear this. Prayers going up for you, your Dad and family. So glad he is doing better. And glad you are getting some normalcy back in your routine. Stress is relentless but you know that and you're fighting back. Good on you! Take care and if you need to blow off some steam, we're here for you. :flowerforyou:0 -

What a great point. A lot of long distance runners go barefoot. It can't be that bad for us.
Who knows who the first person was that said, "You know what, I'm tired of walking barefoot, I'm going to make something that will pinch my toes and rub against my heels and create blisters and deform my feet. Yes, what a great idea, and I'll get rich too." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -

Hi to everyone.
I have just found this group - YAY.
I love these DVDs. I have been with MFP since April, I am almost 54 with 2 wonderful grown up daughters, work full time in school and live in the UK. Since being on MFP I was recommended these dvds, looked it up on Youtube and was hooked. I used to be an avid Zumba fan but life got in the way then the instructor left so I was looking for something else, don't really enjoy the gym much. Hopefully we can all support each other and have fun.
How do you record ? miles or minutes or both ??
Thanks for great group.:bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
9 advanced miles with Leslie
60 miles with Leslie to date
5 miles outside
43 miles outside to date
103 miles total /goal 165
I can't go barefoot during my workouts, If I was doing a mile or 2 maybe but anymore then that would hurt my ankles, I need more support.
Happy Walking Everyone!!!0 -

WTG Wraiythe - but watch it Girl. Dizzy w/headache = bad. Sweating w/good tired feeling = good.0 -
