Leslie Sansone - Walking at Home - September Challenge

I was browsing Amazon and saw this work-out. Do you need to have a treadmill for it?

I started 2 days ago and I'm trying to walk 18 miles for the remaining days of September!

How does everyone else log their "Leslie miles"? I have just been logging it as "walking 5.0" Am I giving myself too much credit? I'm still a bit new to MFP and trying to get the hang of it! :-)

I've wondered this too, it seems it should be more than just the miles walked because of all the arm movements and the ones that use the weights or bands. I am logging the 3 mile walk as walking 4.5. So far I have not done any of the higher mile walks so not sure about them.

I meant to comment on this the other day. I would log as walking 4.0 mph cause that is the same as if you were walking outside at the pace of 15 minutes a mile. I believe most of her dvds are 15 minute miles. I know she throws in other moves but personally I would rather under estimate than over.

@asyouseefit no treadmill necessary you simply walk in place in your living room or wherever and basically thats the gist with a few arm moves, kicks and knee raises.

I also just log all my WATP miles as 4.0 mph. I know atleast some of her fast miles are 12 minute miles, but her slow miles are done in 15 minutes.

Went to the gym last night and did 4 miles on the treadmill and elliptical! Woo! I've only done my new strength band routine once, but it sure left me sore!! We'll see next week if I'm officially past my first plateau. Thanks everyone for the encouragement!

I'm off to the gym again tonight!

Keep up the hard work everybody!!

Last time I had checked in I hadn't done much walking well that seriously changed this week already.

Goal: 45
Miles done: 36
Miles to go: 9

I'm hoping to go over my goal but you never know what will come up, but that's my new goal to exceed my first goal

Hi All! I'm adding 5 miles today. Got in a great walk tonight. I'm really enjoying walking outside in this wonderful fall weather.

I do WATP and Zumba to get a variety of workouts. It is good to mix it up! If you want to try and figure out which dvds to get, you may want to check out www.collagevideo.com. You can preview exercise dvds there to see which ones you like! For WATP and/or Leslie's dvds, here is the direct link: http://www.collagevideo.com/exercise-videos/leslie-sansone-exercise-videos-10

I am 16 miles in. Have two Zumba sessions the next two nights, so I may have to slip in a walk on Friday morning before weigh in on Saturday!

I did 1 mile at work and did 1 mile of the 5day Slim.

I agree I mix it in with other workouts as well. Plus its nice to have when its too hot or too cold or too nasty outside. To add in the clips you can also go to you tube she has 2 15 minute videos there, so if you do both you get a 30 minute workout and walk 2 miles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndVjwkaLGDk

I just checked and noticed I hadn't logged in since Sunday. I'm still doing great with the walking. Haven't missed a day in September yet.

BTW....I only do WATP videos.....like them better than some of my other exercise dvds. Also, I don't live anywhere near a gym, so I have to work out at home. I do have a home gym with some equipment including an elliptical bike and a treadmill, but I just really like doing the WATP videos. Anyway, by sticking to 1200 calories a day, and doing anywhere from a 2 mile to a 5 mile walk with Leslie each day....I've lost just over 10 pounds in 21 days. Woo hoo!
