    Hello My name is Christine and I know I'm coming in late but I love my Leslie Sansones dvd's
    So I'd like to start for today and say I have no way to tell you how many miles I walk if I go on my outdoors walks
    so I'll have to tell you by minutes... I asked if this is ok and I was given the thumbs up :0)
    Now is there goals set for the group or do we make our own goals?
    Please help me figure this out
    Thank you and I look forward to meeting you all :0)

    Phew....5 mile fat burning walk with boosts. Big Tick :)


    Total for the month now 20 Miles.
    Goal 60

    Hi Ozzyzmommy, I am new here too. I think you can just pick a goal for yourself to the end of the month and walk, walk, walk :)

    Today = 3
    Total to date = 27
    Remaining = 33

    Goal = 60

    Today I did Walk Away the Pounds 3 Mile Abs without the belt. I'd really like to try the walk & jog but really struggling to find it here in the UK.

    I'm watching a bundle of dvd's on ebay that are compatable for the UK players, a couple of day left to run on them.

    Can anyone explain how to calculate a calorie burn?

    I know that I walked 3.5 miles in 52 minutes today, but I have always used the exercises
    listed here like walking dog, moderate pace, 3.0 miles. I pretty much struck out on my own
    today and realized I didn't know how. Thank you for any help.

    Goal: 50 miles

    Today:3.5 miles

    Total: 38.5 miles

    Sorry, I stink at Math...the corrected total is 40.5 miles total.

    I recently saw a similar question and the overwhelming response was (regarding Leslie dvd's) to log as low impact aerobic, so that's what I have been sticking to. I must really look into a hrm sometime soon.

    The calories for low impact aerobics totals the same as 4mph.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Helenzback,

    I searched out low impact aerobics in the exercise area, input 52 minutes, it gave me 314
    calories. It helps to know that Leslie counts as low impact. Thanks for the insight!

    Nice walking this week ladies! Great job! I have been sick the past couple of days but was able to get in 2 miles this afternoon. I feel like I am stiffening up when i don't get my walks in.

    I strongly suggest investing in a Heart Rate Monitor to accurately calculate your calorie burn. I got one last year and I don't know how I lived without it before.

    Pulled out a 2 Mile walk off even more weight with the weight belt today. I broke a nice sweat so I feel a little better.

    GOAL - 50 MILES
    SO FAR - 21.5 MILES
    LEFT TO GO - 28.5

    Walk yourself happy! Hang in there, Friday is coming!

    No workout today-spent the day at the dentist. Ate too little and not wisely. Will try again
    tomorrow. Thank you, ladies, for staying the course and inspiring me! Have a great night!

    Welcome!
    Everyone makes their own goals according to what you want to do.

    Good for you in figuring out a way to include your outdoors exercise walking!
