    According to varous forums I've looked at 4mph is the closest, funny I always find the DVD's harder than any walking I've done outside, probable because of the extra speed and arm movements you do on the DVD's. Remember though is only an estimate and everyones different but at least its exercise, good luck Melodyg, do you have a target for the month?

    There are over 30 of us now taking part in this challenge which is just brilliant!!!

    Thanks! I think one reason walking outside is harder for me is that I am usually walking on concrete and it is insanely hot and humid here right now! :) I tend to vary on how much I do the arm movements on the DVDs too... depending on whether or not I've done other strength training or just how tired I am!

    My goal is 40 miles... though I'm walking for time doing that C25K early weeks so I may update that at some point. I think 40 is do-able though!

    I'm in. I love Leslie Sansone. I have an old VHS workout and I bought the 3 mile walk at home, Walk Away Your Waistline. It has a walk belt with it and I do enjoy using it.

    I will set my goal at 50 miles for the challenge. I will try to make it more but don't want to miss the mark. Thanks for putting this challenge together. I too, love to have people to work towards a similar goal. It makes it more fun for me.

    Good luck everyone. And remember, tomorrow is a new day!
    Enjoy.

    I'm in.... have some disabilities so I'm not sure my goal just yet. I will update that soon.
    Thanks for the invite ---this sounds fun and will hopefully give me the motivation and support I need.

    I'm in! I just recently added my old buddy Leslie back into my daily routine! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her workouts and I have a bunch of them!

    I am going to aim for 25 miles a week.

    For anyone who is interested--exercisetv.tv has quite a few of her workouts available for instant download (and they cost less, too!).

    How are you guys logging your exercise when doing the Leslie Sansone dvds. I am doing the 4 mile express version. I just have no idea on how to log because you are definitely doing more then just walking so therefore burning more calories ? Any advice ?

    I found from one of her posts that u should count it like this and u will have to create the workout on here

    u can typically burn 100 calories per mile with just walking
    u can burn between 125-150 calories per mile when doing the dvds with boosted walking

    I am in! I have her DVDs and I also walk on my Curves program. I am disabled and I try to walk 30 minutes to an hour everyday if possible. I am going to set my goal at 30 miles. That is 1 mile per day.....I may be able to do more but not sure. Thanks for setting up this group/challenge.
