Hope you'll join cfbjj1124 and myself!

You can walk or run your 6 miles

You can do all 6 miles at once or spilt it up into anything that works for you!

I mix it up a bit.... sometimes I do six 1 mile walks as fast as I can over the course of the day and other times I do all 6 at once at a slower pace. Today I walked twice and earned an extra 726 calories.

If you haven't downloaded runtastic (free app) for your phone - it tracks you and logs into your MFP exercise for you recording calories and time! You can find it here on the apps tab

    Welcome!!! Its GREAT to have you join us. We can use this thread to post to each other every day. I've done 3 miles so far today. yesterday I did 9!!!

    Shread Diet - how much did you loose? I have the book and want to start either Mid May or June 1.

    I'm doing 6 miles a day on Hills for the most part (walking) sometimes I head down to the water for a break if my knees feel like they kneed it.

    My current goal - Vacation May 5th

    How about you, what's your goal?

    I did my last day of 30 DS and also got my 6 miles in. Just got the 300 abs to do and then I'm calling it a night. I will be weighing and measuring tomorrow for results of 30DS and am hoping to have lost inches.

    I am also thinking about starting JM body revolution tomorrow to help shake my body up and shift some fat :smile:

    Yay!! Glad to see we got some more folks to do the challenge with us!!! Got my 6 miles in!! I did a combo of walking/elliptical! I'm going to change it up. I was doing the 30 day shred too, but had to stop due to severe bronchitis. I'm going to start it up again though. Maybe tomorrow! I did notice some great results with it. Jillian is no joke! :smile:

    Hey! I didn't have an opportunity to do the 6 miles yesterday because all my brothers and their girlfriends returned home after 7 months so it got a little hectic in my house. Hopefully I will be able to make it up during the month though.

    I just jogged/walked 3 miles and I am walking to my friend's house later which is another 3.

    Did you get good results with 30 day shred? I always get a little bit bored of it half way through.

    Day 2 Ladies!!!

    Don't worry at anytime if you have to miss a day you can make it up by adding the miles into a few of the other days. April has 30 days so we'll all have 180 miles under our belts at the end.

    I know most likely I will miss April 26 & 27 as I'll be out of town so I plan to make those up before I go. If I can walk where I'm at I will, I think it'll be too darn hot.

    I'll check back in with everyone a little latter

    How much time does it take to walk 6 miles?

    2 hours at a comfortable 3mph. Some people walk at 4mph which would be 90 minutes

    just depends on if you walk, jog or run and if you're doing flat or hills

    here it doesn't matter how you decide to - you can walk 2xs daily at 3 miles each or 6xs daily 1 mile each.

    For me when I walk the hills it usually takes me 1 hr 15 min for 3 miles

    where as when I walk flat areas I walk 6 miles in 1 hr 30 mins

    Hope you'll join us!

    Yes cfbjj1124 don't worry about missing and look at the overall goal of 180. I know April 26th I won't be walking, and there's a chance we might stay through the 28th. So I'll be putting in the extra miles before for my bank! lol
