WELCOME to all walkers!
It is January, 2015, and time to start a new monthly challenge! The first one for 2015! So lets make January an extraordinarily awesome month while we enjoy the beginning of a brand new year, with so many possibilities and hope for a brand new start of a healthy year ahead for us all!
Crisp and cold and even snowy weather is definitely here for many of us depending where we live. Having Leslie's, or other walking DVDs, to pop in the player continues to be a great alternative to walking outdoors. Walking outdoors can still be an important part of fitness walking this month, when possible, for those who enjoy walking some miles or minutes outside.
This group is open to any and all walkers. The majority of us use Leslie Sansone Walk At Home DVD workouts, as well as those great walks or hikes outside on the trails or pathways that are available to us, or a walk in our neighborhood, and on the treadmill, as well as other Walking DVDs. All of these many options count toward our miles and minutes. However you get your walk in, come on in and join us! Post your miles or minutes that you have walked, however you did it... it is all good :drinker:!
We are a happy, supportive group, and I promise that this challenge will motivate, challenge, as well as inspire you!
Set your goal for how many miles or minutes that you want to walk, indoors or out, this month. Post your results daily, weekly, or however you like.
If you find this challenge in the middle of the month it doesn't matter which day of the month that you join in. Just set your goals to reflect what you want to walk for the remaining days in the month. You are always welcome!
So tie up those walking shoes and get some water, and let's start walking
!
It is always fun to read which DVD, whether Leslie or another instructor, that you used. Or whatever form your walk took, whether outdoors or on the treadmill or anything in between. We all could use some new inspiration sometimes, or inquiring minds sometimes just want to know. So please share if you would care to
.
Come on in and let us start walking the January 2015 Monthly Challenge together. I am grateful for each one of our precious walkers who continued to inspire and motivate mile by mile and step by step during 2014, and I also look forward to an awesome 2015 together!

I am 60 years old and I have to do this this year. I started last year and quit. I am tired of being a quitter. I need to lose at least 50 pounds. Even 10 would make me feel better about myself. Hoping to keep up with it this time and start 2015 out right. I am going to try for at least 15 minutes a day. I know it isn't much but it is a start. I also have a gazelle and will probably use that too. Thanks for doing this.

Just joined the group. I'm 57 and want to lose 40 lbs. Just completed 5 mega miles. Motivation is my issue. Need team support.
Happy New Year, everyone.0 -
I'm new to this post but I do have several of the dvds. I did use them in the past but always stop after a couple of months. Please help me get on track. I'm 53 and need to lose at least 40 pounds (menopause is killing me). I have to start off slow due to an illness . I will start with 1 mile today and my goal will be to do at least 8 miles in my 1st 7 days.0

Hi shauser61,
Welcome. Just take your time and don't let your goal of losing 40 lbs overwhelm you. Walking is great for dealing with stress that menopause brings. Ask me how I know! Ha-ha. Just do what you can-as Leslie says, every step counts. Got a good group of supporters here so join in and keep walking!

Hi Everyone. I discovered this group a while back but was never very active. I recently purchased 2 of Leslie's DVD's (3 Mega Miles- with the band, Belly Blasting Walk) and would like to alternate and do them 6 times a week. Can't wait to see my progress. Going for at least 50 miles this month.
