30.5/85 . I complete 4.5 more miles at the park today. I am hurting so I will play tomorrow by ear. My back is not handling the return of power walking outdoors nor are my shins. I tried to pace myself but my legs just take over.
Take care PinkyPan, and I hope that your back and shins are doing better tomorrow. Those legs need to listen to you better

34.5/85 I complete Just Walk Power Walk Classic 2 miles twice this morning. I was not sure if I could do more than 2 miles and then hit repeat. Done and sore.0

I just stumbled upon this group and decided to google Leslie Sansone. She has a couple of YouTube videos so I tried one out this morning Walk Indoors! Intervals... It kicked my butt and it was only 15 minutes. Of course I don't normally throw in all the extras when I am walking. Walking is one of my only exercises that I try to stick to and it is easier for me. Weighing 335.8 lbs. as of this morning, does not make exercise easy but I am committed to getting healthier and losing this weight!0

Any suggestions for a beginner?0

7 miles today. Today I listened toZen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, by Robert Pirsig
Excerpt: One of them, a girl with strong-lensed glasses, wanted to write a five-hundred-word essay about the United States.
He suggested without disparagement that she narrow it down to just Bozeman.
... She had tried and tried but she just couldn’t think of anything to say.
... He told her, "Narrow it down to the front of one building on the main street of Bozeman. The Opera House. Start with the upper left-hand brick."
She came in the next class with a puzzled look and handed him a five- thousand-word essay on the front of the Opera House on the main street of Bozeman, Montana. "I sat in the hamburger stand across the street," she said, "and started writing about the first brick, and the second brick, and then by the third brick it all started to come and I couldn’t stop. They thought I was crazy, and they kept kidding me, but here it all is."0 -
Hi Carrie, The best advice I can give you is to get the bookcarrie1829 wrote: »Any suggestions for a beginner?
Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results, by Stephen Guise. Read the book and start with small mini challenges. Forget about loosing the weight fast. I'm sure you have tried that before, and it didn't work out, like it didn't work out for the rest of us. Instead get little better day by day. Small challenges, small wins, that is the way to lasting success.

Welcome to the February 2015 Walk Challenge, carrie. My advise would be to start easy and work your way up to more miles and faster, more challenging walks over time, whether with a Leslie walk or walks outside. You will increase in energy and endurance and strength over time. Every step and every minute will get you that much closer to your health and fitness goals. You can do this.

Hi Carrie,
I started at a very unfit 235 lbs so I know how hard it is to get started. I thought for sure I'd have a heart attack, but I am still here so trust me, you will be fine.
You did the 1 mile walk.
It takes a while to get the movements to come naturally, but they will-just keep plugging away at it.
Once you get one mile down, try to play the mile over again and see how far you can get. Once you can do 2 miles comfortably (basically 30 minutes), I'd do the START! Walking at Home American Heart Association-3 mile walk. The first time (47 minutes!), you will be sure you are going to die-but again-you don't! :laugh: I stayed on that one for a long time and did it every other day until my weight was down far enough that I thought I could handle more. You will know when that is.
The key when you weigh a lot and are working your way down is to be kind to your knees, feet, and back and I found Leslie was the only one who did that for me, yet challenged me at the same time. We will cheer you on and suggest great titles for you as you drop the pounds and become more fit. Alex's suggestion is a great book to start small and build. You can do this and you will be shocked at how great you will feel after a few months! Just Walk Walk Walk Walk Walk as Leslie says! 0 -
Welcome carrie1829 15 minutes is a great start. Look for a dvd/program that is geared for a beginner. I like the Walk at Home 5 Day Slim Down dvd because it's 5 different walks, supposed to be one for each morning of the workweek. The first 4 are 14 minute miles and the 5th is a 12 minute mile.carrie1829 wrote: »Any suggestions for a beginner?

As you all might have seen I am new to this group well today I did my new DVD walk to part music I was going to stop at the 2 mile point this was kicking my butt, lol. I actually took the DVD out and walk around a little to cool down put the DVD back into so it would reset to the beginning but it pick up right were I left off so I continued and made it through the 3 mile dance/walk. Leslie is great it is fun and it does go by quick. I need that push I never push my self. I am pleased with myself. Lol. Hope I don't break my arm patting my shoulder. Haha.

7 miles today also; 90 miles in 10 days. Well I have 82 miles left in N Carolina. Today I listened toZen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, by Robert Pirsig
Excerpt: He never reached the mountain. After the third day he gave up, exhausted, and the pilgrimage went on without him. He said he had the physical strength but that physical strength wasn’t enough. He had the intellectual motivation but that wasn’t enough either. He didn’t think he had been arrogant but thought that he was undertaking the pilgrimage to broaden his experience, to gain understanding for himself. He was trying to use the mountain for his own purposes and the pilgrimage too. He regarded himself as the fixed entity, not the pilgrimage or the mountain, and thus wasn’t ready for it. He speculated that the other pilgrims, the ones who reached the mountain, probably sensed the holiness of the mountain so intensely that each footstep was an act of devotion, an act of submission to this holiness. The holiness of the mountain infused into their own spirits enabled them to endure far more than anything he, with his greater physical strength, could take.0
