WELCOME to all walkers!

May is right around the corner.... in fact in just a few days! And time to start a another new monthly challenge! Surely beautiful flowers and spring are finally here! You know.... April showers bringing all of those May flowers that we mentioned last month. Hopefully we shall have some extra sunshine to brighten our days, as well as our outdoor walks B)

Having Leslie's, or other walking DVDs, to pop in the player continues to be a great alternative to walking outdoors. Because of the warmer weather walking or hiking outdoors will be a pleasant alternative to the DVDs for those who enjoy getting their miles or minutes outdoors. Especially after the long winter or extra rain we just had.

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!

We are a happy, supportive group, and I promise that joining this walk 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. This is your own personal goal :star:. Post your results daily, weekly, or whenever 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 if you are new to the group please feel free to start today so that by the end of the month you will be that much closer to your health goals. It is never too late to join in

Tie up those walking shoes and get some water, and let's start walking :smile: !

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 :p . (pretty please ;) )

Come on in and let us start walking the Monthly Walk Challenge together. I am truly grateful for each one of our precious walkers who continue to inspire and motivate mile by mile, and step by step, each month.

And now... let us lace up those walking shoes and get our water... and we will begin to walk into May of 2015!

    I'm in for May. Ready to rock and roll! I focused on strength in April. I think it's time to switch things up and commit to doing both each week.

    "Keep walking, keep walking!" Gotta love Leslie! o:)

    I've been walking to Leslies Party Hits a lot lately. In May I want to burn over 500 calories each day using my fitbit and Leslies walks when needed.

    I'm in for May, especially now that this dreadful semester is over and I have a much lighter spring load. I am not sure what goal to set though, so I am just going to say 100 and be surprised if I walk over it!

    May 100 miles :bigsmile:

    Hey gals! My challenge is to walk 100 miles this month, indoors and/or outdoors. I currently walk at least 30/minutes indoors during the work week. I take two 15-minute walks at work plus take my two dogs for a 20-minute jaunt around the neighborhood after work, weather-permitting. I think I'm going to start adding in a short Leslie DVD in the mornings too. (Some mornings it is just nice to lay in bed while my husband is getting ready, but exercising in the AM does help me to be more alert at work.)

    I'm aiming for 30 min 3x a week, which is a lot for me! I abhor exercise, but I let my weight go over the last 9 mos or so, and I can't get into my summer clothes. That's a problem.

    May 1:

    3 DVD miles.

    0 outdoor minutes.

    0 minutes "other" kinds of exercise, including strength.

    I am going to aim for 50 miles this month. I know I will be spending a lot of time in front of the computer because I am trying to finish up an online class but I will use my pedometer on my phone and track every step. It may be Leslie dvds, outside walks, or just walking around in general. But anyway this month every step will count toward my goal.

    2.2 miles on 05/01/15
    1.8 miles on 05/02/15

    Total 4/50

    I am new here (just joined this group about 5 minutes ago), but not new to the Walk at Home program. I am going to join right in the May Challenge and shoot for 100 miles. I already have 12 via Leslie's Just Walk, Walk Away Your Waistline, and a couple of the 1 mile FB videos she has posted. Best wishes everyone!
