[/quote]Dance is the answer. It is so much more fun! Pick a duration or step goal instead of distance. Find the tunes, videos or class you love and dance, Dance, DANCE!
If you'd told me 3 years ago that I'd be taking three 2 hr dance classes a week:noway: , I'd have laughed myself right off the couch...:laugh:

Sophia and I went for our morning walk today..45 min and 401 calories burned.Thinking about going for a 2nd round later tonight!
How did you do that? I did 46 minutes at a 3.6 pace & it gave me less than 300 calorie credit. I push my 3yo 30lb son in his stroller while I walk. Can I get extra credit for that? Which entry would you use on MFP?0 -
I got in a little more than 5 miles - in 95 degree heat no less. Gotta love the ladies I walk with - :smooched: Today is much cooler - will see how much further we can go.

I walk FAST,and it was about 75-80 degrees,I have lots of hills in my neighborhood.I also don't stop my HRM till my heart rate is at 110,So It was about 50-55 min.I try to keep my pace going up hills also. 0 -

Do you have a HRM?? Before I had one I would use the MFP calorie burn and it was WAY WAY under what I REALLY was burning.Mine has a chest strap and is really easy to use!0 -

No, I don't. Does it track calories burned as well? Very new to this. DH added Sketchers fit tracker to my phone. It tracks distance via GPS and tracks time. It gives me an average MPH & shows roughly the same amt of calories burned. But it would make sense that actual heartrate would determine calorie burn.
Once you determine your calorie burn, do you just eat that many extra calories during the day? Can you manually add calorie burn to MFP?0 -
I did 5 miles today - I'd say around half of it I upped my pace and knocked 10 mins off my time in both directions. By the time I got into town, it was too busy to walk quickly so I just wandered along looking in shop windows at clothes there's no point in buying as they are going to be too big for me in 2 months!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Everyone seems to be getting off to a flying start!
Mimi and Mary, glad to see you here! Good luck!
Hope you all have a great day!0 -

Yup it tracks calories burned I got it from Sports Authorty it was $100 it is a Sports Line.If you do decide to get one they have cheaper ones at Wal-mart and Target,or really expencive ones like the BodyBug.I Highly suggest getting one,but I would get one with a chest strap.I think the also have them that count your steps along with calories burned.You can go to your exersise diary and if you don't see what you are looking for you can go to "add exersise"then type in waht you are looking for if it does not come up you can go to the bottom and it say's "add an exersise to database" type in what you did and for how long and how many calories burned,it will save it to you diary and you can use it again.I do this alot because I can't find what I am looking for.Today I put in "Pushing stoller with 20 pound toddler".Hope this helps 0 -

Night shift has advantages.
Sure it's 02:48 by the time you park the car at home BUT: walking is such a charm.
Brisk breeze, no distractions, no drivers potentially running you down, and when there is a car coming, you hear it for miles!
Best of all?
The stars!
It's awesome.
Have a nice day peeps. 0 -
Again, 15 minutes today.0

40 minutes first thing this morning. I got up early to take Suzie Q for a long walk, because today she is spending the day at the doggie spa getting her summer do. It was so pleasant; I should do this more often. And an added bonus - the sunflowers are blooming!0

I am going to set up my tracker now, love this one. Fits my goals perfectly! Check back in soon!

Ok so I got my ticker set up for the month, and got a 2 mile walk in yesterday, going to do the same today while little one is down for a nap! Hope everyone has a succesful weekend!0

3.4 miles for me today but faster.
I went back to my original walk that I did when I started logging here:
3.4 miles round the park in 61 minutes burned 296 calories. Today, I did it in 53 minutes and burned 342 calories.
I've decided that I want to try to get up to 4 miles an hour but not sure how long that will take.0 -

Go to your signature page and the web address for your ticker is copied there. Go to that address and click on Update Ticker and put in your pin and plug in your miles and then click next. Good luck!0 -
A beautiful weekend to all!

The best way to up your speed is to shorten your stride and punp your arms to propel you. It feels a bit silly at first, but it really makes you move!
I finally got another walk in today - 6 miles.
