Leslie Sansone October 2016 Walk Challenge

WELCOME to all walkers!
The October Walk Challenge starts tomorrow, so now is the time to be thinking about our new individual monthly challenge goals!
Having Leslie's, or other walking DVDs, to pop in the player can be a great addition to walking outdoors in the crisp cool days of Autumn. For those who are enjoying the onset of cooler weather, walking or hiking outdoors might well continue to be a pleasant alternative to the DVDs. For those of us who live where 90+ degrees could easily remain for another month or so, the DVDs are awesome when it is impossible to get up with the sun to squeeze in a quick, cooler walk early in the morning.
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 personal goal for how many miles or minutes that you want to walk, indoors or out, this month. This is your own personal goal
. Post your results daily, weekly, or whenever you like. It is such an encouragement to read each others' posts.
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 !
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
. (pretty please 
)
Come on in, and let us start walking the Monthly Walk Challenge together. I know that I say this each month but 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.
I know that we are all excited to see our long time faithful walking friends
join us for yet another amazing month together, and we are awaiting the opportunity to welcome newcomers to this month's Walk Challenge!
And now... let us lace up those walking shoes and get some water... as we begin to walk into October 2016!
mmmm .... this is also the month when we can enjoy all things 'pumpkin' ..... as well as all of the other wonderful sights, scents, and yummy tastes of autumn
Walk happy

New to the group (joined a few weeks ago) first monthly challenge. Am I supposed to separate the mileages per day by DVD or added all together and just per day total?
Monthly Goals:
- 100 miles
- Five days 10,000 steps
- 100oz water (usually get daily, this reminder will help)
- Find a job (hopefully)5 -
Hi Everyone, I am in! I did well with my outside walks, my knee is still an issue but I seriously need to get back to my routine now that it is getting cooler. I miss my workouts but every time I do them I am in pain. There has to be an easier way! Oh well, oh we go! Happy walking!

Since I averaged 3.9 miles last month, I am changing my goal to 3.5 miles/day or 105.5 for the month. I have a couple of conferences this month, which might kill my miles, but I am going for 3.5!!!
MsValerieAnne You can track your miles any way you want. Some people track only Leslie miles, some do not use Leslie and track another program's miles, some use their activity trackers, some only enter their aerobic walks, some enter in steps etc. Since everyone may have different goals (i.e. weight loss, increasing strength, maintaining cardio vascular health etc.) we set and track our miles to meet whatever our goals might be. I know this is kind of a non-answer type answer :laugh:, but it is how everyone seems to do it.
October Goal- 3.5 miles/day or 105.5 miles/month

I'm backing off my miles just a tiny bit, down to 90 miles.
Goal of 2 days at the gym and 1-2 workouts at home. Logging the food that I eat as well.
I've had a few meetings with a nutritionalist which has helped me be more mindful of what I'm grabbing.
I'm think about dusting off my step and getting in some miles with step aerobics again.1 -

Good morning everyone, just found out about the group this morning. Better a little late than never. Excited to have a great group of people in my corner striving for the same goal: Get healthier, in shape and lose weight. I love having someone going through the same sweat and tears as I am because you all truly understand the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of this journey. Let me stop rambling on and everyone have a great day.
My monthly goals are:Work out a minimum of 5 days/week
Walk 3 miles/day for a total of 84 miles for the month (or more)
Walk 10K steps at minimum 5 days/week = 50K week
Last but no least and my BIGGEST challenge is to drink 64 oz of water/day....2 -

MI is so wonderful for walks at this time of year. Cool, bit not COLD, warm, but not HOT and the fall smells from the trees are better than Yankee Candles! I
fall!

Okay, now that I have been with MFP for 23 days and have gone overboard on what is realistic for me, I am ready to set my goals for October. I have been trying to walk more and faster than I should be for my health, emotional and physical. So I am only putting down approximates in my exercise log (mph etc.) because I am actually only going to really look at my steps/day. I think just looking at increasing my steps is a major improvement. And I am going to incorporate some dancing into my days. I used to ballroom dance and miss it very much. That will increase my steps.
I am so happy for those who are able to keep track of individual exercises and make more specific goals. You are doing great and I am so happy that this works for you. Encouragement, encouragement to all! Keep it up!
October goal: average of 5,750 steps per day (I am working toward 10,000 eventually - maybe in a few months)3 -

Please do not over-do Galaians, as we all started on MFP because we needed to improve our health and we will all tell you that this did not happen in 23 days. :noway: Everyone here started with small steps and worked up to many miles and you will too. It is very smart to work on increasing your steps each day and to limit your sitting. Leslie says "beginners burn a lot of calories because the body is getting used to all the new movement," so you will be getting fitter each day and you will be surprised how much your stamina increases day by day. Enjoy your "stepping."
Step & Walk Strong Everyone! :bigsmile:

I really like the cooler weather, but I did not expect to come home to snow!!! We have an early snow storm blanketing much of the province of Saskatchewan. Sooo..... we won't be walking out there for a couple days, I have to unpack my suitcase and do laundry and I have a house guest until the roads are better for travelling on.
Goal for October - get ready for curling!!!
- 120 miles
- 15 days over 10,000 steps
- Control, control, control!!!
Oct 1 - 4.09 miles
Oct 2 - 2.2 miles - on the ferry and heading for home
Oct 3 - 1.22 miles - not enough stops and walks
Oct 4 - 3.2 miles - got in more walking today
Oct 5 - 2.5 miles - and finally home - Yeah
WELCOME to all the new people, it is great to have you aboard. Enjoy!0 -
