The November Walk Challenge starts very soon, 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 November. For those who are enjoying the wonderful cooler weather, walking or hiking outdoors might well continue to be a pleasant alternative to the DVDs. For those walkers who live where there is more rain, or perhaps snow, the DVDs are a tremendous help when it is impossible to get outside for a walk.

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 by various instructors. All of these many options count toward our miles, steps or minutes. However you get your walk in, or however you like to keep track of it come on in and join us! Post your miles, minutes, or steps that you have walked, however you did it... it is all good! In fact it is much more than 'good', it is quite awesome and wonderful o:) .

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, minutes, or steps 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. It is such an encouragement to read each others' posts.

If you find this challenge somewhere in the middle of the month, or even near the end, 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's 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 o:) 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... and maybe a jacket, as we begin to walk into November 2016!

Let us walk with thankful hearts <3 .

    Since I have to get some pounds off, I am going for 4 miles/day or 120 miles total. I am going to the Adirondacks for Thanksgiving so I should get some hiking miles in as well! Today, Leslie's 4 Fast Miles is in the queue! :laugh:

    Walk Strong Everyone! :bigsmile:

    This sounds like a great challenge for these increasingly colder and more sedentary months. Since I'm so bad at keeping my Fitbit charged, I'll set a time goal: 30 min/day, 5 days/week.

    November Goal: 660 total walking minutes

    Finally!! However I do hurt this morning. I did a lot of lifting big heavy pots. Digging in the garden trying to get rid of the chickweed. I didn't finish so hopefully we didn't get to much rain last night. I did get my new wagon put together. It is so much better, I only have to lift the planters a foot off the ground.

    Worked outside again today. I left some lighter tasks for today so my grandkids can play at them with me. I am sure it will be fun to load crushed rock in a Tonka truck and haul rocks to the edging around the house

    The stiffness and soreness is starting to go away. Did a lot of stretching yesterday and will again today. The weather is holding so will get some crushed rock moved. 2 big pots to move too. Then some bookworm to catch up on. Busy day.

    I really have to stop being polite to people when I am invited out for dinner. The last couple of dinner parties had 3 desserts each and everyone....everyone!!! Was so pushy. Today I think I am sort of back to normal. The headaches have gone away but my legs still hurt a bit.
