WELCOME to all walkers!

The December 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 cold and snowy days of December. For those who are enjoying the cold winter weather, walking or hiking outdoors might well continue to be a pleasant alternative on those bright sunny winter days to the DVDs. For those of us who live where there is more rain and snow than sun, 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. 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 :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 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 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. And especially for all the walkers who have kept this challenge active and awesome during this past year.

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... as we begin to walk into the last month of 2016! Can you believe it :o . It is like we blinked and December is right there awaiting the turn of the calendar page.

Let us finish 2016 strong while walking like we mean it!

    I hope you feel better soon Lilymay. We all eat things we know we shouldn't from time to time. Don't beat yourself up.. just get back in the saddle... I bet you are already eating in a healthy way now. As much as you walk, no harm done I bet.

    Well today it was beautiful in SC, sunny and in the low 60's so I took a walk, then i came back and rallied my mother and brother and dogs can't forget them, we did a very short walk but we enjoyed it and the dogs slept well after that. Non of them are used to walking. I on the other hand was happy just to be outside doing something. :)

    -31 C with the windchill this morning. I now have sore throat from my trip to the city yesterday. So now I wonder if the doctor will clean out my ears today? Oh well, bundle up and lets get at it.
