WELCOME to all walkers!
It is January, 2017, and time to start a new monthly challenge! The first one for 2017! So lets make January an extraordinarily awesome month while we enjoy the beginning of a brand new year, with so many possibilities and hope for a brand new start of a healthy year ahead for us all!
Crisp and cold and even snowy weather is definitely here for many of us depending where we live. Having Leslie's, or other walking DVDs, to pop in the player continues to be a great alternative to walking outdoors. Walking outdoors can still be an important part of fitness walking this month, when possible, for those who enjoy walking some miles or minutes walking in the snow or whatever the weather might be outside.
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 this 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 the first month of 2017! Can you believe it
. It is like we blinked and 2016 is gone and January is right there awaiting the turn of the calendar page... into a whole new year with new beginnings and possibilities!!
Let us start 2017 walking strong and with the determination that this will be our best year yet!
Blessings,

Hi everyone, I'm gearing up to increasing my walking. I've dipped in and out of Leslie Sansone in the past but aiming to do at least one dvd every other day if not more. Good luck everyone.5

Happy New Year to all. I've completed 45 minutes of walking.
Leslie Sansone 4 mile power walk (first 2 miles at 30 minutes)
Leslie Sansone Ultimate 5 day walk plan (1 mile at 15 minutes)

I'm in! I'd like to follow my Miracle Miles set but the workouts sometimes aggravate my back issues. My goal is to substitute the elliptical or another DVD - just NOT QUIT!
I'd like to lose about 20 pounds this year and I'm grateful to have found this group!5 -
Good morning and Happy new year everyone. I'm in. I really need to step it up this year. My DVD'S have been gathering dust, I really like to walk outside. But I need a little something extra and I am pretty sure that something is hiding in those DVD'S.6

Off to a good start! Miracle Miles 1 mile workout before we head to family celebration.4

Happy New Year Walkers! Welcome to our new walkers and new friends.
I just tried out my legs for the new year. The pain set in a mile 3 at the park. I slowed down and called it a day. For this month I am not going to set a goal. My goal is to get the legs healthy. I will just log my walks and see what I come up with at the end of the month.
3.58 miles walked today.3 -
I'm ready to get my legs in gear again. I'm not setting a goal just yet. I'm switched from my Jawbone Up24 tracker to an Apple Watch ( surprise Christmas present) and I'm trying to figure out the tracking options.
I'm hoping to work up to getting back into walking routine and moving up to step routines.1 -
January goal:
- 120 miles , 15 over 10,000 steps
- Leslie Sansone DVD twice the first week
- Weights,
- Balance
Yes, pretty ambitious I know. I have resources gathering dust.
- I have 8 Leslie Sansone DVD's gathering dust
- I have hand weights gathering dust.
- I have wrist weights that I wear when I walk
- I have a book on stretching, a book on walking off weight and a TOPS chapter to all draw on.
Balance: physically and mentally - I really want to take Yoga. I am going to research a beginner class close to home.
Jan 1 - 3.22 miles - nice walk outside.1 -

Get well soon.1 -
could someone please tell me which one of her tapes are for beginners? Senior very overweight. Thanks1

ClassyKaren you can download some of the walks for free rather than buy something you might not like or find too difficult. There's one in conjunction with the American heart association, which would be a good starting point. However you can modify all of them to what you are able to do.0

I would start with any of her 1 mile walks. Her 1 Mile Happy Walk is free on YouTube.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the group. I've been doing Leslie's videos from YouTube for about 3 weeks. My January goal is to get my walking in 5-6 days per week. Today I did 5k with a twist. I'm looking forward to a fun and productive month4

Hi I haven't been on much but need to get going and this sounds like a good place to start. I have her tapes and a new Fitbit Charge 2 so hopefully will get moving and losing.3

I got my Christmas wish! A Fitbit Blaze.
it is what I really needed to get motivated again.
My goal this month is
60 miles as well as 10,500 steps a day.
Weekends are the hardest to reach that step count. At work i easily get 8,000 steps in.
I need to up my miles to make it to my mile goal this month. Today I am planning on a 4 mile trail walk.
So far this month 3/60
1 mile trail
1 mile track

Not many posting. Hope it bucks up, I love reading how others are getting on, especially if they're doing really well.
I walked outside today for just over an hour and completed Monday's mile on the LS Ultimate 5 day walk plan.
Weather is taking a turn for the worse so will be focusing on LS for a few days by the look of it.

Today: 3 mile walk strong with 2lb weights and 1 mile happy walk.
I'm feeling good!3 -
Ok, I'm in 2. I love the LS tapes. I did them several times a week a year ago, and lost 3" in my waist. That was then...
Didja know that the public library usually had these tapes available for free? I usually pick up 2-3 at a time and switch off. My success was when I achieved the 3 mile video routine. I can't get my self there again, and hope to get support and motivation from you.3 -

So where do you live?
I'm in the UK. We're experiencing freezing temperatures so the prospect of going out in the evening when it's dark isn't inviting.
I know we're very lucky not to have the extreme weather other countries do but all the same it's too cold for me! Roll on March when the nights get lighter and even if it's cold I feel more optimistic.
I've completed 40 minutes to work and back and aiming for another mile of LS later.1
