February (2017)

WELCOME to all walkers!

It is already February, 2017, and time to start a new monthly challenge! The second one for this year! So lets make February an extraordinarily awesome month while we continue through 2017. There are still so many possibilities and opportunities for a healthy year, no matter what January turned out to be for each of us! Start overs are available each and every day, as well as each month here on the Monthly Challenge.

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 :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.
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!

So now... let us lace up those walking shoes and get some water... as we begin to walk into February of 2017! Come join us as we turn yet another calendar page... and walk our way to a Happy and Healthy February.

Let us continue through 2017 by walking strong, and with the determination!

Blessings,
texasgardnr :flowerforyou:

    Going to do what I can this month, no set number of miles. A pal here introduced me to a webiste called hasfit that has free workouts. You can do a 30 day thing too, a different workout each day. They encourage you to take 2 rest days each week. So far I have really enjoyed them. But, I'm certainly NOT deserting Leslie!

    2/2 Rest Day
    2/3 4 Mile Super Challenge

    Hope you all had a good Thursday.

    Keep Walking!!!

    I was annoyed because I was closer than I thought. I should have walked while DH was dead to the world! :sad: Oh well, it is a new month and I am going for it!!!! How in the world do you do those Hasfit workouts!!! Coach Koazack about killed me!!! I am doing Leslie's Firm 30 for a month before I try him again!!! You are one tough cookie AnnofB! :drinker:

    Lilymay Enjoy the US! I assume you are visiting a warm part of the country :+1: The rest of us might as well be in Canada! :laugh:

    Weights are very good for you bgoddess. Even if you do not lose any pounds, using weights, you will look like you did and your clothes will get very big on you! They are miracle pieces of equipment!

    Take it slow Pinky. There is nothing wrong with 2-3 miles a day-even for you! :wink:

    Walk Strong Everyone! :bigsmile:

    Thank you Zichab. Yes it is warming up here. Apparently it was cooler than normal. You can tell who is Canadian here, they run around in t-shirts and shorts and everyone else has a coat on .... lol.

    I have been lazy for months. I want to at least do three miles once a week, plus get in 6,000 steps most days.

    No worries-it happens to all of us at one time or another. You have set a reasonable goal and that it the first step to getting back on track. Go for it! :smiley:

    Walk Strong Everyone! :bigsmile:

    With that attitude, you are going to reach your goal! Off to a great start this month already.

    That 21 minute workout was supposed to be a 30 minute one, but I could not do it. It was too tough for me, ha-ha. Coach Koazack is tough, but a what a great attitude. You can tell he really loves coaching.

    Have a great day,
    Ann
