    Hello purlycurls,

    I use DVD's mostly. But you an find a ton of Jessica Smith workouts on youtube. And Leslie Sansone is another favorite of mine. Great walking workouts. Many of hers are on youtube as well.

    Have a great day,
    Ann

    Well @AnnofB I'm converted! Just done a 30 min Jessica Smith full power walking workout and it was great! Low impact but fairly high intensity - perfect! Thanks for the recommendation :smile:

    I felt so empowered after that I put on a 10 min HIIT abs workout on YouTube and surprised myself by completing it (and I have terrible stomach muscles following 3 C-Sections). Big thanks to this Challenge/Thread for inspiring us all to get moving and making small changes have massive impacts :smiley:

    @mbaby86 I think the body slows us down when we are working too hard, I'm sure you will turn the corner again, the important thing is to keep at it ..

    your doing great, you have walked 69.5 miles this month, some days high some low, keep up the good work :)

    24th .. no miles for me today .. I decided today was the day that I worked till I found my purse ... and I found it :D

    8 hours of work gutting every corner .. 2 more rooms completely cleaned and gutted out and the reward of my purse (which had fallen into a box by accident). I've no idea what I will use to motivate me to clean the rest of the house :-/

    I shall get back on the walking path tomorrow :)

    good work everyone ... the end of this challenge is within touching distance!!!! we may even make it by Sunday evening :) if not then certainly by Monday :)

    If anyone has an idea for another challenge please let me know :)

    @Slimpossible007 Glad you found your purse. You certainly got a lot of cleaning done in the process so every cloud has a silver lining.
