3 Mile American Heart Assoc Walk.
My legs are achy but that is not new. The stockings seem to help a bit. Until yesterday I had no idea I missed cardio. My legs hurt really bad after golf but while golfing I rarely notice it and I think that is because my adrenaline is pumping and I am in my "happy place." After doing 2 Leslie Miles yesterday I went straight into yoga and I was surprised to find that having warm muscles helped me flow better with the yoga. A pleasant surprise. So I could not wait to get some more cardio in this morning before yoga. LOL
I am suppose to golf Sat. and Sun. I do yoga every morning to help with my chronic pain and stretch these muscles. It has improved my golf swing. I am now hitting 190 yard drives. Woot!
I am going to attempt on non golf days try and walk with Leslie. The last 2 days I have done the videos barefoot and on carpet verses shoes and tile floor. I already notice a big difference. I think stomping on my kitchen floor for many years has not helped.
Thank you ladies for always supporting me!
Walk strong!
That is great news! Leslie to the rescue, huh?
When I do yoga, I do it before my cardio workouts. Now I can see that it would make a big difference when it comes to getting into the poses already really nicely warmed up. Good idea.
You also bring up a good point about tile verses carpet. All the years I've been doing video's and dvd's, I've marched on carpet. We do have wood floors now, but I workout on a carpet runner I drag into the living room from my hall. I do know that once DH and I went for a walk on a gravel walking trail and my feet hurt. I knew it wasn't that I was out of shape because, heck I walk with Leslie at least 5 times a week for years. I finally realized it was the different surface. Makes a huge difference.
So glad you are making it work for you. And wow, what a swing! Awesome!

@AnnofB, That Jessica Smith's Walk that you did almost makes me want to get her DVD. It sure does seem like it was an intensely good workout.
:flowerforyou:
Nice walking, Mary.
That Jessica Smith workout is on her Walk On 6 Mile Mix. It's Mile 5, the total body tone up mile. It might be out there on youtube. I've got quite a few of her dvd's now. I love that her Mom is in most of them too. 2 -

@PinkyPan1, The few times that I had attempted to do a walk on a hard floor long time ago was not kind to my feet and legs at all. After that I have always used sturdy shoes on carpet. That has worked well all these years. Enjoy your golfing this weekend . And take care 
@AnnofB, thanks for the information. That is cool that her mother is in the videos also. That makes me like Jessica Smith's workout DVDs already . I'll have to check YouTube to see how her DVDs are. Good idea.
July 28: 50 minutes: mix & match Walk Blasters: Light Walk, Upper Body Blast, Lower Body Blast, Tummy Trimmer Walk, and the Flexibility Walk.This was one of the preset workouts.
Walk Happy,

@Deeder522, Way to go hitting the fitness markers on your Apple watch!! One of my DILs has one and she loves the fitness function on it also.
Ready or not here comes August!
You are so right that July just flew by... around here it was with the unrelenting heat and hardly any rain. Looking to another scorcher month for August, so I am so grateful for the indoor walking that we all do together.

Well, I did not reach my goal, but I have had a lot of play time with my granddaughter in the tent, on the floor, in the boat and painting so it is OK! I have also become a play doh ninja!! :laugh: I'll work on my NY milage next month as I am not sure where I am at the moment!
Walk Strong Everyone! :bigsmile:2 -
Great walking y'all, so many miles, minutes, and steps... and hitting golf balls, doing yard work, and climbing/ crawling in and out of boats and tents... lots of movement in July!
@zichab, You are getting lots of exercise in fun ways! My granddaughter, now eleven, still loves to play with the play-doh. Sometimes she makes all sort of food to "eat", and so I go way over calories on play-doh days :laugh: . I know this kind of play will end too soon for me, so I am enjoying every "bite" she makes for us.
You'll get back to walking to New York in next month .
