March (2018)

WELCOME to all walkers!

It is already March, 2018, and time to start a new monthly challenge! Spring is right around the corner, if not here already for some walkers! So let's make March another extraordinarily awesome month while we continue to walk each month together. There are still so many possibilities and opportunities for a healthy year, no matter what the first two months may have brought us so far this year.

Start overs are awaiting us each and every day, as well as every month, as we start yet another Monthly Challenge.

Are the trees beginning to leaf out, or are tiny flowers or bulbs peeking up through the snow for you, because March is coming in like a lamb? Then getting outdoors to walk your miles will ensure that we won't miss any spring flowers or the beautiful budding trees as they begin to announce spring is finally here. Walking outdoors is an important part of fitness walking, when possible, for those who enjoy walking some miles or minutes outdoors when possible.

Or if March is coming in like a lion where you live then having Leslie's, or other walking DVDs, to pop in the player continues to be a great alternative to walking outdoors.

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, or on the treadmill, as well as other Walking DVDs by other awesome instructors. We now have many opportunities to change it up when we use DVDs by other instructors. Please post when you discover other great DVDs so that we all can benefit from them also.

All of these many options count toward our miles and minutes. However you get your walk in. 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. Or whatever your goal is this month, if it not in "miles/ minutes". 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 goal 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 .

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 always awaiting the opportunity to welcome newcomers to this month's Walk Challenge!

And now, no more chit chatting.... let us lace up those walking shoes and get some water... as we begin to walk into March! Can you believe it . It seems like we blinked and winter is almost gone away. Even if you have a snowflake or two still on your lashes

Please join us as we turn yet another calendar page... and walk our way to a Happy and Healthy March.

Let's walk strong, and with the determination, as well as a smile on our faces !
