Leslie Sansone Walking Challenge

Do any of you ladies know if Leslie Sansone does a lighter intensity walk? My doctor is restricting my exercise for a few weeks due to a strained back but said I can do some light walking.

Hey, I'm not sure which dvd you have already, but usually on the back or the insert of them it has the website of her other dvd's or you can always look on amazon or google it also. But I know she has a few different walking dvd's, some are for kids and families, some are for the elderly, she has beginners walking dvd's... not really sure which would be considered lower intensity though.... I'm sure you could modify any of her dvd's though... when she is doing knee lifts or kicks just do side steps or lift a little off the ground but not all the way? Just check with your Dr first.

I have the 1,2,3,4,5 mile Leslie Sansone video. When I first started doing it I did a mile every day for a week and ended up sore. I'd like to try 1/2 mile for a week then graduate to a mile, then 1-1/2 miles, the 2, because I have over 100 lbs to lose and serious joint problems and back problems and am always waylaid with pain when I exercise. That's 19 miles til the end of August starting today, and skipping the day I am on vacation at Waterworld in Adventureland in Des Moines, IA.

I am so inspired!

that's a good safe way to start walking... just work your way up. Don't want any injuries and if you start with too many you could not only get hurt, but start feeling less inspired to do it. I love these walking dvd's. I didn't do any walking today, but I'll definitely be doing it tomorrow. We're all going to reach our August goal and be so proud we did it! Then we can set a new goal for September!

Welcome to the new walkers! This challenge is a great way to get motivated to walk! I'm hoping to reach my goal for August and increase my goal for September.

Ok,it's been slow going but I've done 9 out of my goal of 40 miles. I won't hit the 40 miles because of my injury but I am going to do what I can! :ohwell: :happy:

as long as you stick with it and complete as many as possible... you need to heal your body, so take it easy.

I did the 2 mile walk/jog today... I will have to update my ticker tomorrow though because I am on a different computer and it won't let me go in to change it without recreating it.

August Goal: 60 miles
Miles so far: 23
Miles to go: 37

I did 7 miles today! I did the 5 mile fat burner dvd & then the 2 mile intervals. Needed to catch up for not walking yesterday... Now I'm at the half way mark... 30 miles down, 30 miles to go! We can do this!

August Goal: 60 miles
Miles so far: 30
Miles to go: 30
