    Hello everyone,
    Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. I have some queries with regards to my workout.

    What do you think is the better option:
    1. Incorporating strength training once my body gets comfortable with leslie's workout? That is when my flexibility and stamina is better OR

    2. I should begin strength training straightaway for weight loss? Somehow I find that bit daunting

    @AnnofB: Many thanks for sharing info on Hasfit. Checked their website. Looks promising !

    Hello! You are welcome!

    On adding strength training: do get comfortable with Leslie's aerobic workouts first, then add some resistance training or very light weights. Strength training can be daunting. I don't really like strength training, but I do it because it has so many healthy benefits. Just start slow and do what you can and you will progress. Leslie's workouts are not strenuous, so they should be a good starting point. Hope this helped!

    Hello all! I just realized I never came and posted here in February! :o The month flew by! I've been continuing my workouts almost every day though and did pretty well getting in 6 days of workouts each week. I've also been logging all of my food--good and bad no cheating. I've done a bit of strength training but really need to focus on working more of that into my workout schedule.

    For March, I'm going to continue more of the same. Planning workouts 6 days of the week and logging my food correctly/completely. I'll try to work in 2-3 strength training workouts in there as well.

    March 1: 6 Miles ~ 5 Boosted Miles + 1 Mile AM Walk + 30 min strength HASfit arms w/dumbbells
    March 2: 5 Mile Advanced Walk + 15 min strength HASfit legs
    March 3: 5 Miles ~ 4 Mile Super Walk + 1 Mile Heart Healthy Walk (new on YouTube!) + 20 min HASfit biceps w/weights
    March 4: 5 Miles ~ 3 Fast Miles + 2 Miracle Miles + 15 min strength HASfit legs
    March 5: 5 Fat Burning Miles + 30 min HASfit arms w/dumbbells

    Glad you are back. I hope that lesson didn't result in an injury.

    We had a beautiful day here in Michigan yesterday. Got a couple of friends to walk in the park. Well, there was more standing and talking than walking but I managed to sneak in a special Apple Watch award anyway. The weather this week is a true Michigan week where we'll see most of the season in one week. Rain and snow in my forecast. :)

    Miles tracked: 21.71 so far.
    Halfway to my Apple Watch goal for the month.
    Earned special "international women's day" award from Apple Watch.

    I managed 8 minutes in the bike trainer this AM. It was my first time and I hope to double that time tomorrow.

    Hello everyone,

    Finding it difficult to exercise on weekends. How many days a week should I do these workouts? I would appreciate it if any of you can help me make a weekly schedule for every day of the week.

    Thank you,
    Monika

    You may want to look into the 2018 Walk at Home New year Challenge. If I remember right the program was for 6 weeks and had weekends off. Monday through Friday was a different milage to walk for.
