    You all are doing so great!!!!

    As a general question - because I'm getting asked this alot - on this site - when you log your activity for the WAH DVD's and such - how are you logging it? I generally log mine as the miles walked at a brisk pace.

    I will be getting my *kitten* into gear tomorrow (Tuesday). My husband has been home sick last week - and with the holiday weekend, well, I"ve been a terrible slacker and supporter here.

    Keep up the awesome work!!!!!

    Also - to anyone doing her amp up thing - is there ANY place on her site or any site, for that matter, that explains what the heck the extra exercises are!?!!?!?!?!

    Supermans? Planks?

    Hey Everyone,
    I just wanted to drop in and recommend one of my absolute favourite workouts that fits right in with this September Challenge:

    Chris Freytag's Walking Cardio Shape Up :heart:
    you can find it on exercisetv.tv

    It's 45mins including warm up and cool down. You do intervals of Leslie-style cardio alternating with Jillian-style strength exercises.
    In fact, if you're ready to kick it up a notch from Leslie, but find Jillian too high impact, then this workout may be perfect for you.

    If you're not familiar with Chris Freytag, she's a very encouraging and pleasant instructor but not in a perky, annoying way.
    I plan to use this workout 2-3x/week this month along with Leslie's 4 Mile Super Challenge on alternate days.

    happy exercising! :flowerforyou:

    I google them. Since I am posting everyday what the challenges are I have been trying to post a link to a video or photo showing you what it is.

    I agree I would log it as brisk pace 4.0 mph cause that is equal to walking a mile in 15 minutes. I have hrm so I use that instead. And same as Courtney here if Im not sure of the mini challenge exercise I google to get pic, but luckily I have done some strength training in the past so most I am familiar with. Everyone keep up the good work!! :D

    Day 3 of WAH challenge...Completed 4 Really Big Miles, and repeated the 4th mile with the resistance band for my 5th mile. Completed 50 bent rows, attempted the planks....didn't quite get 5 minutes, more like 2, but considering I haven't been able to do them AT ALL since like Middle School...still a challenge!!!

    Mini Challenge: Done! I only did 2 minutes of planks. I could only manage to hold plank position for about 25 seconds at a time. I did all of the forward bent rows though.

    I know it's already the 5th of September but can I still join you all? I love Leslie Sansone and I have about 15-20 of her workouts (some VCR tapes and the newer ones on DVD). I would like to do 75 miles for September but some of them will be outdoor miles as I love fall and taking walks outside. :smile:

    Day 6 of walking challenge.
    Did Walk Slim 3 Fast Miles this AM.

    Have a great day, everyone!

    Goal- 50 miles
    Miles walked - 18
    Miles to go - 32

    Got the 4 Mile Express done tonight.

    I did Zumba on Sunday and have sessions tomorrow and Thursday, so I hope to squeeze in another walk by Saturday!

    Has anyone pre-ordered her new 5 mile dvd that comes out in October?

    Well I took a break today because I was tired from weekend. But so far I'm 5 miles down on my goal of 30.

    I see people posting about "mini challenges." Where do you get that information??
