@mypinkbikini retired shifter worker here. Some days it’s so tough to get anything done but work and commute. Keep on walking🙂3

Got in 7500+ both weekend days. Made sure to take steps and stairs whenever possible to get my numbers up there. I am supposed to work tomorrow but if we're overstaffed I might be outdoor walking for a sunny morning 5 miles. Fingers crossed!!!3

Hi All,
New to Walk at Home with Leslie as discovered by chatting with my sister in law. I'm normally a zumba kind-of-a-girl but I'm giving this a go for a change.
I'm currently working a strange shift pattern so my aim is to do the workouts when I'm at home, with one rest day and then a 25 minute 'normal' walk at dinner time when I'm work.
I'll take my start date for today if that's ok and as I'm at work, it'll be a 25 minute walk round the car park!3 -
June Goals
20.74 / 95 Miles Tracked
Apple Watch Challenge: 3 / 13 exercises of 15 minutes or more.
I took a simple 3-mile bike ride yesterday morning. I went against my own best judgment and didn't wear my bike shorts. A decision I now regret.
A mini heatwave this week, so exercises will be indoors.
Let's have a great week, girls!2 -
5 sunny miles with my family this morning!1

Morning All,
So my plan has gone out of the window today.....I'm at work and it's raining which means I won't get my lunch time walk in. Not sure what to do. I'll be doing some Walking tomorrow on YouTube. Should I do my normal Thursday / Friday / Saturday and have a rest on Sunday or should I make up for today and do an extra one on Sunday and take today as my rest day?
June 8: 25 minute walk at dinner time
June 9: 25 minute walk at dinner time1 -

Thanks but I actually got out at dinner so Sunday can be my rest day1 -
It has finally stopped snowing in MI and it is 89F (31.7C) already but the weatherman tells me it feels like 95F (35C)!! Just want I wanted to hear! NOT!!!! :grumble: However, we are coming out of Stay Home Stay Safe so no excuses!! :laugh:
June Goal: MWF-Upper Body Strength + 10 minute Walk Blaster, TRS Lower Body Strength + 10 minute Walk Blaster, SU any thing I want!!! At least 2 miles per day or 60 miles for June!

Well, it's along way from 60 miles, but it's a start! You know you are unmotivated when the day you clean your house is the day you walk the most miles! :grumble: Between packing, protests, COVID, painting, this new Learning Management System and students, I have no idea where the days go!!! I am going to have to get New York Tough before I move or the Governor may not let me in! :laugh: I must be self disciplined for the rest of the month!!
Welcome to all the new people! It is nice to see new people and some different workouts!
@Deeder522 -We people with Dutch ancestry have to watch the sun as we burn very easily!! I wear SPF 30 all winter and SPF 55 all summer. Between my Dutch and Irish ancestors, I am totally screwed when it comes to the sun!! :laugh:
@texasgardnr - I am so sorry your ankle is still giving you a hard time. It is depressing when we want to do things that we can't. I also think being locked up for 3 months has made us all want to do more than walk around our houses that is for sure. It looks like you are getting out though and Leslie's Heart Healthy Walk is a good one when you hurt. This must be even harder for you having been in the medical profession for so long. I'd be demanding my bones heal up or else!!!!Does anyone have recommendations for Leslie workouts with weightlifting. I do Tone every Zone and like it, but am interested in changing things up. Thanks
In addition to Tone Every Zone, Leslie has 2 other weight workouts that I am aware of, not counting the band workouts. One is from the Walk Away the Pounds, the Weight Loss Series and is called Walk Strong. This is a 2 Mile Walk and Weight Interval workout. You walk for 3 minutes and then lift weights for 3 minutes in intervals for 30 minutes. She recommends 3 -5 pound weights, but I have done this one with 8 and 10 lbs. The second one is more intense and is from Just Walk and is called Walk It Off In 30 Days. This one is a 30 minute workout of non-stop strength training for the entire body she calls Firm 30! The DVD also has a 30 minute Burn 30 and the idea is that you alternate the 30 minute Firm Day with the 30 Minute Burn Day for 30 Days for total body fitness. The weights recommended are 5, 8, 10 or 12 pounds because you might want to change them out for different exercises. By the end of a month, I am often using 15 pound weights for the back and bicep and chest, while using lighter ones for triceps and her ab moves. You can safely increase the weights as you get fitter with this one. Maybe @texasgardnr or @AnnofB know of others as they have been with Leslie longer. Anyway, hope this helps.
Walk Strong Everyone! :bigsmile:

@bacpath: If I remember right, Burn Body Fat uses some hand weights for 1-2 miles.
No logging or exercising today. Strong storms took our power out about noon today. Still out as I type this. It's supposed to be restored by before midnight but the ETA has slipped 2x already. The rest of the week looks promising.
@zichab Hopefully you survived these storms if they passed through your area. As for my sunburn, I was able to get lotion on fairly quickly and that took all the sting out so now its just a slow fade back to pale.1 -
@zichab and @Deeder522, wow! you certainly had some storms in your areas. I definitely got all the benefit and no problems from your storm systems. Our meteorologist said that we were having a "summer cold front" come through because of the storms north of us. It dropped our humidity very low and also the temperatures in the morning!! So even with with a final high of 93 and low humidity it felt wonderful outside. Our morning was down in the 60s so it was a great opportunity to open the windows and also do some work outside!
I'm glad all is clear in your areas now, after the storms.
@bacpath, I have used Jessica Smith's 'Walk On' series: Metabolism Booster DVD. I've used the upper body circuit on it, so far. She uses weights in it.
This DVD has an upper body, lower body, and a total body circuit.
There are 3 persons leading, so you have a choice of who to follow in the workouts: Jessica, her mother (who I mostly follow) and another younger woman who is beyond fit and has amazing balance. So there are leaders of different ages as well as different fitness levels being demonstrated at all times. So at any time one can follow (or aspire to) any one of the leaders. This is a walking based DVD !
@AnnofB uses Jessica Smith workouts. That is how I learned about her workouts.

I only got 5,000+ steps yesterday but Wednesday is my "rest" day so I just give myself grace, get what I get and let it be. It's all sorts of blustery and yucky outside this morning so that tanked my goal to get out first thing but it's supposed to clear up this afternoon. So I'm hoping to get out there for 60-90 minutes and a stretch session after to listen to my audiobook. Cannot wait to get through another chunk of that. If the skies aren't clear by this afternoon Leslie and I will do 5 miles indoors together
I've been so good about my calories this week but my weight loss hasn't been responding and I've been feeling a little discouraged. Hopeful that some serious daily walking in the week ahead with conscientious calories (and maybe laying off the wine completely for a week) will help me move the dial on my scale.
Grumble grumble. My lack of long walks has obviously impacted my attitude. Hopeful to return tomorrow with more cheerful attitude and pep in the step.

Hi All,
Today is my first day 'off shift' and after 3 lots of 12hrs sat at a desk and getting up early, I was shattered this morning. I thought about not doing any exercise today and having today as a rest day but I like my lazy Sundays!
Luckily hubby exercises every week day so when he went off to the garage to do his rowing and weights, I made myself do a work out.
30 minute boosted walking today and felt soo much better for it!
June 8: 25 minute walk at dinner time
June 9: 25 minute walk at dinner time
June 10: 25 minute walk at dinner time
June 11: 30 minute boosted walking
Going to look for a toning type one for tomorrow....any suggestions?4 -

Hello. There's a discussion on strength/toning in this same thread. 🙂
On zichab's suggestion I tried Walk Strong, part of Leslie's Walk Away the Pounds series. It was a good workout. Got my heart pumping.
I've done the Miracle Miles and while they do have some toning moves, they only last a few minutes during each mile. Also you stop walking to do the toning. There are 3 bonus toning workouts on the 1 MM mile dvd using the blue band (any stretchy band will do, the blue one has comfortable handles, though) They are not very long though. A lot of the miles on this set are on youtube now, so you can take a look there.
As texasgardnr mentioned, Jessica Smith is a good instructor and lot's of her workouts are on youtube as well.
Hope this helps.2 -

I totally forgot about that Burn Body Fat workout! That is another one where she says 3 pound weights and I use 5-8 (when I am strength training regularly that is ) as it is all upper body.
Oh my gosh those storms!!! It looked like Lake Michigan emptied itself on us!!! :noway: It always scares me when the trees blown up toward the sky! Anyway, we were fine, except for having a lot of branches down on our lawn and several uprooted trees in the neighborhood. How were things where you are?
Don't you hate it that we get sunburned and when it goes away we are pale? My whole family gets so brown and here I am all pasty white with freckles!!!!! I inherited all the northern European genes! :sad:

Do not get discouraged! You are doing a lot of working out, for long intervals (i.e. 5,000 steps, 5 mile workouts etc) and your muscles and organs hold on to water when you do that. I know it is hard, but stay with it and give it a week or 2 and you will experience what is called the "whoosh" and 3-5 pounds will go all at once. I had a lot to lose and that happened to me all the time!! I remember I stayed at one weight for 3 weeks and almost gave up on the whole MFP thing and then whoosh, 3.8 pounds left never to return. Losing weight is a frustrating process!!! :grumble:
Walk Strong Everyone! :bigsmile:
