WELCOME to all walkers!
It will be February, 2021 sooner than we realize it, so I am posting a couple of days early this time 😁. Then it will be time to start a fresh new monthly challenge! The second one for this year! So lets make February an extraordinarily awesome month while we continue through 2021. There are still so many possibilities and opportunities for a healthy year, no matter what January turned out to be for each of us! Start overs are available each and every day, as well as each month here on the Monthly Challenge.
Crisp and cold, and even snowy weather is definitely here for many of us depending where we live. Having Leslie's, or other walking 📀 DVDs, to pop in the player continues to be a great alternative to walking outdoors. Walking outdoors can still be an important part of fitness walking this month, when possible, for those who enjoy walking some miles or minutes walking in the snow or whatever the weather might be outside.
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, and on the treadmill, as well as other Walking DVDs. All of these many options count toward our miles and minutes. However you get your walk in, come on in and join us! 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. 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 February it doesn't matter which day of the month that you join in. Just set your goals to reflect what you want to walk for the remaining days left 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 this 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 awaiting the opportunity to welcome newcomers to this month's Walk Challenge!
So now... let us lace up those walking shoes and get some water... as we begin to walk into February of 2021! Come join us as we turn yet another calendar page 📆 ... and walk our way to a Happy and Healthy February.
Let us continue through 2021 by walking and exercising strong, and with a smile 😄!
🚶♀️🏃♀️ walk, walk, walk....

Helloooooo again everyone!
My February goal (all indoors) is 4 good sessions of about an hour each a week and I still have my daily fit bit to 7500 steps so I'm trying to hit those on work days in addition to the dedicated movement on my days off. By the end of the month I'm hoping to wean my calories back down by 5-600 from the 1800-2000 a day I've been maintaining/slightly gaining on since November, with the goal of working to lose more weight in March, April and May. So, not trying to go crazy on exercise and make myself all hungry, just trying to maintain these faster walking speeds and calorie burns, which I believe are a little easier indoors than outdoors on my hilly neighborhood terrain!
Today I turned on a dateline to keep my interest for about an hour and got my walk done before I'd even had my coffee which I had not been doing as much the past month and wanted to get back to --Nothing like a twisty turny mystery to keep my attention for a fast walk!3 -
Goal: Two weighted workouts and 1 yoga workout a week
2/1.....40 minutes, Yoga for Osteoporosis
2/2.....41 minutes of Light weights, lot's of reps , 33 minutes - 2 Miracle Miles
2/3.....rest day
2/4.....31 minutes of Strength & Stamina with 5 and 8 lb weights, 32 minutes of Burn to the Beat
@texasgardnr - You are hitting it hard right off the bat, Mary. WTG!1 -
@VeggieGirlforLife Yay! you are here 😁👏. Great goal and start to your month! And it was a good thing to remember that we have fewer days in February when deciding how many miles🤪!
@mypinkbikini Great plan and diet goals! Yes, a good mystery certainly makes the walking time go faster ⏱ 🏃♀️! Well done !
@AnnofB your logged exercise is amazing... you go girl 🤸♀️! Thanks for the encouraging words 💖.

@texasgardnr Reading your goals has me thinking about dusting off my rebounder and dragging it back upstairs to give it a go again... I might try that soon. Also, I should consider counting time spent walking while grocery shopping - because now it includes extra time dodging and rerouting to avoid people without their masks!
2 -
45 minutes aerobics and 2 FAST miracle miles afterward!1
-
@mypinkbikini fast indoor walk while watching a silent movie rocks!! Good for you for walking a fast 🏃♀️ one the next day also!
@AnnofB You are doing really great with your goal! And with a lot of variety also.
@lavender102013 that is a good idea for the app to show the whole month. If you don't have the time or just want to modify which walk to do then you can get to do so. Take care and feel better soon.
@VeggieGirlforLife Super awesome mileage! So true about rerouting my path in the grocery aisles. Customers get into the store with their mask on, then either pull it down completely to talk it seems, or wear it under their nose. They don't understand it seems. It does add extra time to my shopping.

Same here sometimes. I keep in mind 2 comments I saw here on the message boards, "...You never regret the workout you did." and "When motivation fails, (and it will) depend on discipline to get through it." I do however think slogging should be listed under the exercise tab and have extra calories tacked on for obvious reasons. 😉2 -
Thanks @AnnofB .1
-
@VeggieGirlforLife more mileage and strength 💪!
@damselfly7981 I know that you certainly felt the snow shoveling 😳. It has been many years since that was part of my life but I do remember.
@lavender102013 well done 👍.
@mypinkbikini you still did it!! You persevered and finished your walk 👏.
@AnnofB very wise words that you have remembered and shared with us ✨. Thank you!

February 5: House work & some extra cleaning, partial rest day
February 6: 60 minutes: rebounder, indoor walking
February 7: Rest Day!
February 8: 60+ minutes: one errand, indoor walking as needed + extra cleaning.
I didn't do actual dedicated exercise today b/c ankles and feet have been hurting, but I purposely kept finding things that needed to be done to keep moving, but with more sitting time in between.
🤠🌺2 -
I did a little 20 minutes resistance workout my friend suggested (it was ok but I don't love working out with them so probably won't do those videos often) and then switched over to 3 miles with Leslie sponsored by the AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION. During the video Leslie reminded everyone that the heart NEEDS 30 minutes of exertion to be its best.
February is heart health month. Heart disease IS the number 1 killer of women.
Some of us are at higher risk than others due to circumstances beyond our control- lets make the most of our diet and exercise this month to keep our hearts as strong and healthy as they can be. BIG HUGS to all of you taking "steps" to keep yourselves healthy.
