It's a new month and time for a new miles challenge! Walking with Leslie is a great workout and a challenge is fun and keeps us accountable.

WELCOME ALL! :flowerforyou: Walk yourself Strong in May!

My goal for May will be 60 miles.:happy:

What's yours???:huh:

    Since I have finals, I will lower my goal to 50 this month. But I hope I end up doing more! The less pressure on myself the next three weeks, the better. :)

    Goal: 50 miles
    5/1/12: 2 miles

    miles left: 48

    Leslie : walk it off & tone it up

    tried to do the 3 miles on this one, realized I will have to work up to that....these resistance bands are no joke got a full body work out.

    This is a killer workout! Doing all 5 miles just about kills me - LOL You are soooo right - those bands are no joke.

    Hi Everyone,

    I am new to the group my name is Michelle, I have a question this DVD set this is done at home right. So you are doing the walking in place etc all at home for 5, 10 miles each day. Is that right, I am very interested in walking daily I am slipped bad, so I am up for the challenge.

    One more question are you using a pedimeter to keep track of the miles walked and what is fitbit. One last question which are the best sneakers to wear for this any suggestions I am looking at getting either nike or reebok flex type sneakers. thank you

    Michelle:smile:

    Hi Michelle...I can only answer two of your questions. These are Leslie Sansone DVDs that we use inside the home. The DVDs will track the mileage so you'll know how far you've walked. You can go to YouTube and preview some of her DVDs. I hope this helps a little.:smile:

    Good morning, ladies. Here we walk again:flowerforyou:
    @Tidy : congratulations, you reach your goal in the April challenge. What a walker you are :bigsmile: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
    @princess: I hope you've recovered from the green miles ? :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I really did them yesterday. Hate the grapevines LOL
    Ok, here's my goal for May. I try 80 miles again. Hope to get them in this time.
    Yesterday I did 2 yucky green miles AND the 5 mile FB walk. So 73 to go.

    Good luck and happy walking to all of you :drinker:

    Hi Michelle,

    Welcome!:flowerforyou: I am not sure what fitbit is myself. The Leslie Sansone DVD's are mile specific, so I don't use a pedometer but I do use a Heart Rate Monitor. I have the Reebok Realflex shoes - LOVE THEM!

    Good luck - checkout the Youtube for Leslie!

    WOO HOO! Glad you are in again!
    Well, didn't do the green miles :ohwell: But today I did the 3 miles on the WATP - oh my! I guess I only did that one once before but today it was killer! Uses the stretchy/toning band for a little bit.

    You are already on a roll AND running too!

    Welcome to all the new walkers!:flowerforyou: We have a great group going already!

    Can you tell that @cnocnacu and I just LOVE Smiley's!!!:bigsmile:

    I didn't get a walk in yesterday but managed the 3M WATP today. That is a great 3 Miler for anyone that has this DVD. I usually do the 4M - it's great also, but only time today for 3 and was sweating bullets.

    GOAL - 60 Miles
    So FAR - 6 Miles
    TO GO - 54 Miles

    Get your walk on girls!:laugh:

    Goal : 50

    Today 5/3/12 walked : 2 mile

    48 more to Go!! It felt SO GOOD
  • I am just starting back at working out, at one point (a few years ago), I actually surprised myself with how much I had not only accomplished, but actually looked forward to my workouts. Things took a turn for the worst, a leg injury knocked me off track...and fear and excuses have prevented me from getting back to where I was. I did try about 6 months ago and over did it within the fist two weeks, and did more harm then good. This time I am being more realistic and am going to try to be happy with just getting it done...whatever I might be capable each day. So I am not setting any certain number of steps or miles, my goal for May is to start back with working out (I have a large collection of Leslie Sansone DVD's...and LOVE THEM). As long as I stick with it, do the best I am capable of each day...I will be happy with that! Good luck to all in accomplishing their goals for May!
