I plan on starting with the 2 mile walk. Everyone seems so warm, caring and supportive here! I hope to make some friends as well! :)

I have purchased a lot of mine from amazon.com. Also, there are some youtube cliips of her short 2 and 3 mile walks. Maybe you can use the youtube videos until you purchase the dvd videos.
