Fitness Videos - Walk Away the Pounds September Daily Check-in

Hello all you beautiful walkers! This is the thread for people who use Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds! Feel free to stop by and report your walks and progress toward your goals! Or if you just want to ask a question, we're here for you!!!

Well, school starting has totally put a stop to my workouts this week :tantrum: I did get plenty of ped steps, though (12,000-22,000 each day since I started back on the 21st)! Today I took advantage of no one being home and did 3 Fast Miles. It felt great :cp: !

Today was a loooooong day, and my food was maybe not as good as it could have been, but I did do 1 mile Express with the stretchy band and I ran around the park for a good while with my niece.

I'm hoping I can get back OP with my food tomorrow. Right now, that's really what's killing me.

I did Walk and Jog this morning,and Walk Slim's 2 miles this evening.

:carrot:

It's a rest day for me! Hubby and I are going to see Halloween at the theater..without POPCORN! :p

I did Yoga Walk this morning! It felt great to do those stretches! I may have to look into more yoga workouts. Anyone know anything about You Can Do Yoga?

No, but I may have to look into it. :D

Hi,

Didn't wlk yesterday, my day off. Walked 1 fast start mile today.

Kept my 1 lb. loss off so I will change my ticker!

Phyllis

You Can Do Yoga is a great beginner video! Leslie goes through all the poses and the proper forms very thoroughly, and it moves at a slow, relaxing pace.

1mile Express again today for me. I'm going to ATTEMPT 2mile tomorrow. NOT Express.

Today I chose Walk Away Your Waistline, but I used double bands on my ab belt! I'm trying to follow this month's Walk Diet (from Leslie's site) and see if I can get back to the 180's, which I have done in more than 5 years!

Well, I kind of jumped in last month and then disappeared because of an out of town funeral and while gone, found out I am pregnant (still really early)!

I'd still like to stick around though..although, I will no longer be trying to lose weight...I guess I'll have to change my ticker!

Yesterday I did the 30 Minute Walk and today I did the Evening Mile (afternoon) then took a 35 minute walk outside this evening! I am SOOOO tired....we'll have to see how it goes....although, each time I exercise, I end up feeling 10x better!

CONGRATS on the pregnancy!

I did 3 Fast Miles this morning, and a 30 minute strength training workout this evening. :)

Cassie, does the 3 Fast Miles have jogging or "boosted walking" in it? How long is it? I'm trying to get some new DVD's in my collection that are low impact and a bit shorter than the video's I've been doing over the past few months.

Also, can you, or anyone else tell me about the express walks..I only have the 4 Mile Super Challenge but am wondering how the other ones are....I'm assuming there is no boosted walking in them??? Also, I think I saw somewhere they use the stretchie??

Thanks!

Hey there! 3 Fast Miles doesn't have boosted walking (jogging), but it comes with a 2 mile walk that does have jogging intervals. The 3 fast miles is about 45 minutes long, but it's funner than most other 3 miles...they have grapevines, even mambos! It's pretty fun and goes by very, very fast. The interesting part is when she lets Mary Kay lead...but it's not that great because Mary Kay doesn't have a microphone, so you can't hear her, lol!
Still, I recommend it.
The express walks..I have all of those, and there are no jogging intervals in them..but they do all use the stretchie band...well, I know the 2&3 miles do, I haven't used the 1 mile. Have you used Walk & Jog or Walk & Kick? They're interval workouts, and I really enjoy them. :)

Hi II have a 15 minute mil dvd from LEslie does anyone have any good reccomendations for a super beginner?

1 mile is great if you're new to exercise. :)

I did Walk & Kick this morning

Just finished 2 Mile High Calorie Burn with 3lb weights for my evening workout.

:D:D:D

KO: any of the 1 mile's from Leslie would be great for a super beginner!

MominWI: congrats on your pregnancy! All 3 of the main Express workouts use the stretchie. I'm not quite sure why they say the 4 mile Supper Challenge is part of the Express series, since it doesn't, but they're all great workouts.

There's a brand new 3 mile (just released this week) that uses weights, if you like that. It's called "3 Mile Weight Loss Walk". It's not for sale on Leslie's site (not sure why), but collage and amazon have it and I've heard that local Best Buy stores may have it, too. She also has a recently released 3 mile that uses the ab belt. It's called Walk Away Your Waistline. I love that one, too! Can you tell I'm addicted to Leslie's workouts?

This morning I did the 2 Mile Fast Start from Walk Slim. I haven't done one with the intervals in awhile and thoroughly enjoyed it!

I'm reeeeeally looking forward to getting the new 3 mile weight loss walk! Yay!:carrot:

Which Walk Away the Pounds video would you recommend for a beginner? There are SO many to choose from, I can't decide which would be better. Thanks!

Hi Daimere!

All of the WATP dvds are great, but if you're new to exercise, I'd being with any of her 1 mile walks. Many of them also come with 2 & 3 mile walks so you can work up to them. Look around on amazon or collagevideo.com, read the reviews and see what you think you'd like. Many of them also have boosters, so it's good to have a set of 2-3lb weights or a stretchie band as well. :)

9/3 4 mile super challenge
9/5 4 mile super challenge

Hi guys, today I did the 2 mile WATP (I haven't done it in so long...it was fun revisiting it)!

Cassie, I have done both Walk & Kick and Wack & Jog and I love them both as well...I don't want to do jogging right now but I've thought of doing the Walk & Kick...I'm actually going to talk to my OB about what I can do...I'm not worried about doing Leslie's lower impact exercise (before my appt) but anything with a lot of bouncing scares me..both of my girls were born early and although I had "easy" early pregnancies, I want to watch what I do! Oh, and I'm definitely going to buy 3 mile walk slim..I can save the 2 mile until after the pregnancy!

I may try the other express videos and am going to check out the new one on amazon.

You know, even though I don't feel like I get my heart rate up that much when I do the tape, I feel exhausted by the 4th mile. Like, I could fall over any minute. That must mean I'm getting a good workout, right?

Thank you. I'm just nervous to get one that I won't like. I got so many that I don't need any more that I won't use. So, I just want to make the right decision. I have 2-3 lb weights and stretchy bands, so I will be good in that department.

Hey girls! I can't remember if I posted my exercise yesterday or not, but I did 4 fast miles...well, MOST of it. My DVD skipped for some reason and it cut out about 10 minutes! i was so mad. I need to look into that before I attempt it again, it's brand new!
Also did some strength training yesterday.
Today, I did Walk & Jog this morning, and 2 Mile Express this evening.

Okay Ladies, after all your words of advice and a little addictive shopping from me, I have ordered:

The new 3 mile from Amzon
3 Mile Walk Slim (and doesn't that come with a get started and 2 mile..)
And, all of the Express Walks (except the 4 mile which I had)..I bought 2 of VHS for a MUCH better price since I plan on using them only through the pregnancy! I was tired last night but I think I got a 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml and Walk Strong..does that sound right?

I also ordered 3 pregnancy DVD's early this week so it's going to be like my birthday by next week!

Tonight, I skipped Leslie but I did walk for an hour on my treadmill.

Hey gang :wave:

I guess I should be posting my exercise over here. I use Leslie's dvds also. I just love them. I find what works best for me is to get up at 5 am and do 30 minutes of walking before getting ready for work. If I don't do it first thing, I just don't seem to get to it.

Hey MicheleL - remember me? I haven't talked to you in awhile but it's great to see ya! How are you doing?

Here's what I've done so far this month

Monday Sept 3 = 3 miles
used the new Walk Slim 3 mile

Wednesday Sept 5 = 2 miles
used the WATP 2 mile

Sept = 5 miles

2007 = 107 miles

:carrot:

Don't y'all just love the new Walk Slim dvds? boy are they a work out or what! ;-)

Wonderful! I think it's great that you're going to continue exercising during your pregnancy..I should have done that with my kids instead of scaring down fast food burgers, lol. With my next pregnancy, I VOW to workout. :D
You'll enjoy those DVD's!

They're a great workout, Cathy! I love them too. And they have some different moves in them..I wasn't expecting to mambo, lol!

did the 2 mile Walk Slim this morning :carrot:

Sept = 7 miles

2007 = 109 miles

Hi everyone,

Well, I woke up with TONS of energy and did the 4 Fast Miles...I did modify during the "boosted walking" period but I still felt like I got a good workout..if there is someone here or reading this that is nervous/unsure about moving up to the boosted walking workouts....I really did feel like I got a decent workout by modifying and just walking....so you would have a choice and can work up the jogging segments.

Cassie, with my first 2 pregnancies, I almost completely stopped exercising right when I found out I was pregnant. I also stopped counting calories during that time..I'm still counting now but am up to a maintaining level....I delivered both girls early so I think by my 3rd trimester (if not sooner), I'll have to take a break but I guess I learned that becoming sedentary and eating whatever I wanted for "9 months" isn't all that it's cracked up to be! I'm going to send you a PM about where you are in KS...that is where my husband is from!

Cathy...LOVE the Slim Walk program...along with the Advanced 5 miles..I think that is my favorite!

Cathy: Nice to "see" you again! Glad to hear you're still walking!

I've not had a good week. This new school schedule is going to kill me! I just CAN'T get up and do a workout in the morning and still get everyone off to school before 7:30! And by the time I get home, I've already walked over 12000 steps (or more) and just CAN'T do a workout after supper! I will do them on the weekends and TRY to squeeze some in during the week, but until I can get a better handle on this new schedule, I'm just going to be low on miles. To top it off, I have surgery on my right hand next week and don't know what restrictions the Dr. may place on me. More than Likely, I'll have to do treadmill or workouts without boosters for several weeks:( Life just SUCKS right now :mad:!

Sorry to be such a downer.......

Michele :wave:

Today, I ordered a 1, 2,3 mile from amazon. I should be able to get it next week. I can't wait.

hey gang :wave:

I cleaned house for 6 hours today so that is my exercise for the day. One of these days I'm gonna strap on a pedometer and see how many steps I take while cleaning. I figure it's a couple of miles but I don't add it into my monthly & yearly mileage. I just chalk it up as exercise for the day. ;)

Michelle - You are not a downer! I totally understand you being upset about your schedule and surgery. And I'm with you - I just can't get in a workout after supper. If I don't do it first thing - it just doesn't get done. You are so dedicated and hate for anything to get in the way of your workouts and that is great, but girl, if you are walking 12,000 steps in a day you may be getting enough exercise already. I sit at a desk all day so walking or doing Leslie's dvds are the only steps I get in, but you are getting more the recommended steps. You might have to cut yourself some slack while you are working so hard - and especially while you're getting thru surgery. I think I missed it - why are you having surgery on your hand? Why don't you post your steps here each day (when you have time of course). As you know, it all counts girlie ;-)

Daimere - let us know when your dvds come in. I picked up the new 3 mile at Best Buy yesterday. I must have about 20 of her dvds and I love them all ;-)

hope everybody has a great weekend!
hugs,
cathy

Good job everyone! I walked 11.5 miles this week, it took about 5 days to do it. I'm slowly but surely doing more and more.

Hi Ladies,

Today I did the 30 Miute Walk and then later in the evening I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes!

Hang in there Michelle! I know it can get overwhelming with so much going on...stress is a powerful thing! Keep reminding yourself that you are doing the best you can right now and that's enough!

Hi ladies! I can't really chat tonight, because I'm running on about 3 hours of sleep and working like a madwoman (homework, I HATE IT!!!!), but I'm here to check in!

I did Tae Bo Cardio this morning,
Walk & Kick this evening.:carrot:

Did 2 mile WATP for the abs. I think this is my favorite WATP tape. I love the music. It really gets me excited about working out. I no longer have the belt thingie but I do the arm exercises anyway. I may do it again later for a total of 4 miles.

Just wanted to stop by and say Hi, your all doing great with the walking. I had to stop 2 days ago because of problems with my left foot....I am trying to rest it but if it's not better I will go to the foot dr. on Tues. It is something with the heel, maybe a tendon? Don't know but I sure miss doing my dvd.

Hope I'm back on track soon.

Phyllis

Hi everyone,

Today I did the 3 Mile WATP!

I hope your foot is feeling better Phyllis!

good morning gang :wave:

Got up at 5 and did 2 miles of the new 3 mile Weight Loss Walk that I picked up at Best Buy on Friday. I loved it. Wish I would have had time to do the whole things.

One thing I noticed tho - the back of the dvd gives a breakdown of a 15 minute mile, a 12 minute mile and then another 15 minute mile. But they were all 15 minute miles - the 2nd mile was not 12 minutes, but 15. Don't know why it's printed on there wrong - but it is ;)

Sept miles = 9

2007 miles = 111

2 mile WATP for the abs

Morning-3 Fast Miles

Evening-Weights for 30 mins.

hey gang :wave:

I did 2 miles this morning. Used the new 3 mile Weight Loss Walk dvd. I did the 1st and 3rd miles.



Sept = 11 miles

2007 = 113 miles

2 mile high calorie burn this morning (with 3lb weights)

Walk Slim 2 mile walk this evening.

:D

Is there room for one more here:wave: I also am doing the watp tape and DH is doing it with me. :goodvibes we did 30 mins this morning and I walked 2 miles with the dog :running:I'm glad to be here .

Of course there's room! Welcome!

I actually did Tae Bo Cardio this morning...needed to fool my body today.:p
I'll do weights tonight.:dizzy:

I bought WATP a while back and used it for a few weeks and felt like it wasn't a hard enough workout to actually produce results. I am looking to get back into it and was wondering if it is the right workout for me. I am looking to lose around 15-20 pounds. Is this workout going to give me results or should I find something else?

How many miles did you do? And did you have walk boosters? There are many workouts, ranging from 1-5 miles that you can do with weighs, resistance bands, ab belts,...I'm sure Leslie has something that would suit you.:D

Ok ladies... any ideas where to get some cheap copies of these movies? I have used them before, but only from the library.... but let me tell you, they ROCK!

I want the 1,2,3 mile set....it will really help me to boost my weightloss...and get me ready for tennis!!!

and how do you ALWAYS find motivation?! when is the best time of the day to do them?

I obviously need some guidance. haha

I obviously need some guidance. haha

I just force myself to do it...then, once you get the endorphins going, you just want more, more, MORE! Do them whenever you can! I do one workout around 8:30am, and then I'll do another around 4pm. I have 2 kids, so it varies.
Cheap DVD's...have you tried ebay? They are also sold on amazon.com and collagevideo.com....of course, there is Leslie's site herself that sells them, but they're a bit higher.
Welcome!

thanks for the info!

You can also buy them at Walmart and Best Buy.

No problem, Stars!:)

I did 2 miles this morning, 2 miles this evening.

hey gang - I have the cold of the century and it is taking all I've got to hold my head up. Needless to say I haven't exercised since this hit on Tuesday night. I'm hoping I'll feel well enough tomorrow to execise and post it.
hugs,
Cathy

I did my first WATP. I did the thirty minute 2 mile just to get my cardio out of the way. It was harder than I thought. I was sweating but my heart didn't real

I ran across a set of the WATP dvds at a local thrift store. I had never heard of it before, but figured it could be just another addition to mix up my routines. I was underwhelmed at the start (felt like it was something my mom would like) but I kept going ... and it indeed intensified ... I felt it!!! It really has helped me manage endurance and at my size now ...I thought that was close to impossible. I've only managed to hit the 1 mile mark without wanting to pass out ...lol... but I love it and will continue going at it ...

It's great, isn't it? I love how you can fit it to suit your needs and endurance level.:D

I did 3 mile express this morning, weights this evening.

Did 2 miles yesterday and nothing today. Shooting for 4-6 miles tomorrow!

Hi, ladies! Sorry I haven't been here in awhile. I had my surgery on Wed and things seem to be healing OK. I've been lazy and haven't done a formal workout since Sept 4 and I'm not sure I should do the arm movements with Leslie's workout yet (surgery was on my right hand). I will try to get on the treadmill this weekend.

Glad to see so many of you working out with Leslie! I'm going shopping today and while I'm out, I'm looking for her newest workout--3 Mile Weight Loss Walk! It uses weights and I've heard really good things about it on some of my other forums. Best Buy is supposed to have it for $12.99, so that's where I'll start. Amazon has it for $9.99, but I really don't need anything else from them to reach $25 for free shipping.

Keep walking and I'll be joining you SOON!

Michele :wave:

Glad you're recovering well!

I want the new 3 mile walk too! I'm going to get it in a couple of weeks.

Today, I did 4 fast miles (WheW!!!)

And Walk/Kick

:carrot:

Thanks, Cassie!

I found the new 3 mile at Best Buy for $12.99. I can't do the weights yet, but I'm glad to have it for when I can.

I had a wonderful surprise when I weighed in for a challenge on another forum this morning! I lost 3 pounds this week! And that's WITHOUT formal fitness walking! Guess I needed to confuse my body and just rely on regular pedometer walking. I'm back to where I was when school got out on June 1 (had a bad summer), so now I can move forward to my goal of being at 180 by the end of the year! It feels so much more doable now!

I'm going to try the treadmill or a Leslie workout without the arm movements later today. We'll see how it goes with my hand. Hoping I can do something--I feel so LAZY without my workouts! :(

Have a great day!

Michele :wave:

I had started using Leslie videos once again.. and will keep an effort on sticking with it daily. It is great on hearing people watp with her!

Saturday..30 min..2 miles WATP video, high calorie burn w blue weighted balls!

Check in later..Enjoy your day!

2 mile WATP for the abs this morning. Going to do it again shortly.

Sunday..2 miles WATP,high calorie burn video w blue weighted balls.

Last night I did the 30 minute 2 mile walk. Today before I strength trained I did the 18 minute 1 mile walk. I found this morning I could extend my opposite arm out during knee lifts automatically! I've only done Watp 2 other times. ^_^

I ended up doing the FIRM BSS1 Cardio Sculpt instead last night! I was feeling brave and I actually made it through :)

Going to do walk and kick now.

I did 3 fast miles this morning. Great, great workout.

I'm about to do 2 mile high calorie burn

I did Fast Start 2 miles this morning.

2 Mile High Calorie burn tonight.

Hi everyone,
I'm getting back to my weight loss effort after several months of stress and family emergencies. I know I need to take care of myself in order to take care of others so one thing I want to do is get back to doing my WATP. I know it was a key in my previous success. My goal is a least 10 miles a week to start with. So I want to join in all of you other WATPers to help keep me motivated!! I'm looking forward to sharing the journey with you all!
Carole

Carole, :welcome2:!!

I did 3 mile express this morning, and weights tonight.:)

Hi everyone,

Sorry I've been MIA..I think I will be for at least another week or so...Unfortunately, there is a 85% chance I'm miscarrying...my hcg levels (pregnancy hormones) aren't doubling so I'm in the wait and see mode..things aren't looking good but I'm still pregnant and have been very tired and obviously a bit down....

I've been walking on my treadmill almost every day and will start doing Leslie again when I start feeling better....today I actually decided to break up my exercise into three segments and so I did "Stacy Style WATP." hehe...I do that sometimes where I just do my own routine...today they were both 20 minutes long!

Hope everyone is doing well and I'll be back soon! :)

Hi,
I did the 2 mile walk diet yesterday and this morning. I can tell I'm a little sore this evening. I've mostly been walking outside with dh this summer and the dvds are a better workout.
Carole

MominWI, I'm thinking about you..I'm sorry the news isn't looking good.

Yesterday, I did 3 fast miles in the morning and Walk & Kick in the evening.

I did 3 Mile Super Fat Burning Walk w/3lb weights this morning, and I'll be doing weights tonight.

Yesterday I did the quick 1 mile and today I did my 30 minutes Fat Burning 2 mile. It does go rather quick! Now, I'm putting more effort in my kicks!

I did 4 fast miles this morning. :D

Did 2 miles yesterday and walk and kick today. I must really be out of shape because these workouts are kicking my butt.

I did 2 mile today. I didn't even take off my MP3 Player. It made it more intense in some parts depending on the song. IRONICALLY, right before cool down a slow song starts. That was pretty awesome. I think I'm going to look into get a few more to shake things up. Although I don't think I'm ready for my 3 mile yet.

And from the other day, since it was a strength train day for me, I added weights. My arms just stopped hurting! WOW

good morning gang :wave:

a nasty cold messed me up but.....

I got in 2 miles this morning and I feel better already ;)

I did the first 2 miles of the 4 mile Super Challenge dvd

hope everybody has a blessed day!

Sept = 13 miles

2007 = 115 miles

I'm getting ready for work and I worked all weekend late shifts so didn't get on here but I did the 2mi. Sat and the 2mi. this morning. Still hanging in there!
I'm going to try the 3mi. tomorrow.

I did 3 fast miles this morning. Will do weights this evening, if I can. My daughter as a girl scouts meeting tonight, so I may not have time.:dizzy:

I just did 2 miles with Leslie :carrot:

I did the 1 mile booster with 2 lb hand weights and then I did the 13 minute mile on the 5 mile dvd.

Now I gotta get a shower and get ready for work.

hope everybody has a blessed day!
hugs,
Cathy

Sept = 15 miles
2007 = 117 miles

You know what I find funny about Leslie's commentary? If you ever seen 10th kingdom, you might remember the trolls going "Nicey-nice." Whenever she says nice! Nice! I can only think of the trolls. Rofl

I did the 2 mile today!

LOL, I've never seen that movie. A lot of people complain that Leslie is too chatty, but I like it, actually.:p

I did 2 miles this morning (walk slim), and I just did walk & kick a few minutes ago.:)

I didn't mind it at first. But meh, it's kinda so so. I like it better when I listen to my MP3 player because I put more effort into the workout then.

I just did the 2 mile Walk Slim dvd :carrot:

Heading to the shower.

hope everybody has a blessed day!
hugs,
Cathy

Sept = 17 miles
2007 = 119 miles

I did the 3 mile express this morning, getting ready to do weights in a few!:carrot:

I just did 2 miles. I used the 1 mile Booster and the Power Mile and used 2 lb hand weights with both miles.

Gonna hit the shower and head to work.

later gaters

Sept = 19 miles
2007 = 121 miles

I did a 2 mile but I wasn't that pumped to do it. I feel so tired.

3 Mile Super Fat Burning Walk w/3lb weights this morning.

2 Mile High Calorie Burn w/3lb weighs this evening.

:running:

hey Cassie - you are exercising like crazy! that's great!

hey Daimere - on the days when you don't feel like working out - and you do - I think they should count as double ;-) don't you? I hope you're feeling better today!

I just did 2 miles from the 5 mile dvd.

I exercised every day this week! :carrot: I haven't made it up early to exercise every day for the whole week since January so I'm excited about that.

But my scale is up several pounds this morning and I am NOT excited about that at all. *sigh* Apparently I need to do better on my eating. I'll be working on it.

hope everybody has a blessed day!
hugs,
cathy

Sept = 21 miles
2007 = 123 miles

Hi Cathy! I guess I'm getting a little addicted to exercise, lol. I just ordered 5 more DVD's today, 3 of them are Leslie Sansone.:o

This morning I did the 4 mile express challenge.

This evening, I did 2 mile express w/stretchie band.:)

Good morning, walkers! Sorry I've been MIA. I had surgery on my hand and had to wait for it to recover enough that I could move it freely.

So, for my first workout since the surgery, I chose the new 3 Mile Weight Loss Walk with 2 pound weights! It was AWESOME!!!! I highly recommend it!

Since I really liked the Walk Away the Pounds, I decided I would try Denise Austin's Indoor Walk. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE.

First of all, the way she accents her facial expressions maker her look insane. Usually the MP3 player drowns out Leslie but NOOOOT Denise!

Then, it takes alot more room than Leslie and way to dancy. You barely get into a move before you change to another. I just wound up pacing half of it. At least if I do the 18 minute Start it Up it goes quick. This 15 minutes was the longest 15 EVER. Even Turbo Jam didn't feel like that. I have not been this displease with a workout EVER.

Denise Austin gets on my LAST nerve, lol! I bought her "Female Fatzones" DVD, and I couldn't stomach it for long, lmfao.

This morning, I did Turbo Jam Cardio party ( had to modify...they are insane, lol)

This evening, I did a new one! I went to Wal-Mart today, and they are selling Walk Away Your Waistline WITH a walk-belt for only $12! I had to get it, so I did it tonight.:D

Oh, and the DVD's that I ordered yesterday are:

*Fast Firming

*The new 3 mile Weight loss walk (can't wait to do Mary Kay's mile!!)

*Really BIG 4 miles


Woot!:carrot:


Also got Walking For Weightloss w/Debbie Rocker and Burn & Firm with Kathy Voight (I think that's her name)...I hope I like 'em.:)

good evening gang :wave:

I cleaned house for 6 hours today so that is my exercise for the day!

Cassie - how did you like the dvd and the walk belt?

Hey Michelle - it's good to see ya! I'm glad your surgery went well. You must be recovering quickly to already be using 2 lb hand weights today. I love the new 3 mile dvd also! Picked it up at Best Buy after you mentioned it was there. :-)

hope everybody has a good weekend!
i'm taking tomorrow off
hugs,
Cathy

Wow, your house must be immaculate now! Wanna come and do mine? :lol:

I posted about the walk belt in the thread that I started about it. Overall, I liked the workout, but I'm a huuuge leslie fan, so just about anything she does is golden as far as I'm concerned.;)
Honestly, I would have liked her to speed it up a bit more, as all of the miles are 15 minutes. :^:
I can't WAIT for my other DVD's to get here! I'm hearing awesome things about them on the Walk Club. Are any of you Walk Club members? Some of Leslie's walkers are actually on there as regular posters....sweet ladies.:)

Since it's the last day in Sept and since I worked out only 2 days this past week (grrrr) I did Walk and Kick and the 2 mi WATP tape. Here's to a better October for me. :)

I think today I will tackle my 3 mile walk for the first time. I just have to get dressed and put some dishes in the sink before I start. Hopefully my mom won't want to go to Wal Mart during that time. :p

hey Cassie - I'm a Walk Club member!
and I love all of Leslie's stuff too :-)

I'm a Walk Club member, too! I think I have just about EVERY workout Leslie has made--LOL!

My gym had some weird plumbing problem (don't ask. I didn't.) so I did the 3 mile WATP w/belt. It seems like I'm the only one who loves the inane chatter/banter between Leslie and Randy. I think it's the two mile where Randy basically flirts with "the good looking grandmother". It always makes me laugh so hard. Actually all the banter makes me giggle. I love Leslie, the corny music and the fact that nobody's hair every gets mussed up. Every time Leslie says, "The belt's working fo ryou." I howl. Even when I'm in the shower I think to myself, "Even though the belt's in my closet, it's working for me!"

Since I don't have time to weight train before i go back to work, I'm doing the 2 mile(with weights) as a deal to myself. Yes an extra 10 minutes really does matter when I have to get back dressed, have lunch and decompress before work!

Hey Daimere - are you working out on your lunch hour? at the gym? or at work? I totally understand about only having a certain amount of time in your day to work out. that's great that you're doing it!

Hey Sharkys - I love Leslie and her chatter - the whole thing! I did one of her workouts last week with just the "music only" bec I really don't hear the music all that much since her voice seems louder than the music to me, but I just didn't enjoy it as much. I like her chipper chatty attitude ;-)

Well gang -I'm really in a bind here. I had a tooth that abscessed (again) and started bothering my Friday night and it has continued to get worse. I didn't get much sleep on Saturday night and last night I got even less - the good news is I can't eat ;) but I went to the dentist first thing this morning to get antibotics and pain pills and they even gave me a shot to try to numb it for a few hours and give me some relief. They xrayed it and will have to pull it on Thursday evening if the antibotics kick in like they should.

Needless to say - I'm in pain just breathing and I sure can't work out. There is just no way I can take the pounding of my heart beat in my tooth. I'm severely disappointed as last week was the first week I exercised every day. I was hoping to do the same this week - but oh well - life happens and gets in the way of my exercise plans. It is always something....

So I'm gonna be a slacker this week but it's honestly not by choice!

later gaters :wave:

I'm sorry to hear that, Cathy! I hope you feel better soon.

I also love Leslie's chatter...I occasionally mute the TV and put on music, but more often than not, her encouragement is needed and welcomed.:)

I did 3 fast miles this morning (seriously, this is a GREAT workout...I sweat buckets, lol).

I'll go Walk And Kick this evening.

cathyxxx-I work with the before and afterschool programs with the YMCA(even though I get a free membership and live right down the street), I workout at home. I have my schedule set to were I do strength training on the days I do before and after school. It gives me 4 hours to work out but sometimes it's hard to pry away from the computer. I try to workout before the afterschool because that's more hectic and after chasing kindergarteners around I don't feel much like it. If I do feel like it, I don't have to worry about 30 minute HAVE TO and then I'll add a quick leslie workout(that's what I love about the 1 miles. ^_^) I hate my job sometimes but the schedule is almost perfect for me to fit in all my exercise. ^_^
