Okay, here is the deal...
I'm very proud of myself for making Walk Away the Pounds a habit. I've walked at least 8 miles every week for the last 5 weeks. Many weeks, I'll walk 11 or 12 miles in the week. (Maybe not great for some, but from someone who NEVER used to exercise, I'm proud of myself.) The problem is that while I like the workout she gives, Leslie Sansone is driving me a little batty. All that "nice, nice, nice" and "everyday is a good day for a walk" was motivating at first...but now it is just annoying me. Basically, I"m just getting bored with this kind of walking and need to switch up my routine.
Since it was sunny today and a balmy 30 degrees
I decided to go for a 30 minute walk outside. Now, when I do WATP, I sweat. The 2 mile makes me sweat and the 3 mile makes me SWEAT. Walking outside today, I think that i walked two miles, I kept up a very brisk pace and even walked up some hills....but I'm not sure that it was the same intensity of work out as my WATP tapes. What do you think? Does walking outside for 30 minutes (at a pace that was brisk enough to allow me to talk in sentences, but just barely) count the same as 30 minutes of WATP?
Thanks in advance!
