Where is everybody?????

I did the 1 mile Super Challenge today! That may be it for the day. I think I'll go up to school (I'm a teacher), and start work on my room before next week's meetings get in the way! Besides, I have 2 kids to help me put tape on posters!

Have a great walking Friday!

i am new
 

I am new to this site. i was reading your thread and got really interested... i have written down the first weeks duties.. but i need more give me please..

O what does this mean when you say 1 mile 15 for abs and what is a ab belt?

I did 3 miles this morning! First, I did the original Walk Strong with 3 pound weights--BOY are my legs feeling all those lunges :eek: ! It's the first time I've done that one, but it felt good. Then I did the 1 mile Express with the stretchie. I've got 15 miles this week. Hopefully, the scale will start to show my accomplishments soon.

Have a great Saturday!

i dont have the movies or the book.. so whats walk strong? i am starting this this coming monday.. i start everything on a monday cause thats what day i weigh myself..


My hubby is goin walk with me every night.. since it gets to be about 100 degress here every afternoon walking at night is cooler...

hi sugarbutt: walk strong is the name of a WATP video..

but whats great about WATP,is you dont need the book or the video's

just walking around your neighboor counts

the general rule of thumb is

leisurely walk : 1 mile in 30 min
moderate walk: 1 mile in 20 min
brisk walk 1 mile in 15 min

and the basic moves from the book, should you decide to do some inside are

1. walk in place
2. side steps
3. kicks
4. knee lifts

then cool down .. i can send you info on these moves, if you like, but remember you can just walk with your husband and it still counts, refer back to the miles and time above for a general idea of how much you are doing. .


great to have you join us
your new friend,
lisa

Wednesday: unstructured
Thursday: 2 miles- 36 min
Friday: 1 mile-18 min
Saturday: 3 miles - 60 min

*note* unstrutered does not mean no excersise, this allows you to take a break from the norm, but still park a lil farther from your destination, take the stairs instead of elevator/escalator, take some time to do some gardering... etc

well i was goin start walking yesterday but it rained all day... i tried that walking in place i felt so stupid.. so i then did lunges in place and high knee lifts i felt the burn.... you can send me anything you want about fitness i am alway ready to do something new....

I did the 2 mile WATP Abs workout this morning. I'm expecting a new tape in the mail this afternoon (Muscle Mile), so I'll probably do it when it arrives.

Hope everyone is reaching their goals!

i went to the gym and i got on a tredmill i did a 5 mile course with hills and things jeeze my legs hurt so bad... i didnt go today becuase they hurt so bad and i slept in tomorrow i am goin to do that same 5 mile thing again.. it didnt seem to take that long well i klinda read a book but it wasnt that long at all... maybe ill time myself and make a goal to do it faster each time... 5 miles aday is that to much?

5 miles a day is awesome! Just be careful, if you're new to this sort of thing! You also may want to include some strength training on opposite days so your muscles get worked in different ways.

Great job! Keep walking!
