DAY 3!
POSTED
Nov 3Happy Wednesday Walkers!
In only 2 days you have already experienced the INSTANT RESULTS of feeling GOOD that you are doing something GOOD for your life! Now in the next few days, you may start to feel (and see) results you can measure. A little more room in your clothes perhaps? It does happen as soon as 3 or 4 days of fitness walking, especially if you are new to a regular routine! You can expect a lot from fitness walking … and soon you’ll see that Walk delivers!
Today’s Assignment
3 Mile Walk – Do all 3 at once or break it up and do 1 Mile in the Morning – 1 Mile Mid day – 1 Mile in the Evening!
No matter what style of walking you choose, you’ll put in about 45 mins. of exercise. This can be enough of a calorie burn to walk off the calories of a meal. What a big burn! Try your best at meals too. To “out eat” all that beautiful walking, oh, that would be a shame! I love good food just like most humans, but I remind myself, it FEELS SO GOOD to lighten up. I just don’t need that extra bite ….. (As I look at our last Reese Cup from Halloween …. LOL … actually it was those darn Butterfinger’s that got me this year! No worries … they were the fun size!)
EAT Smart & WALK Strong today my friends! Hmmmm … where have I heard this before? (smile)
Check out this short demo of Boosted Walking!

I'm going to do the 3 mile "AHA Start!" walk today. Love that one! :)
Good morning again Leslie and WAH's! I did the 3 mile super walk with mile two using body cables. Incredible. I can already feel my upper body getting more toned..and my thighs...let's just can I can feel the burn (smile).
There is something to be said for participating in this challenge with so many other walkers! It really does give you the motivation and inspiration to keep walking and do more than you thought you could ever do!
God bless!

It may be chilly but I always break a sweat when doing the 4 mile super walk with booster cables. Day 3 and I am committed! Thanks for all the inspirational messages from everyone. It keeps me going. After reading them all i get off the computer and get exercising!!
you're right Bethany and Leslie. I feel changes too, after doing the warm up last week (2 miles a day) and only 2 days of the challenge- I fit into a pair of pants I have't worn in months because they were too tight. I'm looking forward to more great changes. Bring it on!:)
Way to go gals! I can tell you're really committed to this challenge - so many benefits to be had from it and they can happen so quickly!! I'll be doing 2 miles in just a few minutes and another 3 miler tonight - isnt it awesome to think that no matter what time of the day or night we decide to do our walk, SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE is walking right along with us?! I love knowing that there are hundreds of us walking with Leslie for our best health and fitness! With so many walkers in this challenge its no wonder our motivation, inspiration, and determination is so high AND its FUN!!!!!!
It feels good to be on Day 3 of my 21-day pre-holiday challenge with Leslie Sansone. This morning I did the 3 mile Walk Away Your Waist dvd. I've been adding a mini-mile super walk in the afternoons. Those of you using the booster cables ~ Wow, are they powerful or what?! I used the 3-mile super walk with booster cables yesterday to get in that upper body workout. I can really feel how that is working my body for hours after a workout.
Got up at my 5 am alarm and did the 3 mile Sleek & Slim Pilates workout. I have not done this for a while and it was really fun to mix up some moves. In fact I can see where I'll be dusting off quite a few of my dvds this month. Workout #3 - done! Yay.
Day 3 and still going strong. Could have been a bad start to the day because I forgot to set my alarm for this morning, so the morning was a mad dash to get everyone up & off to school (we made it in the nick of time!). But I still managed to get my walk in, 4 miles from the walk slim dvd and I'm so glad I stayed on track, despite the minor catastophe of waking up late, lol. Feeling great! Keep up the awesome work everyone! Thanks Leslie!
Leslie, LOL That candy from Halloween- girl my children hid their trick or treat bags from us!!!!!! Good to know you like candy too!!!! As you know I own over 50 + of your dvd's- and just ordered a couple more..... I love the fact you are around my age- so I know if Leslie can do this I can too!!!! Im loving walking those 10 opps 11 miles is my goal each day for this month. Love Love Love you Awesome Leslie Sansone!!!!!!!!!!
I have a weakness for oreo cookies so I don't buy them. The girl up front has so much bad stuff, ie., cookies, candies, chips etc so I stay away from her desk. I am not a big candy fan and that works in my favor here. Walk on people! :)
Day 3 and still motivated! Bad news I gained 3.5lbs! Very frustrating. Right now main goal is to SUCCESSFULLY complete the 21 day challenge! Weight loss secondary goal because I love food too much!
Let's see, today I dusted off Leslie's Start Walking DVD I purchased Feb. 10 and actually completed the 1 mile beginner walk with Leslie! What an inspiring DVD! Leslie, I love your DVD!! Your 21 day challenge encouraged me to walk the 20 min beginner's walk! Love the steps and your positive instruction! God Bless
The last 2 miles of today's goal I spent on my treadmill. It's my personal time for prayer and enjoying the workout!
Most exciting of all: My sister & I spent 20 min. exercising again.
I may have gained weight but I FEEL GOOD!
God Bless You Leslie!
Good morning to all walkers it feel good knowing that i am not alone,it is great to see all of you walking along with me it really give me the will power to get up on mornings and get walking.I did 3 miles this morning from walk away the pounds for ABS.
I already have a lot of your Dvd's and love them. I did buy the 21 day challenge package. I like to exercise in the morning after my bus run. Although I was off yesterday and other things to do in the morning I did not exercise til 3pm. Even though I was tired it gave a a great boost of energy.
Thank you and I love your chats. Debbie
Three miles down with waistband and 2-lb weights! Have a good day everyone!
~Rebecca
I did 750 km on the treadmill last year and just hit 1300 km on my way to 1500 for the year.I do 40 minutes on th treadmill 6 to 7 times a week plus 35 minutes on free weights.Lost 23 lbs and 4 inches off my waist and have been off blood pressure pills now for 3 months.
Day 3: 3 Fast Miles!
I find that Yoplait Delights (100 calories) satisfies my craving for "dessert" like nothing else. Love it!
Today, I'm going to walk to my local 7-11 (exactly a 2-mile round trip per my car's odometer), get a nice cup of joe, and then choose one of my collection of Leslie's DVD's to finish out the challenge for today. Hmmm....how about one of the DVD's with boost cables?
I just finished day 3 and am still motivated. my question is if we are 21 days til thanksgiving what for challenge are we doing for xmas. I want to surprise everyone this year with the new me. Lets go walkers we deserve the best
Just finished 3 miles on the Walk Slim dvd. 3 miles in 37 minutes!!
I plan on Walk Slim 3 Fast Miles after work today. Day 3 and so far so good!
Day 3 of the 21 day challenge and like everyone going strong and feeling great!
Morning exercise was---3 mile AHA,
Mid day exercise---2 mile super walk using the boosted cables the entire 2 miles.
Will do the 3 mile--slim & sleek walk later plus the pilates at the end.
Love doing this challenge and like Melissa ask---what for Christmas?
We can do this walkers! Let's Go!!!
I planned on walking the 3mile slim this morning and my dvd player quick working on me, so I ended up outside walking the neighborhood for 3 miles. Guess I know what I'm getting for an early Christmas gift!
All the post sound great!!! Keep it up people!!! Your doing great!!!
Hi Walkers,
It is lovely to see all this people walking together. Keeps me motivated. I am walking for three weeks with Leslie and I want to tell you that previously I had some heart stings. I started about 3 moths agao to watch how much I eat too and also small walks ( walked for two and a half bus station). After three months of walking by myself and with Leslie I can tell you that I am 15 kg off, I am not getting tired imediatelly and the heart stings vanished. So guys, Leslie is right, walking is very good for our health.
In what concern the challange: I did three miles Superwalk with weights and 40 Abs will follow :)
Just did my workout. 3 mile walk for Abs video. I like that one, goes by fast :) I have 3 days behind me now. That is really saying something for ME! You all are an encouragement. I look forward each day to coming here and posting that I did my work out!
Day 3 and I feel great AND I just finished a 4 mile jog! I'm definitely going to keep up with this challenge! I have a weekend getaway coming up at the end of the month and I want to feel good about myself and maybe buy something nice...maybe something another size down!! :)
Good luck to everyone doing this challenge!!
Day 3 completed......I did 2 miles from the 5 mile fat burning dvd and 2 miles from aha dvd.
Today I did leslies 3 mile super walk with the booster cables. I've made it three days so far. I'm looking forward to having good results after 21 days. Have a sunny day everyone.
Leslie I think this 21 day Challenge is great and I just want to say thank-you for motivating myself and pleanty of others! Between the support that I get here and on Facebook a girl has some sisters and brothers in sweat! It is Day 3 of the challenge and everyone is doing a amazing job! I got in 3miles with your iWalk and 65 mins of other exercise. I hope you, the WAH Team and all my sis & bros in sweat have a great day!
Leslie, I was so bummed I missed Monday and yesterday was miserable and totally unmotivated, but today I did 3 miles. I am officially with you now :)
Oh, I forgot to tell you, Leslie.......I did your 3 Mile from 'On Demand' TV. It's free!! I had a choice of your 1-, 2-, or 3 mile. I could have been a weanie woman, but I did the 3 mile. I ache in places in didn't know i have. Thank goodness tomorrow is only 1 mile (plus weight training.) :) :) :)
4 miles down
Hi Leslie! It's Jodi from Jodi's Walking Crew on FB. I love the streaming videos this month! Fast fast fast! I have been walking with you since Janurary and I am 60+ lbs down! I have a suggestion, would love to see 3 miles in 30 mins, basically jogging the whole time...or mix the two fastest miles from 5 advanced miles + mile 2&3 from 4 big miles, maybe stream that one next Month or release it on DVD. I often repeat the miles in order to get 4 in! Just a few suggestions! I LOVE the iWalk! The music is GREAT! My Crew and I walk to you every day and post all about it on my page too.....thanks Leslie!
No walk for me today!:( My daughter is sick so I am running on about 2 hours of sleep. So I am planning on doing 4 miles and upper arms tomorrow! Felt bad that I did not walk, but I know my limits also. Please let me know what are your snacks during the day. I sure could use some different ideas! Thanks
I had been walking the 5 miles, until today, and decided to do the 3 mi and continue on Thursday with 1 mi + upper body. Easy. Trying to keep it up. I know I can. Thanks Leslie!
Great job. Keeping on track. Thanks Leslie!
I did the 5K Twist tonight for my 3 miles :0) Like to say I love seeing this blog and the boards and facebook so active for this challenge! Everybody is doing great and I'm really impressed with all of the early morning walkers! Personally....I'm not into getting up early before my 10hr work day for a walk but I LOVE walking off the stress of that day when I get home. Walking with Leslie always puts a smile on my face and the walk always takes my worries away! Thank You Leslie!
Three days into this and feeling GREAT! I feel so much better already.
Third day down. Walked 3 miles using the weights this morning before work. Just plain walked this afternoon. Going the do the other 3 miles on Walk Away the Pounds and then pop in the 5 Day slim down and hit a few real trouble areas like trim your tummy and sculpt you arms. Does anyone know the best of Leslie's dvd's to use to widdle away your middle?
Good day All :-) Feeling great day 3 of the challenge. Ate a little too much this evening, but managed 2 workouts today- AHA 3 mile (morning) and AHA 1 mile (evening). Thank you for motivating me. Peace.
Did my 3 mile with 3 mile smart walk with the cables. Feel better now that I got it done. I hate having to wait all day to work out.. thats just how it turned out today.. I usually get it done by noon. Have a great night walkers..
I am loving this challenge. Thank you so much for all that you do. You rock Leslie!!
Thanks for all you do Leslie! Starting at 52 yrs old and very unfit! I have been walking with you since April 2010 and I am down 47 poumds! I have eight more pounds to go for weight goal! This is just what I needed to keep motivated and walking! This challenge will help me to stay on track with my life long goal of being fit and healthy. Again, thanks!
This just got posted to my feed at midnight on the 4th. The blog posts should be going out the night before or in the morning. I should have been receiving the 4th one - I saw the 3rd post on FB earlier today, but it didn't show up in my feed. Thought you all should know.
So happy to be participating. It is just what I needed!
Finished my 4 fast miles late at night..but I got it done! ;)
And to Jeannie above.. I'm 53 and i've lost 45 lbs since May with Weight Watchers and Leslie... 10 more pounds to my goal..and I'm not stopping! I'm determined to get in shape..and STAY in shape!
today i did 7 miles...and i am lovin it!!!
I decided to try the challenge and just signed up for the Walk Club. I really enjoyed the iWalk 3 Miles. It is great not to have to decide which of my DVD's I feel like doing. I love it that Leslie has our miles all figured out for us. I am hoping to lose some weight. My goal is to get 20 lbs off by April.
Good Morning to All, I just did the 1 mile and upper body for today. Feel like doing 2 extra miles, but I wait until later on in the day. Got to love it... I am totally Boost this morning!!!
I love the inspiration this challenge has given to me! On Monday, I did the 3 Mile super walk with body boost cables; Tuesday, I did the walk slim series 3 fast miles; and on Wednesdy, I did WATP Express 3 mile walk with the toning band.
Today, I think I am going to do the 3 mile walk away your waistline with walk belt or I may do a 2 mile dvd and then a 1 mile. Throughout the day, I have been sneaking in extra steps. I am loving watching the steps and miles add up while also working on my upper body! Thank you Leslie Sansone- you are the best personal trainer.
