Description
Are you ready to BOOST the results of your walk?

It’s EASY and FUN! We recommend that you start with the Bonus SESSION . This is where Leslie shows you the Top 10 Walk Moves and teaches you how to BOOST each one. After that, you can dive right into the 5 miles—in any way that you like.

You can walk a gentle mile and then a boosted mile. You can walk two miles without boosting anything and then boost the next two. Or you can even opt to boost only some of the moves within each mile. You have the freedom to do whatever is right for you! Walkers that range from beginners all the way to advanced can all get a great workout! AND with the five different 1-mile sessions, you can also customize your workout time.

If you have 30 minutes for your Monday walk, you can do two miles. If Tuesday is busy, sneak in a single 15-minute mile to keep yourself on track. Then for the days when you do have the time and the energy, you can walk all 5 miles and BOOST AWAY! Customize your workout time AND your workout intensity. This is YOUR walk!

You can pre order it here: (Nov 10 release date)

Sneak Peek Video of the NEW Leslie Sansone: 5 Boosted Miles

I received an advanced complimentary blogger copy of the book “Hoodwinked” in exchange for my thoughts and opinions of this book on my blog and social media. All opinions are my own.

Book Description:
Moms have been hoodwinked—tricked into believing lies that keep them from not only enjoying motherhood, but forging friendships with other moms who might tackle the tasks of motherhood differently. Myths such as “Mothering is natural, easy, and instinctive” cause moms to feel like failures if they have questions or apprehensions in raising their kids. Operating from the premise that “The way I mother is the right (and only) way” puts up fences between moms instead of building bridges of encouragement between them. Lies such as “I am my child’s choices” tempt moms to mistakenly believe that if their child makes a wrong choice then they, in turn, must be a bad mom.

A six-session video Bible study for group or individual use is also available.

Candace Cameron Bure will be hosting a book club on her site so everyone can read through the book together if you have an interest. There will be blab sessions with the authors and great weekly giveaways including a Kitchen Aid stand mixer in a cool retro color!

I can’t wait to join this book club study and I hope you all will join me too! I will post my review once I have completed reading it.

I am so excited to be partnering with a new obstacle race next year! It’s called “The Ninja Challenge” and is located in Raleigh, North Carolina. I live in southwest Virginia so it’s only a couple of hours drive from my home.

I’ve previously partnered with The Color Run, Color Me Rad, and Pretty Muddy obstacle course; so I can’t wait to see how “The Ninja Challenge” compares.

The Ninja Challenge is a 5k obstacle race that will see if you are fit to walk the path of a ninja warrior. While anybody can run, only ninja can run up walls. The Ninja Challenge goes beyond a simple race and will truly test your athleticism. Running becomes only half the battle when you face our obstacle course that only a true ninja can complete.

This race is designed to be fun for all skill levels! Obstacles will rely on your strength, balance, dexterity, and stamina. There will be volunteers helping out at each obstacle and we recommend running in groups so you can work as a team.
