Roll Call!! August 2008 Exercise Challenge

How much do you want to exercise a month?
How can you push yourself out that door when the last thing you want to do is go to the gym?
Easy - Challenge yourself!!!
Pick a goal and work towards it!!!

What is exercise you ask?
Its whatever you do over and above your normal everyday activity. If you start taking the stairs instead of the elevator due to your wanting to improve your health this is exercise - if you park further from the door and walk extra - this is exercise. However if your work requires you to be on your feet running around all day - this is lifestyle and not exercise and should be added to your "activity level" in your account. I think its important for you to be honest with yourself so you will truly get the benefit of this challenge.

Some fresh sites on where to look to get some guidance and ideas for working out:

Keep track of your time and post your accumalative totals daily or weekly whichever you prefer.

Please post your totals in this format:

Minutes done/goal time so we can more easily find which section you are in

Example: 60/1500


The timekeepers don't keep track of your accumulative times for you.

************************PLEASE READ*********************

Please do NOT post until you have accumulated some minutes towards your goal.
We are no longer adding people until they actually have times to post.

Thank you!

25/1000

35/1500 - am going out on a limb for this one. Almost got there last month. Will be on vacation next week. will still wog the c25k wk3, but none wog days will have to be home body weight workouts.

86 / 1750

I'm really bumping up my minutes this month because I plan on biking to & from the gym twice a week (in addition to my regular stuff).  We shall see how it all works out...

50/2500 - Still walking but will add some other activities this month, too.

63/2000

70/1500

I'm going to try and go above and beyond one last time, since school starts in September and I won't have nearly that much time to get this much exercise in.

Here we go this month I'm going to try for 3000.  

146/3000

108/2000

50/1500 did a lot of running around at work today - between buildings and the temp as >100! So I'm taking a little credit for it...

105/2000

80/1500

***Edited 7:30am EST by augette***

I'm in at about double what I did my first month with CC. 55/1250.  Hobey ho!!

20/1000 as of yesterday because that was the 1st. will probably be adding more today. (hopefully)

120/1500

Feels good to start a new month! Anyone else primarily logging their minutes from cycling? I rewarded myself from last month with a bicycle computer & a polar HRM. This way i'm getting more quality out of my workout minutes.
