Roll Call February 2012 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?
It is 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.

Hanno - sorry to hear about the stress fracture!

Congratulations to all who made their goals - there were a bunch that did. Me, well I blew it big time this month... but there is always next month to get back on the wagon and get out there and MOVE!!!

Tiegurl - hang in there! C25K is a great program. Remember to keep it slow and not run to fast, a mistake tha almost all new runners make (I know I did!). Slow and steady and let speed come later. Time on feet counts more.
