Roll Call June 2011 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.
Some fresh sites on where to look to get some guidance and ideas for working out:
Simple ideas and inspirations for adding exercise and activity to your day
Sign ups always open -- do not post a goal until you have actually worked out!!
Please post in the following format - accumulated time worked out/ goal
it is your responsibility to keep track of your totals the timekeepers can not do this for you- also post new post and don't update an older post as the timekeepers work from last post to the post of the last person who updated.

Yoga, last night. Had the wife and both kids with me!
1055/2000 ... trying to go hard and get my minutes in nice and early this month ... going on vacation last week in June and won't be doing anything more strenuous than sunning my buns on the beach ... the most exercise i plan to do is walking from the ocean back to my lounge chair so I've gotta make my minutes before then! 
Was up north at my parents and only managed to get in 65 minutes on one day of added exercise while gone, but I am back home and ready to go again.
600/2000 - 30 minutes of swimming
Would have lasted at least twice as long, but even while doing laps and other water exercise the chilled breeze was too much, Brrr!
