Roll Call!! April 2009 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:

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!

2086/2000 - that's it for me. Will be traveling tomorrow. Don't plan on counting the extra walking associated with it.

Congratulations on a great month!

2272/2000. Yay!

Tomorrow is a recovery day, so that's it for the month of April.

Feeling much better today.  My 15 min on the bike even turned into 60 minutes!  It feels great to be able to be active again.  I won't be making it to 1250 but I should be able to make it to 900 which is my minimum goal each month - averaging 30 minutes every day.  That is with missing almost a week due to being sick.

Original Post by k8today:

1458/1000 - I work out at night and don't post until the next morning.  Will I still be able to add my April 30th work out on May 1st for my grand total?

 Yes, you can update your total on the 1st and we will update it.

Congrats everyone on a very successful April.  We look forward to seeing everyone in the May challenge.
