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!

I would like to join too!

KatyBritto13

My so far is:

95/1500

I'd like to sneak in here too and have a go - starting low and aiming for 750. To achieve that I need to get in 30 minutes of exercise on 25 out of the 31 days in August....that's doable!!!

Tick me off for a half hour of swimming already ...

120/750

I want to give this a shot.  So far this month, 270/2000.

Guess I'll join the fun here as well :o)

320/2000

20/750

120/2000

216 / 1750

(I'm assuming we post our totals, right?  Well, anyhoo, here's my total so far.)

60/1250

I'm ok with being put in the 750 group, but don't know if I'll make it. If I do it's extra icing on my exercise cake! (I have a really active job, so generally walk/run 7200 minutes a month outside of extra activity... but come September and the start of school, you can expect to see me in the 1500 or 2000 group :P)

Anyways, updated my exercise to:

50/750

170/1750

207/1500

230/1000

351/2000

90/2000
