Roll Call!! January 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!

85/1750 I am really going to challenge myself this month. Hopefully, I can make it. Way to start the New year.

Thank you timekeepers for keeping this challenge going. I love it.

30/1000

I am starting with a lower goal because I am starting NROLFW, so I will be doing less cardio.

70/2000 5m run this am. Hope to keep up the pace and get weight loss back on track.

keb1984 - exercise is exercise, count all the NROLFW work that you do, not just cardio.

60/1250  -- Hope this is a better month!  Thanks, timekeepers, for keeping us on the proper road.

31 / 1500 - yay for January!

December was pretty much a maintenance month for me. Now that the Christmas tree and all the extras that go with the season are out of the living room I have my workout space back. Back to the task at hand.

70/1000

With all the downhill skiing opportunities this month, I better make my goal!

I'm not expecting any big interrruptions to my routine this month so I'll go back to 1250 minutes. I'm going to TRY to exercise at least six days a week, but we'll have to see what happens!

Yesterday I started couch to 5K and today I went on a HUGE shopping trip and walked four miles. So I've got a good start! 165/1250
