Roll Call - July 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!

August 2008 Exercise Challenge.

We are in need of volunteers to help with the timekeeping.
If you have participated more than 3x, and you can commit to 5-10 minutes a few times a week, PLEASE contact me (mcderin).  Thank you!

I didn't make my secret goal of 1500 (wont be able to work out tonight because of an office party) but i do know that 1500 is attainable and that'll be my goal for next month.

Congrats to everyone that met their goals and an equally good job to those that worked their hardest to get there!
