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!

figurethefat - Thanks for catching my mistake.  Everyone should be correct now

I really didn't feel like exercising today but I made myself get out there for a walk anyway... 215/1250

90/750

195/1500

325/1250

383/1250

Catching up, wedding rehearsal and wedding kept me from inputting at the time

30 - 7/3 walking to/from rose garden and around it in the rain...
54 - 7/4 hotel gym
45 - 7/4 dancing at wedding (not usual activity so I'm counting it)
61 - 7/5 hotel gym

Good chance that I'll not get anything at my nieces house. Not unless I walk their neighborhood. Better chance at brother in laws Mon/Tue since he has a treadmill.

Way to go kajikit keep pushing yourself! This is a lifestyle change we are making! Keep at it!
