Roll Call July 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:

2140/2000  - Whew!!  Yay Me!!  Thank you timekeepers!

1986/1750 - well didn't make it to the next level, not unless I cound shopping later today. Did a shortened long run in Austin in my daughters neighborhood. It was to warm to continue, 82 deg, 90+ heat index, so I shortend a session and stopped.
