Roll- Call July Exercise Challenge

This month we are doing things a bit different.  We are not doing a sign up thread  - to participate simply post your time and your goal time and we timekeepers will add you to the list. 


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 for it!!!

The American Heart Association offers a free online excercise tracker and lots of information to improve your heart heatlh.

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.

Let the fun begin!!!!

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

IE  60/1500

We timekeepers can not keep track on your accumalitive times for you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


My special thanks to the volunteers who are helping me keep this thread going and updated.  Thank you all so much- dbackerfan

this months volunteers are :

mcderin
wantstolose
beachica
willowraven
vrykolia
jem599

Some of the time keepers from June have disappeared and we are in need of volunteers.  If you can help keep the times updated (especially afternoons EST) would be appreciated.  Please send a private message to this mailbox or dbackerfan.  Thank you.

***Important announcement******

Also I normally start a sign up thread on the 15th but since so many people sign up and never to return to the website or actually participate next month we will do it differently.  You won't need to sign up just come and post your time and goal time and we timekeepers will just add names to the list as we go.  This will also allow newcomers to participate mid month if they want.

Thank you.

We are also in need of new volunteer timekeepers.  If you would like to help out send a private message to either me or "exercise-challenge" user above.  Thank you.

Relatively new to this site (I've silently been reading the forums for a month or so now), and I'm not sure I understand how this challenge is supposed to work.

You write the time you spent exercising and the time you are hoping to spend exercising every week?  Or..what?  I'm not quite sure I get it.

Fill me in; I'm interested, but a little confused. :-)

750 is my goal again.
It's gonna be a busy month.

WE aren't taking names this time before the challenge starts.   We had so many people sign up never to return again so this month we the timekeepers will add the names as people post their times. 

I am also in need of timekeepers So PLEASE let me know if you might be interested.  If we get enough it would only be about 5 minutes a day.

If you are new to this site chekc out June's thread for an idea of how this all works.

THANK YOU FOR THIS CHALLENGE! I AM IN.

0/300

this is great because I won't feel too bad about not reaching 750 in June.  my time is 0/400

and I am interested in being a timekeeper.

1000 is my goal.

Hi,

I'm aiming for 750 again in July.

I also have a suggestion.  I have been keeping my own time with a ticker, so that I only need to report my accumulated time to the forum 2 or 3 times a month.  This cuts down the workload of the volunteers and yet keeps enough motivation for me.  I am wondering if this will help out in the situation.

Thanks a lot!  I really appreciate the people who are involved in this! 

Thank you so much for your time and devotion to this thread.
Good Luck Everyone!!  I'll be aiming for 750 again.  I was going to go for 900, but we're going on vacation...so It'll have to wait til I get back and work up the nerve, lol.

I wish I could help you out in July as a time keeper, but I will be gone 2 weeks out of the month.  I'll be checking in where free wifi is available but not regularly.  Probably won't be back until Aug 2/3 but will be able to help as long as it's ok I'm late. Thanks, again.

Goal for July

1000 minutes

WE ARE NOT TAKING SIGN UP THIS MONTH -- ONLY POST YOUR TIMES AND GOAL CHALLENGE WHEN THE MONTH STARTS.

ALSO THE ONLY TIME CHALLENGES AVAILABLE ARE LISTED ABOVE

Bumping up getting ready for those who will be participating in July!!!  Think our folks on the other side of the pond are having the First of July already!!!

To participate in this month's challenge simply post your time and your goal time IE

30/750  then the timekeepers will start to add names to the lists.  The times available are in top post.

REmember to keep track of your total yourself the timekeepers are not able to do this for you. 

Thanks also to our new timekeepers for July.
