Roll Call - June 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!!!

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

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:

Example: 60/1500


The timekeepers don't keep track of your accumulative times for you.

I made it!!!!!

1277/1250 Made it!

60 minute workout this morning and over the hump! Was able to make it in spite of drug reaction. July will be tougher. Have a weeks vacation and will be staying in 4 different places and only one hotel over an 8 day period. Complicated by generating a shin splint in my first street walk/jog session yesterday morning!

2002/1750

I've still got to go for a swim today... but as of this morning I'm at 945/1250

940/1250

1323 / 1250

This was a good month!

***Edited 4:33 pm CST by alle0299***

I swam for an hour this afternoon... sadly, my total for the month is only 1005/1250. But at least I passed 1000! (and since much of my exercise was swimming instead of walking, I burned twice as many 'exercise' calories as I did last month even though I did less minutes of exercise!) 

835/750

1045/1000

Now to see if I can top this next month!

2005/2000 It almost killed me but I did it!

1410/1500

Don't think I am gonna make it, but I got pretty close.   :-)

3165/2000

1000/1250

not bad, but not great! Thanks all!
