Roll Call - March 2007 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 for it!!!

The American Heart Association offers a free online excercise tracker and lots of information to improve your heart heatlh.
http://www.justmove.org/home.cfm

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.

due to the popularity of this challenge only folks signed up by the 1st of March will be able to participate - but this challenge happens monthly so stay tuned to for Aprils sign up!!!

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

THOSE WHO HAVE NOT CHECKED IN BY THE 15th WILL BE REMOVED!!!

I think everyone who participated reached a goal - and for some folks just starting is a great achievement and you should be congratulated as well.

I am so happy to see so many of you all shooting for even more minutes for this month!!!

Minutes done 5/Goal 750

I'm not on the list, but I did sign up yesterday, so I'm here whether you want me or not. I've never done one of these before, so if I'm not following the rules, please tell me.

I'll sign up for the 750min challenge. I don't know the rules either.

If it's not too late, I'd like to join up - hopefully I reached the March 1 deadline, as I just saw this.

Is this "total amount of time working out in the gym", or is this a "total amount of cardio/treadmill activity'?

Edit:  Let's move me to the 2000 challenge, please.  Thanks :)

60/1000

sign me up too, please

750 min challenge

I signed up in the other thread but do not see my name.  I signed up for 1000 minutes for this month.

Please sign me up for the 1250 Challenge, thanks

I signed up for 1250, but I'm not on the list. Can I still play?

90/2500

This list is not yet complete!  If you posted on or after the 26th of Feb you may not be listed- Will try to get a completed list this weekend. 



The rules are basically keep track of your time you work out - total time in gym is a bit "subjective" I think.  If you are standing around Bsing with someone thats not really working out!  Be honest with yourself to get the full benefit of this challenge!!  The idea is to exercise!

40 minutes done today (total) / Goal of 2000

Does horseback riding count?

april13-

I say it does!  Unless of course you ride daily in which case it's part of your lifestyle.  Otherwise, if you just went for fun, add it.  Here's a site that will help you calculate it.  I know that when I went a couple of months ago, I added it. 

That's my $.02

I have just updated the exercise challenge ticker in my profile. It will always have the most recent total.

So far: 15 (shovelglove) this morning.

Total: 15/2000

I would like to join the 750 challenge if it is still possible. I just joined and would love to kickstart myself. Thanks:)

85/750-I hate shoveling snow, but it is a great workout.

March is off to a good start I just spent 1 and 1/2 hours digging myself out so I could get to work today.
