Roll Call!! May 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:

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!

May as well start as I mean to go on..     i'm in for 2000

good luck to all

first timer so 1750 for me...woohooo!

I'll shoot for 1500 this month!

I almost made it to 1750 last month, so that's what I'll shoot for this month :)

Lets go for 1500

1000 minutes!

gonna be a rough month, but I'm still going to shoot for 2000 minutes. I have a lot of travel and a possible relocation effort starting. Well some of it might result in a lot of walking around so I'll keep the 2000 min target.

Edit: I'm gonna take an early credit for 15 min of stretching this morning. Don't know that I'll get much more in today with all the running around my wife wants to do on LI - mmm, could mean I can count walking around the stores since I don't do that everyday like she does...

Just a reminder only post your goal once you've started minutes to post then we will add you to the list of participants.  In the past we've had people sign up but never return so that is why we don't do a sign up anymore just post as you go.

Thank you to all the volunteers who have kept this going in my abscence I will try to do better by participating more myself once again!!
