Roll Call!! November 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!!!

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.

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!

2686/2400. I think this is it for November, I'm going to rest tomorrow.

600/1250

Thanks again timekeepers! I'll see you next month!

1830/2000  (Edited for bad math... still looks like I won't make my goal, though, barring a grueling workout tomorrow.)

1930/2000 back home, ran thru airports, am in range of making higher goal.

Is there going to be a December exercise challenge??

1990/2000 - will need to do some more walking to reach goal. Will be easy - Wife wants to go to Sam's club! Hope the 10 min of walking doesn't cost me to much!

keb1984: I'd bet there will be a December exercise challenge

Congrats to all who met their goal -- for those that didn't, well, you tried, and that's more than many of us can say.  Good Job!

There will definitely be a December challenge -- look for it by the end of today.

910/1250

2050/2000 45 min in Sam's club and 15 in Micheal's shopping for candles and wool... go figure! At least this is all I'm counting...

See ya'll next month... oh that's tomorrow morning!

2025 / 2000

In the end, I just couldn't accept coming in so close to goal and not finishing... so climbed onto the elliptical with a long movie playing and just pushed and went for it.

Now if you'll all excuse me, I need to go crawl into a corner and not move for three days... LOL.  (Except, I guess tomorrow I need to climb back on and get started for the December challenge, don't I?)
