Roll Call November 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:

48/1500 ~ Completed my first day of 1/2 marathon training.  I did an easy 2 mile run with yoga and a soak in the hut tub for good measure.  Happy Fitness to All!!!!

I'm in. Tried this about a year ago and failed miserably. Now I'm 70 pounds lighter and dedicated to eating...so I need to exercise! ha ha I'm also out of work and don't want to end up on my butt all day, so I'm going for it! Sign me up for 2000+ I'm hoping to get to 2200, but we'll see...

Here's my workouts so far this month:

• Nov 1 - 0
• Nov 2 - 30min elliptical + 71min hike = 100
• Nov 3 - 60min & 50min treadmill = 110m

I'm at 210/2000

I'll update on Saturdays, my day off. Hope everyone has a great month!

I'm only a beginner and i think 750mins is enough for me, and I really admire you people who are shooting for 1500 or 2000min... I could never do taht much...respect!

We (at least I) could never do that much but it's amazing what (with determination) you can work up to after a few months.
