Roll Call October 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:

61/1500

scaling back goal this month. Daughter's wedding and cutting back running because of left leg issue with ove 2 :15 hr long runs.

40/1750

Didn't quite make it last month, but will work harder this month :)

50/1500

Scaling back too.  most of my numbers come from my mammoth bike rides to/from work, and I see those coming to an end soonish, plus I'm at off-site meetings all next week that are not a bikable distance. Ah well.

50/1750 I think October will be a lucky month 

20/1250 And she's off . . . like a herd of turtles!

45/1250

Was close last month so I intend to make my goal this month. Good luck everyone and keep moving!

26/3000

30/1000

70/1250

30/1500 Looking forward to making & surpassing this month. 2 weeks of rain is highly unusual here in October...so, no rainouts for practices and games this month hopefully!!

111/1500

110/1500

Didn't make it last month due to lazy habits. We're going to try and break them this month. 

105/2000 ...

came up short by only 50 mins last month!  DARN IT!!  Won't let that happen again this time around!!  Thanks timekeepers!!

30/750

Not sure if I'm doing this right -- I didn't see anywhere to sign up, but I did 30 minutes "Walk Away the Pounds" in front of the TV this morning, so I hope that counts.
