Roll Call!!! September 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!

60/1250 - to many days this month that I won't be able to workout, plus overtime at work. So this is an aggressive number but still less than last months' 1500.

100/2350 aim is to beat last month, which shouldnt be too bad since i was injured last month

35/1000 I have faith in this goal. Maybe I will surpass it <3

105/1500

I really hope I can do this one.... I've got school this month so I'm gonna just have to squeeze it in this month!

77/1500

I have a triathlon this saturday so i may not get as much exercise in from tapering my workout up to the tri.

Also if anyone is going to be at the Lake Geneva tri series this next saturday let me know, we can meet up at the after party!

120/2200  

My goal this month is just 5 minutes more than last month!  :)

This might be tough considering schools starting but hey, it's worth a try!

Thanks again for this motivation, I really didn't want to run but knew I didn't want to start the month out behind 

School is starting now but I can definitely do this still!!!!!!

My goal's a hundred minutes more than last month... 2200!

I really like this challenge, it keeps me very motivated to meet my goal.
