300+ New Exercise for a New Year!
Welcome!!
to the January exercise thread! We're making exercise a habit, giving ourselves some accountability, and getting healthier in the process!
In this thread, we track the number of MINUTES we exercise for the month -- whether it's walking or swimming or sweaty housework! Most of us set goals for ourselves (I personally will not exercise much without a goal). If you are a goal-setter, early in the month set your own goal! If you're just getting started, feel free to start with a smaller number of minutes (I did!), maybe just a few hundred. It seems easier for many of us to build on the habit rather than meet a very high goal right away. However, you can also just jump right in without a goal, and you can join us anytime in the month!
We invite you to join us!
To keep track, just add your minutes to the existing group’s minutes. If you’re new, look at what other people are doing – it’s pretty easy to figure out! To help everyone keep things straight, please note the OLD minutes and the number of NEW minutes you are adding, such as
Group total ~ 500 + 50 = 550 minutes.

Thanks, Heather, for getting us started. I am so ready for a New Year's resolution to get me re-started with exercise.
My goal for January is a minimum of 15 minutes of intentional exercise daily, or a total of 465 minutes minimum. I'd much rather get to 1000, but I want to set a manageable goal, and I haven't really been in the exercise habit since about September.

I'm going for 600 min this month. I used to do so much more but a bigger number intimidates me right now.
20 min today!
Group total ~ 15 + 20 = 35 min!
