Okee ... me new to this thread too .. but will give it a shot and set my goal for 400 minutes for the month .. thats about 12-15 min a day I think?? I was doing almost that last month of one kind or another .. so should be able to do it ok and make it a breeze by next month. My August started yesterday and I did 37 minutes (I include fast housecleaning in my exercise cos I always build up a sweat when I get cleaning - is that ok??)
Sooo Group total ~ 63 + 45 (celery) + 45 (angiepants78) + 60 (toofatforu) + 37 (Katt) = 250 minutes!
Hey, I notice that many of our first posters are new to the thread! Welcome!! But it occurs to me that we need to show you how things work!
Just to let you all know we'd like you to add your minutes to the group total! That's how we keep track of monthly minutes AND get to 100,000 minutes as a group! It works like this:
Group total ~ 63 + 45 (celery) + 45 (angiepants78) + 60 (toofatforu) =213 minutes!
So, keep track of your minutes for you and help keep the groups running total!
Thanks! I was wondering who was going to add all this up. This is a very good system and forgive me for not doing it right.
Tonight I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes on the treadmill. I also did some kicks with one of the trainers, which was fun.
I am going to make the assumption that Heather (Wyllen) wrote out the names and times as a demonstration, because continuing to add them will get mighty long!

I figured as much, as I have seen the previous threads, but I didn't want to change anything just yet until it was confirmed...but of course it makes sense!
I would love to join I want to do a min. of 30 min. six days a week so that is 720 off to bad start because I didn't exercise today but have a great excuse my daughter had a baby today and we are traveling. So 720 to go
Nancy -- Yes, thanks for the clarification! I don't think we've had so many new people all at once!
Nancy is right. Take the existing total, show your minutes, and then give the new total (we show old + new because it helps us catch the occasional adding error!)
I did 58 minutes today: 28 min walking to and from lunch (in the sapping heat!) and lifted at the gym for 30 min.
I'll add Nelie's 40 minutes too!
Group total ~ 560 + 40 (from nelie) + 58 = 658 minutes
Okay, I just tallied the July minutes and added to our existing total, and, get this, we are at ....... *drumroll please* 91,536 minutes!!!
Yes, we are almost there! Watch for it, because we only need 8,464 minutes in August to meet our 100K goal!!!!!!!!! Yes, shortly, as a group, we will have done 100,000 minutes of exercise for the year. And there is so much more year left!!!!
Also, I'll be out of town from the 9th to the 15th with limited access and will need you all to whoop and holler if this happens while I'm gone, as I suspect it will!!!
Heather, thanks for the compliments on the haircut. LOL I took the picture myself in the mirror so could have been better! It certainly feels better!!!
Everyone has done such a great job on the exercise. Oh and I wanted to say... to those who didn't make your July goal please don't feel badly... hey you TRIED and you SET the goals and worked at them! Good for you! Keep up the good work!
Total: 45 minutes
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
