O0o yes I'd love to join! I really want to up my exercise and get back to my routine.

So my plan is run 3x a week for 25 minutes each time.. so a total of 75 mins per week so 300 minutes running this month.
I also want to go to zumba once a week which is an hours class so that's 240 minutes zumba this month.


So goal is:
run 3x a week
Go to zumba once a week
= 540 minutes exercise this month.

Oh, this sounds like something I could use. More to set realistic goals now and feel proud for reaching them. I've been setting extra goals every other day the past month driving myself a bit nuts because after doing SO MUCH I still felt like I didn't do enough. Hihi.

- So this month I am starting strength training, for it to be effective I should do that 3x a week.
- Running NO MORE than 4x a week (I was developing shin splints)
- Swim 1 x a week
- Walk the dogs briskly and briefly every morning to get my body started

Last month was successful and my ankle seems to be holding up okay so I will increase my goal this month.

I do have a very busy April scheduled so I hope I can fit my exercise in on those crazy days.

Goal: 1200 min

Well I ran my 25 mins yesterday . Today's plan is to go to zumba. I'm shy cos I've not been to this class before (and I'm not very good at zumba and only been a couple times but do love it) so I'm hoping by saying it here I'll actually do it! Hold me to it guys!
And then Tuesday then Thursday are my next run days.
