Support Groups - April Walking/Exercise.....(#1)

Post your daily Walking or Exercise here!! :strong:


Come on.......Make a goal!! Let's motivate one another to reach our goals! Please join us!!! :)

My walking goal for April is 35 Miles. Also, my goal is to do sit-ups nightly!! :jig:

Sherry

Sherry check back on march walking thread.....I pose a challenge for us girls.

Dee-I like your idea. The goal will probably take me a year, though!! I think we can get maps on the net that would give us the mileage. If that doesn't work, I'm going for 100 this month.

Shelley maybe we can inspire some of the other girls to help us out. Hey we could count 20 minutes of moderate exercise as a mile or 10 minutes of heavy exercise as a mile.

Once we get approval from the boss..........we will put the call out for help.

10 miles biking today
3 walking

Total 13 miles

4.5/4.5/100

Tuesday 1st:
Walked 1 Mile
25 Sit-ups


**Dee....That sounds like a fun idea!!!!! Hey Shelley & Debbie.... (and the rest of the gang who will post their walking/exercise)
what do you suggest do get this started!!??? I'm all open for ideas!

Welcome to my place!!!!

Sherry I suggest that we take the mileage from January 1 including the activity time too. One mile for 10 minutes some what hard exertion, 20 minutes for moderate exertion, 30 minutes for low exertion.

Can you come up with the total miles and see if we can challenge anyone else to help us get to your place?

Dee-Is that total of 2160 to your house from Sherry's or from Ft Myers? I'm too stupid to figure it out!! Right now I will start with mileage to Sherry's house from Jan. 1. I have gone 323 miles this year.

0/323/1344

Shelley I thought that we could do this as a group thing, we could all work together and see how long it takes. We are all crashing at your place to join you on the journey. First trip to Sherry and Debbie's is 1344 miles. Once there we will rest up and party then continue on to my place which is 816 miles.

Now if we get the total of everyones miles we can see how far we went since January 1.

Okay, now I understand!!
Nothing for me today, I'm too tired. I think this weekend has caught up to me.

Wednesday:
Walked 1 Mile
25 Sit-ups
30 Min. Basketball

1/2/35

**Dee.....I figured up my miles since Jan. It's not too good. :( I had BAD months in Jan. & Feb. I didn't start doing good until March.WOW SHELLEY.....323 MILES!!! WTG!!!!!! :cp:
My poor pitiful miles so far this year is only "58 miles." I'm doing better though!!:D

Sherry

9/22

I will try adding up miles tomorrow for our group. You did ok Sherry just keep at it.

I'm not sure how to get involved in this. My exercise is all at the gym. I take spinning classes, not really measured in miles...some days I'll work out on a precor and do free weights too. Should I base it on time spent? I'd like all of you to come visit me in California!

Jeanne it would be great if you could join in. We could use all the help that anyone is willing to offer. After Canada we will head down and see you too.

10 minutes hard exercise = 1 mile
20 minutes moderate exercise = 1 mile
30 minutes very light exercise = 2 miles

Hey everyone you can include racking, pond digging, gardening, cleanning. Just base it on intensity.

I have .........

Shelley down for 323 miles
Sherry down for 58 miles plus your activity?????
Darlene down for 437miles
Doni down for 26 miles

Total 844 miles.

Debbie can you add your miles up.
Sherry can you figure out your activity miles?
Jeanne how about figuring out yours for the year.
Jennelle could we have your mileage since January 1?

Anyone else that has done some activity (like pond building....lol) can you give us a total?

Shelley approximately how many miles are you from Tampa? It is showing around 800????? Is that right?

This is how far we have come.......

Sherry

Well this is just an estimate, but I probably ride about 10 miles every time I spin and I spin an average of 3 times per week....I've been doing this for about 6 weeks so that has to be 180 miles since Feb. 24th.

Thank you Debbie and Jeanne for figuring out your mileage. Now all we need is Gayle's pond workout and Sherry a ball park figure of mileage for your activity.

Sherry get ready for us......we are only 321.4 miles away.

If we can get everyone to help us out by pushing it just a little further than we wanted to go we will be there in no time at all.

According to our route we have made it 99 miles past #14. We are in Tennessee!!!!!

:dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy:

Dee, I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you want(I AM blond, you know) but,
I probably get about an hour per day of fairly strenuous activity....
unpacking boots(my average order weighs around 600 pounds), bending and stooping to help people try on boots and I walk back and forth from the repair shop to the front of the store an average of 40 times per day.
I hope this helps!

Ramona thanks for helping us move closer to Sherry's and Debbies place. Since January 1 if you worked 5 days a week, that would make 68 days at an hour a day. We will count it as moderate activity. Twenty minutes = 1 mile. You did 60 minutes so you contributed 3 miles a day. Total 204 miles.....you Rock Ramona. Now if you could post a total for me each week, it will bring us closer to Canada. Let's party!

YIPEE YIPEE HERE WE COME......GET READY FOR US SHERRY AND DEBBIE. ONLY 117.4 MILES TO GO. :smug: :smug: :smug:

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please go to April Walking/Exercise #2......................See Ya There!! :wave:
