Hey girls :) Here we are , yet another month. FIgured I would get the thread started for you all so you can get ready to come on over here and keep kicking hiney! :) I just came from the July thread and congrats again to all of you on your workouts. You are all amazing!

To those of you who would like to join in....please feel free. All are welcome and we are here to post our minutes/goals to hold ourselves accountable and to help support and encourage one another.

We all have various goals and different fitness levels, there is no wrong or right here whether it be 10 min. a day or walk 3x a week, etc. We tailor our workouts according to our own best individual needs. THe girls here rock and are very supportive so if you should be just starting out don't hesitate :).

With that being said...........I will make a goal of 1000 minutes again for the month of August. Thanks girls :hug:

Ooooh, I'm the first to reply? Whoa! Cool!

Okay, so here's what I'm shootin' for this month~

Continue HIIT 3 Days a week
Continue ST'ing (Strength Training) 3 Days a week

I'm going to add...

C25K (the Couch 2 5K) Program 3 Days a week

And I'm *thinking* about attempting Pilates this month--I'm not committing to doing it a lot or anything--just committing to trying it! :lol:

I look forward to another active month with you ladies!!! :)

:woohoo:

Alright this month, I'm gonna stick with the 2500 minutes of exercise and get in two workouts a day, six days a week.

For August I am going to do what I was supposed to do in July:

Complete a minimum of 850 minutes; complete a new EA Active 30 Day Challenge; work out 6 days a week

Ok, I'm joining, because I need some serious motivation to stick with it, and a kick-in-the-butt!

I plan on cardio every other day for 45 minutes and on opposite days for 35 minutes.

I'm in again. I am increasing my July goal by 10% to 880 minutes.

My Exercise goal for August is 1600 minutes.

This year I AM GOING to stick with my exercise when I go back to work on August 10th, so my goal for August:

Exercise at least 5 days a week.

Hey, :thanks: for explaining that acronym! I was having a hard time imagining what all this ST'ing was ;)

I think I am going to try weekly goals this time, except for stretching - just 15 min - every day. C'mon, I can find just 15 minutes to stretch out, right? My new exercise habit has made me quite stiff...

The very general goals:

1. Plan out the specific schedule each week (and stick to it!)
2. >3.5 hours cardio/week
3. > 1 hour ST'ing/week
4. 15 min stretching/day

FullSteamAhead: 1,000 min.
crazymamaof4: Continue HIIT 3x/wk, continue ST 3x/wk, add C25K 3x/wk, + trying pilates.
Delphi: 2,500 min. of exercise..get in 2 workouts a day 6 days a week.
NewShinyMe: Complete 850 min. minimum, complete new EA active 30 day challenge, and workout 6 days a week.
mygritsconfessions: cardio every other day for 45 min, + 35 min. on opposite days.
p7eggyc: Increasing goal by 10% to 880 minutes.
TERAPET: 1600 min. exercise
mamatoni: exercise at least 5 days a week
EmmaD: Plan out and stick to a specific schedule each week, 3.5 hrs.cardio/wk, 1hr. ST/wk, + 15 min. stretching a day.

Hi ladies.........nice to see you all. :welcome2: to our team for those of you who are joinin in and welcome back to us all : ).. THis is our master list so far.

Oooh, hey NSM~ I might have to join you on the EA Active 30 Day Challenge!! :) Hmm, would that be too much do ya think? I bet Delphi will say 'Heck NO!!! Just DO IT!!' ;) :lol:

LOL! On top of HIIT and C2K? You can always make it a light workout I guess.
I'd love to have you keep me company but only if you're not killing yourself in the process :D

Urg, I love ya NSM, but man, that EA Active just really burns me up. I get so mad when I turn it on, I just want to chuck it out the window, get my car, run over it and then shift to reverse and run over it again. :lol: I'm trading it in to gamestop this weekend for Punch Out. Sorry ladies!

Oooh Delphi! You really, really hate it don't you? :lol: Hmm, I wonder...should I trade mine in before I even try it? ;) Nah...I think I'll give it a go and if I hate it as much as you do--I'll trade it in. :)

NSM~ I think maybe I'll do the EA challenge on the days that I do the C25K, maybe do one early in the morning and one at night? Hmm...I tell ya what, I won't flat out commit to doing it just yet, but I'll give it a go--why not? :D

OK, this is a first time for me. My exercise goal for August is to do yoga twice a week and to get in a good walk every day. I know it doesn't sound like much, but when I do it, it works for me.
