I want to push things up a level. I was actually in better shape, in some ways, at 190 than I am now at goal weight because I had more of a mix in my exercise routine. So, two goals this month:

1300 minutes
8 workouts with the Wii or a DVD

I'll join you. I have been working out everyday, but I know with the holidays, and family visiting this month, and the kids being off on school break will definately throw a wrench in my workout schedule. My goal for this month is

900 minutes of exercise
to walk at least 90 miles this month.

That is 30 minutes a day and 3 miles a day. If I stick to what I am doing now, I should make it or possibly do more.

Hello everyone! I was a late joiner last month, but I did get in all my workouts. This challenge really pushed me. I love it! I'm still keeping with my same workout schedule Monday through Friday with a few minutes more of arms and abs added in afterwards for good measure.

Once again, I'll add a little red heart (♥) after I complete each days' workout.

Good luck to everyone!!!

Nov. 1 - Cardio Callanetics (30 minutes) & Tal Reinhart Facial Workout (20 minutes)
Nov. 2 - Callanetics Evolution (30 minutes) & Tal Reinhart Facial Workout (20 minutes)

There ya go! I decided to take Thanksgiving off. We always host it, and I get up at 5:30 to start cooking, so I'm not going to beat myself up for taking that one holiday off.

My goal will be 400 minutes of cardio. That seems laughable compared to the goals of others, but it will be more than I was able to complete in October.

Tabbycat, NO goal is a laughable one. Striving for any goal is worthwhile. Glad you're joining us for November!!


I'm in, and will shoot for the same goals as Sept and Oct (since I really had to push to meet them at the end of both months!): 20 days of exercise and 100 miles of running/walking/biking/whatever (any dedicated exercise for which I can track mileage).

I made up a personal challenge for myself, but I figure I can keep track of it here! My idea was that on NO day in NOvember would I say NO to exercise. Ha! So silly. Seriously though, I'm a beginner where exercise is concerned, and I just need to commit to doing something every day. That could mean a walk, a dvd, a mix of jumping jacks/push ups/crunches/lunges... Just some exercise daily.

I've lost six pounds in the last three weeks without exercise, but I know the exercise will help keep me motivated and accountable.

Thanks for the challenge!

Forgot to mention, day 1 of 30 is completed. I did a 10 minute Zumba intro and a 20 minute class (kind of random, but it's something!) plus 5 squat thrusts. The squat thrusts nearly killed me and really underscored how out of shape I am!

My goal is to do some sort of exercise daily, either a run, a walk, 30DS, or a fitness game on the xbox or wii.

Today I already took a 3 mile walk, so here's to being off to a great start!

Happy November everyone!

Hello friends! I'm being ambitious coming back to 3FC and joining a bunch of challenges, but I need some accountability, and it's these very challenges that worked for me, so here's to you all and your motivation!

My goal for November is no more than 5 days without exercise.

11.1: Zumba--60 min.
