Join us for the September Exercise challenge.

Whether you are a new exerciser working toward 10 minutes a day or an exercise pro just needing some place to stay focused, this is a great place to challenge yourself and stay accountable. So come on in and join the fun.

OH Jeez, you really had to post this didn't you? lol I've been trying to find so many excuses to not exercise but since my daughter is back in school and I have no more excuses I need to put on my big girl panties and just do it. Thanks for this thread I really need it to help keep me accountable & motivated!

1. Deep cleaning my house ~ not traditional exercise but it get's my heart rate going and I'll be going all day!)
2. More deep cleaning
3. More deep cleaning (boy it takes a while to get it really clean!)

4. Sunday is for rest and reflection at my house.

5. I decided to reorganize while I clean so that's my new exercise.
6. More reorganizing
7. More reorganizing
8. More reorganizing
9. " "
10. Since I cant use my feet for exercise I'm sticking with more organizing. I've found I can do a lot sitting down and since I'm constantly moving my upper body I'm getting a small workout every day.

I will try this. I need someplace to be accountable. I'm starting out slow with the 30 day shred. It's embarrassing but I haven't been able to do the whole 20 minutes yet, so my goal is to first be able to finish the damn workout, and second, to do it 3/week.

I'm going to try to average an hour of walking a day for the month. Also, doing some 5lb weight exercises on my arms. If I make it through this month, I may try and start running a bit in October.
