I think to make it a sticky you have to msg a moderator.

I need to get my butt back in exercise mode!! My goal for this month is to visit the gym 3x per week, so a total of 15 times *minimum* in August. In addition I want to log a total of 1,000 minutes of exercise (whether at the gym or not!). Every little bit of intentional exercise counts!

Aug 1: 20 min walk

Hey all! Newbie here, but figured I'd jump in.

My goal for August is to hit the gym at least 20 days and complete at least 800 minutes. So far, so good!

8/1 - Elliptical 73 min
8/2 - Elliptical 42 min
8/3 - Elliptical 70 min

Hoping to keep the trend going!!
