It is almost May. And we are close to swimsuit time. Let's get busy!
For those of you who have never done these challanges here are directions-
Reply to this post with how many minutes you want to exercise in May.
Type in the days of the month
Each day come in to the thread and EDIT your post. Type in the # of minutes you exercised.
Tally up the minutes every day or week- whichever you choose to do.
Good luck to everyone.
