to the September exercise thread! We're making exercise a habit, giving ourselves some accountability, and getting healthier in the process!
In this thread, we track the number of MINUTES we exercise for the month -- whether it's walking or swimming or sweaty housework! Most of us set goals for ourselves (I personally will not exercise much without a goal). If you are a goal-setter, early in the month set your own goal! If you're just getting started, feel free to start with a smaller number of minutes (I did!), maybe just a few hundred. It seems easier for many of us to build on the habit rather than meet a very high goal right away. However, you can also just jump right in without a goal, and you can join us anytime in the month!
As last month, I'm not setting a goal. The plan is 2 days of 60 mins walking (treadmill or outside) and 3 days of lifting (~60 mins, but the stage I'm in at the moment is short, but hard). I did 1310 mins last month.
So, today I did 40 mins strength training.
Group total: 45 + 40 + 10 = 95 mins (added in IrishCoda's mins)
Once again I am going to shoot for 2000 minutes. I missed my August goal of 2000 minutes by 45 minutes! UGH! I will try harder this month. I post my exercise each Sunday and will continue to do that.
