WELCOME

to the January 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!

In 2007 the 300+ club exercised 205,352 minutes. Let’s break that record!

To keep track, just add your minutes to the existing group’s minutes. If you’re new, look at what other people are doing – it’s pretty easy to figure out!

I think I will plan to exercise 1000 minutes in January! It's a bit of a stretch from what I've been doing, and may adjust if I'm still sick at the beginning of the month...

Let's get moving!

[brandnewme]

I'm shooting for 300 minutes (15min x 5days a week).

[dogpal]

I'll shoot for 1500 again.

[Realist]

Count me in for 1000 minutes.

[NoLifeWithoutHorses]

I have been summoned here by the irresistable Heather!
So here I am... um... I have NO idea what I should put, since I remember a time long ago & far away when I was good at this, but am NOT at that point now, sooooo, I'll take a stab at 500 for January, K?

[dgramie]

I guess I will aim for 1000 min. I know it will be really hard for me to reach!! I am bad about not exercising enough.
personal 20/1000(i may try to get more in later in the day but wanted to show i was making a start)

group total 20 min

[RealCdn]

Although I didn't hit 1200 in December, I will set January for that number. Mainly because if I stick to the new program that I started I will definitely make it. Good luck all!

[Heather]

Has no one worked out yet??? I'll be back soon with my numbers!

[BarbPA]

Me First?

I did 60 minutes today...45 on the elliptical and 15 min of abs/stretching.

I'm not going to set minute goals if that's ok. I exercise 7 days a week and I'll report my minutes after they are done.

Let's GO! The New Year is here!


Edited to add...Opps, just saw DG's 20 min for today...

GROUP TOTAL: 80 minutes.

[RealCdn]

Me third.... 50 mins resistance training (50/1200 personal)

Group total: 80 + 50 = 130

[dgramie]

I just did another mile video...plus walked to town and back 30 more min today
personal 50/1000

group 130+30=160

[KristasMom]

I thought I signed up for 1000 mins - maybe in another thread.

Today, I did 15 mins on an elliptical, 20 mins on the Nu-Step recumbant bike, 12 mins on the rowing machine, and 15 mins circuit training.
Personal - 62 mins
Group - 160 + 62 = 222 min

[Terri in MO]

Today - 30 minutes cardio on the stationary bike

Group - 222 +30 = 252

Someone check total for accuracy:
Dgramie - 20 +30
BarbPA 60
Anne 50
Sue 62
Terri 30
Total 252

[Realist]

252 + 60 = 312 minutes
