300+ Jammin' June Exercise Thread
 

to the June 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! To help everyone keep things straight, please note the OLD minutes and the number of NEW minutes you are adding, such as
Group total ~ 500 + 50 = 550 minutes

We've made a great start and I'd love to see us hit 20K minutes for June!!! What do you say chicks and roosters??

Minutes so far:
19,474 January
12,537 February
16,953 March
22,397 April
23,779 May

95,140 min thru May

Come on -- June is a perfect month to kick it up!!! We need to get to our halfway point (102,676 min) to stay on track!

I'm kickin' it up for June -- 1200 min is my goal!

1200 min is my goal also

I wont have kids as much so no excuse not to get in more exercise.Im shooting for 1800. My scales maybe stuck but the inches come off with exercise!!

My June Goal is 540 per week. I'll be gone the last 11 days of the month traveling so whatever exercise I get will likely not be counted.

For the first three weeks that would make my total goal 1620.

EDIT: Changing my monthly goal total to 1930 Minutes.

It is summer, no more homework or studying for exams! I will however start going to the gym on campus three days a week starting tomorrow so I am going to set my goal at 600. Being out of the house should help me not have excuses.

I'm going to start "big" for me...1500 for June.

I guess I'm first - 45 min walk this morning.

Group total: 45

I did horribly last month, didn't get to anywhere near where I wanted to, so I'm scaling down my estimate and going to try for 800-900 minutes. Going for a walk this evening to start me off...

30 minute walk to Metro this morning.

Fishing Gal - you can either add your minutes as you go, every few days, once a week, or post them complete at the end of the month. I'm going to assume that you're going to add as you go, so I'll add your minutes in now.
