300+ Just-do-it July Exercise Thread
 

to the July 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 July!!! What do you say chicks and roosters??

I'm In For 1,200 minutes!

Hey guys, I'm in again, upping my minutes to 900 this month.

As usual, I'm not setting a specific goal. Basically I'll be walking 5 days a week (30-45 mins) and lifting 3 days a week (although taking a rest week after this one). June ended up with 1422 mins total, plus a fair bit of gardening.

Anyway... 45 min walk this morning.

Group Total: 45

20 min cardio, 25 min yoga for 45 min today.

Personal 45/900

Group 45 + 45 = 90

60 min. on elliptical Personal 60/1,000
Group 120+60=180 minutes

This month I am aiming for 660 minutes of exercise per week for the last 4 weeks. The first week since it is short I am shooting for 450 minutes. This should give me a total of 3090 minutes for the month of July.

Wednesday: Aquafit Class 60 Minutes + 15 minutes Swimming Laps = 75 Minutes

Personal For Month of July: 75 Minutes
Goal for Month = 3090 Minutes

Group: 180 + 75 = 255 minutes
