300+ Sweeeeet September Exercise Thread
 

WELCOME!!!!

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!

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 again for August!!! 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 (a record!!)
19,680 June
23,366 July (so close to a record!)
18,646 August

156,832 at the end of August

I'm thinking that my September exercise goal will be 1200 minutes. It's higher than I was initially thinking given how busy things get, but I think I want to challenge myself.

I'm in again.... my goal will be 1800 minutes this month.

I am going to make my first goal 500 minutes!

I am hoping in future months that will increase, but considering now I am doing approximately 0 minutes, I am excited about setting a goal!

hmm, I'm not going to get overboard and I'll...hm, 30 x 40 mins sounds good enough. :D

1200 mins! Go me and everyone else!

I have really slacked on exercise this summer and my weight shows it.My goal is 1000 min , but Im hoping to do much more!
