300+ Eerie October Exercise Thread!!
 

to the October 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 15K minutes for October!!! 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
18,315 September

175,147 thru the end of Sepember

I thought a lot about moving my goal for the month lower. I know I'm going to be under a lot of stress. But instead, I'm going to see how well I do using exercise to help cope with stress. I might not make my Sept goal of 1200 min, but I'm going to keep the same goal for October

I'm going to aim for 2000 minutes this month.

I am new, (hello everyone) and this will be one of my first goals, so I will set mine at 600 min,

Hey all! Been gone for a while, but ready to tackle it again.

I should be able to 1000 minutes in October.

So, if I counted right the group goal is up to 7,000 now.

Heather - we're gonna blow that record away!!!

Carol -- I really hope so!! I've been hoping we do a lot while the weather's good, because Nov and Dec are usually slow -- both the weather and the holidays seem to be factors.

Hello ladies

I am going to start with 1500 minutes for October
:)

Today's excerise:
40 minutes of hip hop abs

Group total 40 + 60 = 100

I walked at work today! 20 min

Group total ~ 100 + 20 = 120 min

Group - 120 + 60 = 180

60 minutes Water Aerobics

Personal - 60/2000

Morning, all.
Pretty good walk with the pooch yesterday evening. (Dropped my cel phone and had to walk another 15 minutes to find it. heheh)
My Oct Stats = 34/1000
