300+ No One Skips Exercise in November
 

WELCOME!!!!!

to the November 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 2009 the 300+ club broke our 2007 record and exercised for 216,854 minutes. In 2010 we have ALREADY broken that record!! What will that new record be? It's going to take a lot of work from a lot of people to get it done! We invite you to join us!

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.

Here are the running totals to date:

24,105 January
24,081 February
25,031 March
27,221 for April (a new MONTHLY record!!!))
17,810 for May
18,440 for June
22,159 for July
24,913 for August
24,051 for Sept
18,968 for Oct
226,797 min

WE BEAT THE RECORD IN OCTOBER!!! AMAZING!!!
Can we hit 250,000???? I KNOW WE CAN Let's do it!!!

I'm trying to figure out my goal for next month. I'm pleased I made this month, but I've tried higher goals recently and missed it. But I want to push myself.... so I'll go with 1000 minutes for November.

Sticking with 900 for November!

I'll be sticking with 1000 minutes again.

I guess this month I'll actually commit to a goal for a change. I'm going to go for RisenDestiny's goal of 1800. I may hate myself by the end of Nov ;)

Well I guess I'm gonna start!

95mins in the pool
50mins walking

145/1800


0 + 145 = 145 :dizzy:

Time to get back into the exercise game. I can commit to 900 minutes this month and see how that goes! :)

I have to get back to exercise daily also. I will commit to 1000.
personal 30/1000
group total 145+30=175

I'll go for 1500 - will push to it!

25 min for me!

Group total ~ 175 + 25 = 200 min

The only goal I really have for this month is to make sure I get some kind of exercise in every day. :) At least 15 minutes.

30 Minutes for today (today as in Nov. 1)


200 + 30 = Group Total: 230

Deep Water Class-45 minutes
Personal:45/900
Group:230+45=275

30 minutes walking.

Personal Goal: 30/1000

Group Total: 30 + 275 = 305

I'm in for 500 minutes for the month of November.
(Goal is to walk at least 30 mins 3x per week).
I walked 45 minutes for Nov 1.
500 minutes - 45 minutes = 455 minutes left to do.

Group Total: 45 + 305 = 350
