300+ Awakening to Exercise in April
WELCOME!!!!
to the April 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 2010 the 300+ club broke our 2009 record and exercised for over 250,000 minutes. I don't know if we'll break that record, but I do know exercise is a great way to keep on plan. 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. 21764 January 9935 February 14504 March ______ 46203 minutes thru March!! |
Wow, January was really high.... what's that all about?
I made my goal of 700 last month and I'm really pleased. April has one fewer day, but I'll stick with the same number for April. 700. |

do we only count structured exercising in here? like the stuff we set out to do? or can i count the 20 minutes i spent dancing around my house to some of my favorite songs? it definitely got me winded and my heart rate up... |
I'm really happy that I made my first months goal. I ended up going over it, so this month I'm going to go for 800 minutes.
40 tonight even though I really didn't want to move at all. Personal goal: 40/800 Group Total : 40 + 25= 65 minutes |

Yesterday I did 30 minutes on the elliptical - 30/500 Group total: 135 + 30 = 165 |
Mandy, we all decide what counts for us, individually... some count the unplanned activity, some only count specific activities... it's totally up to you! And good to have you with us!
38 minutes walking in the state park + 13 minutes strength training Personal goal: 51/700 Group total: 165 + 51 = 216 |
I really surprised myself last month and did 755/465. Woohoo! So, this month I'm setting my goal at 800. Let's see if I meet it or beat it.

30 minutes yoga
Personal goal: 81/700 Group total: 236 + 30 = 266 |
It's getting warmer out, & I hit my goal of 3,500 mins for March, so I'm going to aim for that amount again this month. So 3,500 for April! Let's do it, chickies!
