Awesome in August Excercise Thread
 

In honor of what Heather started:

Welcome to the August 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. 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, 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!

We have done so great...so far this year we are at 10,816 minutes

Let's Try again- I really want to push us for August, I know we can make this!

Goal for August is 4100 Minutes!!

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.

Don't be scared or feel overwhelmed...we can do this!! Keep walking, keep working, keep going!! We are all getting stronger!!

I kinda fell down on the job at the end of July. Let's try again, shall we?

Lunch walk today - 24 minutes!

First one up and moving Lilion! Thanks for taking the first step!
I am going to exercise more this month.
24 + 10 minute walk = 34 minutes

It has taken a bit to get back on track after my long vacation.

30 min workout this morning.

34+30=64 Minutes

64 minutes + 15 min shoulder neck yoga=79 min

79 min + 40 min yoga + 40 min walking=159 min

(Personal goal 1400 min for August-1325 to go!!)

Yesterday 20 minutes yard work + 159 = 179 minutes

Yeesh my week has been off...

8/3 lunch walk 22 minutes

179 + 22 = 201 minutes

201 min + 18 min tai chi + 10 minutes yoga=229 min

33 minutes lunch walk - a mile and a half! That's faster than usual for me.

229 - 33 = 262 minutes

262 min + 20 min yoga + 18 min tai chi=300 min

300 min + 35 min candlelight yoga=335 min

335 + 35 min yoga=370 min

370 min + 60 min walking + 35 min yoga=465 min

So Fitbit is showing that I input a 13 minute walk on MFP on 8/4. That makes no sense to me at all and I'm not gonna count it. I don't remember doing it...or any reason WHY I would have done that...instead of letting the Fitbit clock it. So that has to be an error.

But I did do 50 minutes of mostly lap swimming.

aaaannnd that was it for the long, lazy weekend.

So: 465 + 50 minutes = 515 minutes.

25 Min workout this morning. (Getting back to it has been really hard)

515+25=540 minutes

540 + 30 min yoga=570 min

30 min workout yesterday
31 min workout today

61 + 570= 631 Minutes

Lilion you are doing well. Keep at it and you will get back in your groove.
Natasha I see you are coming back around.
Hi everyone else!

50 minutes yard work last two days + 631 = 681 minutes

681 min + 58 min walking + 10 min yoga=749 min

8/9/17 walking 27 minutes at noon and 11 minutes after work = 38 minutes
8/10/17 walking 23 minutes at noon
total 61 minutes

749 + 61 = 810 minutes!

A little late posting but
30 min this morning

30 + 810= 840 Minutes

I set a goal for myself this week to go M-F to the gym before work and I just have tomorrow morning left. I think I am going to try to do Sat/Sun as well. Perhaps a 3 mile walk in the park since I have a 5K in October. Very excited about it. Have a good night everyone.

20 min of yoga this morning

840+20=860 Minutes

860 + 60 min yoga +180 min walking=1100 min

60 minutes over last few days + 1100 = 1170 minutes.

Finally back at it!

14 minute walk yesterday (8/14)
15 minutes on the elliptical this morning and 21 minute walk at lunch today

total of 50 minutes

1160 (correcting Ubee's math ;) ) + 50 = 1,210 minutes!

Hmm. Me again.

35 minutes walking at lunch.

1,210 + 35 - 1,245 minutes

Thanks Lilion! The old eyes aren't what they used to be...

1270 min + 70 min yoga + 9 min weights + 27 min walking =1376 min

Finally back on track after getting the kids settled in to their adult lives....

1376 min + 25 min yoga + 30 min wfc flexibility = 1431 min

Keep forgetting to post. Yard work over last few days 60 + 1431=1491

Lilion hope you are around and I really hope my math is right today.;) I tried putting on a pair of socks over a pair I already had on this morning... I need all the help I can get.

1491 min + 25 min yoga + 30 min walk dogs= 1546 min

1546 + 45 min wfc abs + 9 min weights + 45 min yoga + 25 min walking = 1670 min

Hope you don't mind me catching up a week's worth! Not that it's anything to brag about.

8/18 - swimming 60 minutes
8/22 - elliptical 20 minutes
8/23 - walking 23 minutes

8/24 - walking 41 minutes!

1670 + 144 = 1814 minutes
