OK.

I haven't been to the gym in almost year. When I joined the gym in Sep 2004, one of the things I thought would keep me going was paying for it every month; well that didn't work - I paid but didn't go during 2005.
Now I'm ready (I think) to start this journey to a healther life again.
Because I want a succes right off the bat, I'll join this exercise thread but keep the goal on the low end.

For the month of Februay my goal will be 300 minutes (5 hours).

Okay this is my first time at this challenge thing so if I do it wrong please tell me.

15 minutes WATP
3 minutes push ups
3 minutes crunches
14 minutes free weights
total 35
group total 35 + 278 = 313

60 mins WATP
313 + 60 = 373

Welcome MoveMoveMove! Great screen-name! Definately in the spirit of the thread!! :cb:

Garnet - as long as yer doin' it, ya CAN't do it "wrong" silly woman. :hug: Great start, BTW!!

I went walking tonight in the local grocery store parking lot. There I was happily jogging up the up-hill part, proud as I could be of myself cuz I COULD jog, and the cop pulled in. He seemed to decide I wasn't dangerous (actually, after getting a closer look at me & the dog, I think he might have been ready to laugh at himself for even checking us out.) What is it about the stroke of midnight, when everyone else in the house is trying to sleep, that makes me want to go burn some calories??

35 + 373 = 408

hey all - just came back from 2 hours at the gym. worked out about 90 solid mins

30 elliptical
20 treadmil
30 weight training
10 stretching

40 mins treadmill in morning and 30 mins exercise bike in afternoon. Also walked around oval with kids for almost 10 mins, but won't count it as it was just under the 10 min mark and I want to make that my incentive to do extra laps next time. The kids are only little and were very tired earlier than I thought, so I cut the time short. We should be up to at least 10 mins soon, so I'll be able to add them then.

So, personal goal... 1880 - 70 = 1810

Group Total - 518 + 70 = 588

Keep it up everyone! This is a great start!

Take care,

Zelma

Well I started out last month Gung-Ho and fizzled out around the end. Hopefully this month will be better. I'm setting the same goal 600 minutes and this month I'm going to follow through and make it.

Although yesterday wasn't a model day. I was late getting off work, therfore I was late to my WA class. I only got in 50 minutes instead of 60. I am going to try to go to another class tonight. It depends on how work goes. The classes start at 5:30 and I don't officially get off work until then, but sometimes I can leave early. But it just depends on what's going on at work. Cross you fingers for me that I can make it.

588 + 50 = 638

Hi, did 40 mins,
My goal (800) 730-40=690
Group total 638+40=678
KEEP IT UP!!!
:carrot: :carrot: XXXSharon:carrot: :carrot:

Wow. If nothing else, this thread is going to shame me into exercise!! I'm still sick but plan to get on it soon!

I did 35 minutes of walking yesterday. I did some heavy housework for 25 minutes. I was sweating more from the housework than the walk LOL

500-60= 440 to go!
Group total...678 + 60 = 738

I did another 65 minutes of aerobics this morning.

My goal: 1560 - 130 = 1365 to go!
Group total...738 + 65 = 803

WOW! It's only the 2nd day of February and we're almost at 1,000! Ladies, we are awesome! :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :cb: :cb: :cb:

I did 30 minutes + 5 cooldown on the treadmill last night for a total of 35 minutes. It has been getting easier every day!

New group total - 803 + 35 = 838!

Hey there Everyone!
Happy to see that we are all working hard all ready to get to our goals :)

60 minutes for me yesterday

Personal total 800-60= 740 minutes to go!

300 + total = 838+60= 898 minutes

Brenda :wave:

Well, I worked out again today! I did:
10 minutes of my "dance away the inches" dvd
5 minutes of treadmill on the "fat burn" speed
1 minute on the warm up speed...to actually cool down.
So another 16 minutes for me today, which brings me for 26 minutes for the day!

898+16=914 minutes so far
