Personal Total : 270 of 840

spent nearly 2 hours at the gym today....woohoo!

Personal Total: 185+145=330 of 600
Group Total: 2965+145=3110

Don't worry! It's not a competition, except with yourself! Remember that just doing the exercise and posting it is AWESOME!

I totally do not feel like being on plan today, but here I am. Doing it. rah rah.

I hopped on the treadmill and then did my back/abs THEN took a brisk walk for a total of 53 minutes. I swear, if I wasn't watching series TV down there, I'd never do the treadmill (Season 2 of Alias!)

Group total ~ 3110 + 53 = 3163 minutes!

Good job, wyllenn!

44 minutes for yesterday, 14 for today

Personal total: 150 +58 = 208 (July goal: 1085 / 873 remaining)

Group total ~ 3163 + 58 = 3221 minutes!

I'm pretty sure that my body can't do what Misti does, let alone Kayley!

65 mins water aerobics + swimming laps

170 + 65 = 235 mins

Group total 3221 + 65 = 3286 mins

Went to a class at the Y with a friend and did 45 minutes of strength training and ab work. I swear it nearly killed me. I am so incredibly out of shape. And really, it wasn't so much the workout killing me but my back having to stand there holding up all this weight. I can't wait til I have about 50 of it gone. I think that will make a huge difference in what I am capable of.

GROUP TOTAL 3,316 + 45 = 3,361

add 10 minutes more for me....took a short walk tonight

Personal Total: 330+10=340 of 600
Group Total: 3361+10=3371

Took a walk around the block with hubby...boy my back..ugh..add 15 min for me.

My total 25 + 15 = 40 min...460 min to go!

Group total 3371 + 15 = 3386

WTG LADIES!!!

Did my 75 minutes of aerobic walking/jogging today and 75 minutes of water aerobics.

Total today 150 minutes
Total for July = 482 + 150 = 632
Goal 2000 - 632 = 1368 still to go

Group total = 3386 + 150 = 3536

3536+45=3581

Kayley - Just wanted to let you know that when I was your age I could do that much exercise, too, and now, walking the dog can be a big effort.
Sometimes, when I see that you are exercising 3 hrs per day, I feel a little jealous and inadequate - it has nothing to do with you!
Now that I've owned that, a 1 hr workout is pretty good for a broad who's almost 60 years old!

I love seeing your pix - keep going, girl!

Sue

Getting a late start but I'm in for 600 minutes in July . . .
45 minutes this morning walking . . .


Personal Total: 45 of 600 = 555 to go

Group total = 3581 + 45 = 3626

Add another 40 minutes for me today...so far ;)

Personal Total: 340+40=380
Group Total: 3626+40=3666

Between walking and other exercise, another 85 minutes for me...

85 + 3666 = 3751

Personal Total : 300 of 840

Group Total : 3751 + 30 = 3781

Xena -- Yes, yes, you will feel so much better with 50 pounds gone!

And Sue -- 1 hour is excellent, for less than 60 too!

Do you all realize that most Americans don't exercise as much as we do! Yes, we have an uphill battle, but we are doing it!

Remember, it's not a competition!

Let's inspire each other!
In fact, I'm going to stop dithering and go do my exercise NOW! See yall on the flip side!

I'm hopping in here :)

24 days left in July, my goal for at least 20 minutes a day, so 480 minutes of excercise to go. Walking stretching just moving somehow. :)

33 mins NuStep, 10 mins river walking, 20 mins lap swimming

235 + 63 = 298 mins

Group total 3781 + 63 = 3844 mins

70 minutes walking :carrot: would have done more but had to turn back because of a bear alert :o



Group Total : 3844 + 70 = 3914 (I think this is how it works? )

silentarctic -- WELCOME! But, wow, bear alert?!! You live in a different worlds than I do. And yes, you figured out how it works!

As for me, got my 40 sweaty minutes in on the treadmill!

Group total ~ 3914 + 40 = 3954 minutes!

Woke up late yesterday, and just got in 10 mins buns/thighs & 10 mins walking before it was off to work. I wasn't going to do ANYTHING...but I knew better! LOL

3,954+20=3,974

730/900 for me. :)

LOL Sue, I know what you mean... I could have kept up with Kayley too when I was her age, but I am also pushing 60 really close so we are doing great! :) And as Heather said, the vast majority of Americans don't exercise anywhere near as much as we do, so you are doing great!!!! We are ALL doing great. It's neat too... when we hear about how much fatter and fatter people are becoming... to be a part of a big effort to slim down!!!

I had a slow day yesterday too... 39 minutes of aerobic walking.

July personal total = 632 + 39 = 671
Goal 2000 - 671 = 1329 still to go

Group total 3974 + 39 = 4013

Misti -- Look at you... a SLOW day is 39 minutes!!!

I got 45 min in today. 15 min walking the dogs and then lifted at the gym for 30. My arms are wobbly!!

Group total ~ 4013 + 45 = 4058 min

Just got done walking for 45 minutes. Man, it's hot out there! Had to leave Buster home. He gets too hot and then I end up having to carry him home! Yes, he's spoiled. ;)

GROUP TOTAL 4,058 + 45 = 4,103

Personal Total : 330 of 840

Group Total : 4103 + 30 = 4133

Xena -- I have pugs and they are not good in the heat, so this time of year I try to walk them really early! I don't know if I could carry 2 back!!

Hubby and I hopped on our bikes for a ride -- 20 more minutes!! (I love it that sometimes they are "extra" minutes I didn't plan for!!)

Group total ~ 4163+ 20 = 4183 minutes!

For yesterday, 25 minutes (20 walking/5 biking)

Personal total: 208+25 = 233 (July goal: 1085 / 848 remaining)

Group total ~ 4183 + 25 = 4208 minutes!

30 minutes more excercise down for me... would have been more but again someone stopped and told me of something going on this time a drunk driver speeding around town, they had called the police but were concerned for my saftey, sweet but , annoying so I got a ride to my street and headed inside for now... might do something else but for now hunger hit and dinner is waiting to be made.

group total = 4208 + 30 = 4238

I just couldn't make it the whole month! I decided to start out simple and danced around the kitchen for about 15 minutes. I got my heart rate up and started sweating and I felt fine. I won't set a goal for now - I want to see how things go first.

The group total is now 4238 + 15 = 4253

Oops. I just had to check to find out the last time I posted my exercise minutes and I can't believe that it was last Sunday! I have been more slack than I thought. So here goes with catching up...

Monday - 40 mins exercise bike, 10 mins walk to school (didn't walk home as it was raining heavily - and I could have melted!)
Tuesday - 40 mins treadmill, 20 mins walk to and from school (just got 'drizzled' on)
Wednesday - Rest day from equipment. 20 mins walk to/from school and 20 mins laps of oval with kids.
Thursday - 40 mins treadmill, 20 mins walk to and from school
Friday - 40 mins treadmill, 20 mins walk to/from school, 10 mins laps of oval
Saturday - 35 mins of walking and 35 mins on exercise bike

That should all add up to 350 mins I think.

Personal Goal... 1070 - 350 = 720 mins left of July's goal of 1200

Group Total... 4253 + 350 = 4603

I'm on holidays now, so I should be able to post more regularly for a couple of weeks at least.

Take care,:hug:

Zelma

DH and I just went to the pool and goofed around, so probably didn't burn as many calories as usual, but sometimes you need to play - I really don't know how many calories corkscrew swimming burns up, but it sure is fun.

298 + 70 mins = 368 mins

Group total 4603 + 70 = 4673 mins

went for a short stroll...had my sons birthday party today...we went bowling..lol...let's just say I always stay below 100 average..hehehe

My goal 40 + 10 = 50 min

Group total 4673 + 10 = 4683

Well, how is this for 'more regular'. I can post today's exercise already, because I can't see me doing any more.

Hubby and I went for a very brisk walk for an hour and a half. The original plan was to go for an hour, but we went a little far out, and by the time we got lost on the way back, it was more than we bargained for. There were a few hills, which made for a good workout overall.

Personal Goal... 720 - 90 = 630 mins left of July's goal of 1200

Group Total... 4683 + 90 = 4773

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

Take care,:hug:

Zelma

Glad everyone is doing so well! LOL Heather thanks for reminding me about a "slow" day being 39 minutes of exercise! :)

Yesterday I felt it was slow too but it really wasn't... I planned to go to the pool yesterday evening but it was SO hot at the festival and I was gone a total of 6 hours so felt I didn't get in much exercise... just 26 minutes of aerobic steps. BUT I decided to count another hour of the 6 as exercise because I was out running around, handing out balloons to kids and water to people, etc... certainly not just sitting around most of that time! It doesn't seem "unfair" to count a sixth of the time as exercise. :) Soooooo... I got

26 minutes plus 60 minutes or 86 minutes for yesterday.
Monthly total is 757
2000 goal - 757 = 1243 to go

Group total = 4773 + 86 = 4859

Good to see Zelma back!

I've walked the dogs today and don't know what else I'll do, as we are going to a baseball game today -- may get some walking in yet! But I'll post this for now and see..

Group total ~ 4859 + 15 = 4874 minutes

personal total: 380+60=440 of 600
group total: 4874=60=4934
