Melissa, in any case, this is not a contest. :) But you are doing GREAT!!! Especially with that HEAT, yikes! I don't like the heat but am fortunate that we have such a nice pool and at least I can get in the water!! But I have definitely been busting butt so far this month LOL. Wow I just averaged my time and yes, I am cranking LOL. But I won't keep UP this pace as I don't always do the water aerobics every night.
I don't know if the exercise bike really helps all that much... but I take my book out on my deck and ride it; I figure it is better than lying in BED reading a book. :) I am hoping it will at least help tighten up the saggy skin on my legs. Heather, I agree... I post multiple times but it DOES help if the group total is clear and in bold print, etc., so we can keep it straight. |
Misti - Yeah, this isn't a contest, and I am the same as you, I don't think I will be keeping up this pace...all I can do is try to move as much as I can, when I can. :) The best thing I can do is concentrate on my improvements and my goals and just do what I can. :) It helps for me to keep a mental picture of the physical changes I want to make as I'm exercising, hehe. :) Yeah, the heat is tough...but it's nice to be able to go for night walks - that helps. :)

I finally managed 57 minutes over two days of stationary bike and elliptical. I'm sore. This isn't going to be as easy as I thought.
GROUP `4486 + 57 = 4543 |
harkeyvalley - 57 minutes is awesome! Don't concentrate on what you haven't done...concentrate on what you HAVE done. :) Sorry that you're sore...have you trying just walking outside? Maybe that would be better? Keep up the good work! :)
Hi Ladies - Got in a 24 minute walk tonight...planning on doing my other little things later..! Edited to add: I also did 18 minutes of yoga moves/stretching/calf exercises tonight. A new total of 42 minutes. So I will add them all at once considering nobody added new minutes after my earlier post. :) New totals are: Personal Total: 398 + 42 = 440/310 - 130 minutes past my goal! Group Total: 4543 + 42 = 4585 |
August exercise goal:
600 minutes :tread: |
Yesterday I was at the pool for 4 hours swimming and playing with my niece. I'm so red!! I forgot to bring extra sunblock. But it was worth it.
240+4585=4825 |
I agree.. 57 minutes is GREAT harkey!
Angiepants...wow, 4 hours... big day for you!!! I did another 10 minutes of workout balls, total 519 981 to go for 1500 goal 4825 + 10 = 4835 Group total |
I was in a bit of a funk last night and didn't feel like doing much, so I got in my promised 10 minutes bringing my total to 295.
The group total is now 4,835 + 10 = 4,845 |
4845+60=4905

Personal total: 138/722 remaining Group Total: 4965 + 33 = 4998 |
Oh wow. One week in and we're nearly at 5k? At this rate we would shatter our own record -- I think the most we've done before in a month is just over 16k!
Not to mention, we're on track to meet our 100K minutes goal FOR THE YEAR in just a few days!!!! Actually, I'm putting us over 5k. I just did a great 28 min walk with a colleague at lunch! Group total ~ 4998 + 28 = 5026 minutes! |
I would love to walk but the heat index here in Harkey Valley, Arkansas (gee where did she get her online nickname?LOL) is over 105 degrees and we don't know what a paved road looks like unless we drive a half hour to town. You won't believe the dust storm that is caused by a speeding pickup. You can't see let alone breathe. Rural living is great except for walking on a dirt road. Does walking around Walmart for 30 minutes count? If I lived closer to town I go there everyday and walk in air conditioning. Gotta go. I hear my stationary bike calling me. I can't let Melissa and Sue steal the show.

harkeyvalley - ...In my opinion..of course walking in Walmart counts..it's movement, right? It all counts. ;) Exercise comes from wherever you can squeeze it out of, lol. :) Hi Ladies - Got in a 37 minute walk so far. :) Later on I am going to try to fit in my upper body strength training, as well. :) New totals are... Personal Total: 440 + 37 = 477/310 - 167 minutes past my goal. Group Total: 5056 + 37 = 5093 |
