Yeah gals way to go!
Elliptical 5
Treadmill 30
Bike 20
Total 55
Group Total5148

I've been on vacation, not doing much exercise. My goal, as of a few days ago, is 720. Since then, I've done a bit of walking, so I'm down to 650.

Group total: 5148 + 70= 5218

Jen

Wow, we are cranking! And Harkeyvalley, yes of course WalMart walking counts! There were days here when it was so hot I went to Fred Meyer and walked all around the store and up and down the frozen food aisles. :)

Tee hee, I grew up way back in the sticks of Missouri so I know ALL about that horrible dust on those country roads. Yikes... for SURE you can't walk there!!!

I am pretty bummed at the moment LOL... I GAINED back three pounds! I just can't lose. But I got in 74 minutes of aerobic walking

Personal total = 593
1500 goal - 593 = 907 still to go

Group total 5218 + 74 = 5292

5292 plus today's 60 minutes at the gym = group total of 5352

My personal total is 270 / 1000

Tonight I did 25 minutes on the elliptical and spent 40 working with my trainer. That brings my total to 360.

The group total is 5,352 + 65 = 5,417

tonight i did 3 mile WATP (45 min.) and 12 min. abs, stretching and push ups.


GROUP TOTAL: 5417+57=5474

Right after I posted, a friend called and we did a 40 min power walk. New numbers:

Personal goal: 610 out of 720
Group: 5417 + 40 = 5457

Jen

15 minutes today, still none on the bike.... must get more serious about the bike

Personal total: 153/703 remaining

Group total: 5474 + 15 = 5489

Oops- Nicole posted as I was figuring out the math!

New group: 5474 + 40 = 5514

Jen

Ahh! I've got to be quicker on the math!

5489 + 40 = 5529

Terrible on the weekend .. only 12 min total! .. then did only 7 min yesterday .. so thats 19 minutes (tsk tsk tsk).


Personal Total: 112 + 19 = 131/400 - 269 left to go!!

Group Total: 5529 + 19 = 5548

Sunday, I did 70 mins - 10 elliptical, 20 NuStep, 30 lap swimming
Monday 30 mins - 10 mins elliptical, 20 NuStep

60 mins + 100 = 160 mins

Group total 5548 + 100 = 5648 mins

harkey valley -- For me personally, walking in Walmart or a mall could count, but I really only if I am doing it continuously. I don't count any of the shopping I do, because there's too much stop and start...

Misti In Seattle (and I think Ammi) and I have the same pedometer, and it counts "aerobic" steps. Steps at a certain pace that last for at least 10 min. I generally record my minutes based on what it says! That way I don't count meandering time.

You are free to count what you want!

Nightkatt -- just count it! Don't worry about how little it seems like!


I got in 22 more min at the gym weightlifting tonight!

Group total ~ 5648 + 22 = 5670 minutes!

500 mins for me so far this month
5670+500=6170

Yes, I only count aerobic steps too... but during the super hot weather here I intentionally went to a big store and walked all around the edges of it inside and also at times up and down the frozen food/cooler aisles. :) So it CAN be continuous walking in a store or mall if you plan it that way.
