New Group Total: 22,783 + 60 = 22,843

I haven't posted the last two days but my exercise total is 207 minutes of walking and water aerobics for an August total of 1795, or 295 over goal.

LOL TWO people posted while I was posting... at 5 AM!! :) So I am trying again.

Group total 22,843 + 207 = 23,050

Walked my dog for 25 minutes this morning.

GROUP TOTAL 23,050 + 25 = 23,075

Wow. I am so proud of those at and exceeding goal! I may not be one of them... I am falling behind.

43 min to add (28 min walking yesterday and 15 dog walking this am)...

Group total ~ 23,075 + 43 = 23,118 min

Personal Total: 858 of 1000

Group Total: 23,118 + 60 = 23,178

Friday swimming 45 minutes + Saturday swimming 40 minutes + today machines 55minutes so get to add 140 minutes group total is now
23,513

Well, yesterday I ended up adding in an additional 116 minutes of walking -- all around Chicago -- that was unexpected and has put me back on track!
The sad part is that because I didn't expect all that walking, I wasn't wearing the best shoes and have blisters...

Group total ~ 23,513 + 116 = 23,629 min

let's see if we can hit 25 K by the end of the month!

60 minute weight lifting class- gonna be sore tomorrow- but a good sore :)

23,629 + 60 = 23,689

Friday I did 60 minutes (30 min in morning, 15 on elliptical and 15 on treadmill at the gym) but yesterday I didn't do anything. That means I probably won't make my goal this time, but I am ok with that. I set it a bit too high since having realized I needed to change things up a bit. So my total now is 1144 (goal was 1500).

The group total is 23,689 + 60 = 23,749

I got in 30 min weight lifting today.

Group total ~ 23,749 + 30 = 23,779 min

Personal Total: 914 of 1000

Group Total: 23,779 + 60 = 23,839

I tried a new video today - Budokon: beginning practice. It is a mix of yoga, martial arts and meditation. It was really good although some of it was quite beyond me. But, I can modify and it is always good to have a challenge. The only thing was that after finishing it I realized it was a weights day and now I don't feel like it. Oh well. That brings my total to 1179.

The group total is now 23,839 + 35 = 23,874

75 minutes of water aerobics for me today

Personal total = 1960 (460 over goal)

Group total 23,874 + 765 = 23,949

Right, Sunday I had off .. but Saturday was a busy one getting the backyard and "barn" ready for our new lambs .. I was out there clearing out the shed of plants and rubbish and weeds for over an hour .. and then getting all the stones off the floor and filling the holes in the shared driveway with them (which took 4 wheelbarrow fulls to clear most of them), then it was shovelling a trailor-load of sawdust into the barn for the lambs ... so a total of full on activity of just over 1 hour .. but I will round it down to an hour cos I did have a few minutes to catch my breath when we were shovelling the sawdust .... after that I relaxed inside doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen before I started getting dinner organised for everyone .. so heart pumping activity total for Saturday was 75 minutes in total ... Sunday relaxed (well ... sorta .. we went and got the lambs lol .. but no heart pumping activity that day really) ... then today I did my 20 minute learn and burn with Turbo Jam, I did start the 20 min workout .. but just couldnt go fast enough to keep up and kept getting confused ... will try again in a few days I think.... and then tonight I will do my pilates .. but will add that tomorrow instead ... soooo total to add for the last 3 days ... 95 minutes!! (no wonder my legs and arms are sore rofl)

Personal Total: 381+ 95 = 476/400 - reached goal Saturday 26/08/06

Nightkatt, I love to Turbo and it DOES (thank God) get easier. I still feel like I have two left feet toward the end of Cardio Party but every repitition I learn the routine a little more and can concentrate more on form.

TurboJam Cardio Party for 40 minutes.

Personal Exercise Goal for August 615/500

Group Total: 24,044 + 40 = 24,084

150 minutes of various exercise for the weekend. I went to the gym on Sunday as well as did yoga friday evening, saturday morning, saturday evening and sunday morning. Not that I counted it, but I also spent a couple hours cleaning on Sunday :)

Group total: 24,084 + 150 = 24,234

24,234+66=24,300

Yikes, haven't exercised in days. Just posting for accountability. I'm going to try to get SOMETHING in, even if it's just 10 minutes, every day for the rest of the month, then set myself a new goal.

Thanks for the compliment on the avatar, Heather. With any luck I'll get a new pic soon with my current hair :)

Personal total: 406/494 remaining

Personal: 1190/720

60 minutes of yoga today so...

24,383 + 60 = 24,443 Group total!!

Today I did 30 minutes walking in the morning and 30 minutes on the elliptical in the gym (hill level 5), bringing my total to 1239.

The group total is now 24,443 + 60 = 24,503

I think we missed LUFIC's 60 minutes in the total, and I'll add the 30 i did a few days ago... although I've been pretty pathetic lately, September is coming, and I'll be OFF THE TRUCK *party*party*party*party* and then I warn you - stand back!

60 + 30 + 24,503 = 24,593

Valerie, right you are about missing 60 minutes... so glad you caught that and fixed it!!! We are going to break 25,000 this month WOW

I did it!: I'm dying but I did it! I actually finally got 30 minutes to an exercise video. The video came with a stretch band with 3 cords. Not until after I finished the video (barely) did I get informed that 3 cords were for advanced exerciser, 2 cords for regular exerciser, and 1 cord for beginners. I used the three cords and now my muscles are jiggling like jello. Tomorrow, I'll do better!

Group ~ 24,593 + 30 = 24,623

Almost the end of the month! This is the best month I've ever had, exercise-wise. Today I did 60 minutes (20 minute TurboJam and 40 minutes of TurboSculpt.)

Personal Exercise Goal for August: 675/500

Group Total: 24,653 + 60 = 24,713 New Group Total

I am going to add in my additional 15 min from Sunday -- I spent hours finishing an office move at work, though am only counting 15 that seemed more "strenous". Yesterday my back hurt a lot (hmmm... FROM the move???) and I rested. Hope I still make my goal!!!!

I started a September thread, so head on over and post your goals!!! :)

Group total ~ 24,713 + 15 = 24,728 min

I can't believe we are going to go over 25K minutes! Did you realize as a group we've already done more than 400 HOURS of exercise??
