  • People, please don't apologize for setting what you think are low goals!!! Just a reminder, we are not competing with each other. Please look at my sig and you will see that my first goals were small (500 min) but I built from there. This is about all of us being healthier!

    And, might I add, that in a week with 30 days, 500 minutes is an average of just over 16 min/day, which works out to more than 30 min 3x/week... a recommended number for people in general (though I think former obese people need to exercise more...).

    The point is that even 500 min/month is a great place to start and more than most people get!!!!!!
  • I think I'll join in. On a normal weekend (when it isn't 90-100 degrees), I usually get in about 300 minutes of exercise but as I don't think July will be any different than August, I don't think that'll be possible.

    So I am going to go for 900 minutes for the month of August.
  • Is It August Yet? Is It August Yet?? I'm ready to get this ball rolling!!!
  • Val, I ADORE your enthusiasm!!!!
  • Val, NOW it's August!!
  • Go team!!!!
  • Dang it! Has no one exercised yet??
  • my goal is to exercise 60 minutes a day 5 days a week for a total of 1200 a month.
  • 63 minutes done on this 1st day of august. yeah!!!!
  • So,

    Group total = 63 min...

    NEXT!
  • I didn't do that well in July, I've been working out for like a week now So I'm aiming for 1000 Minutes for august.
  • I spent 45 minutes exercising at the gym this morning. I may go for a walk this afternoon but so far- 45 / 1000.
  • 45/1000 minutes today so far, bike for 30 minutes, aerobics 15 minutes.
  • 60 minutes for me today
  • Hey, I notice that many of our first posters are new to the thread! Welcome!! But it occurs to me that we need to show you how things work!

    Just to let you all know we'd like you to add your minutes to the group total! That's how we keep track of monthly minutes AND get to 100,000 minutes as a group! It works like this:

    Group total ~ 63 + 45 (celery) + 45 (angiepants78) + 60 (toofatforu) =213 minutes!

    So, keep track of your minutes for you and help keep the groups running total!
