July Exercise challenge
 

July already! Here's the exercise challenge thread for the month.
Set your goal and post your exercise each day!
My goal for July will be 1200 minutes.

my goal is a tough one

89 miles walked for the month of July :carrot:

Hello ladies! Well these are my stats for the last few months. I was doing really good last year and even got up to a high of 2465 for the month of November!

Jan was 865 minutes
Feb was 285 minutes
March was 430 minutes
April was 300 minutes
May was 920 minutes
June was 1128 minutes

Anyhow I have been working myself back up and I am going to challenge myself to do 1500 minutes this month. SO roughly 75 miles for me.

Okay so sunday was 60 minutes of walking, monday was 60 and today is 30 so far. We are walking to the library later today so I will get in another 30-60.
How is everyone else doing?

I haven't counted exercise minutes in this forum before....do we count cardio minutes as well as weight training minutes...or just cardio??
I will set my minutes at 900 for the month....sounds like a good starting point.

I have been working all day, so I haven't had a chance to get in my walk/jog....but the day isn't over yet!!:)

Dea, I would say that everything counts!

Sounds good to me!

I didn't get anything in on Tuesday....I needed to crash after a busy day at work and then my son's baseball game!

I got up early this morning...5:30am and did 35 minutes of Turbo Jam.
Now that school (work) is done for the summer, I plan to get out for a walk/jog at least 4 mornings a week....that should add up pretty quickly!
Hope everyone had a great day....holiday if you're in the States!

Hi ladiessssssss, finally got my tail in here. Dust, ty for starting the July thread for us all : ) Dea, Jasmine, and Journey....welcome girls :)

Dea, hi there : ) We usually post our exercise minutes in a chart format (as dust is doing). If you want, take a peek at the june ex. challenge to see how we do it. Everytime you post, you just plug in the date and minutes. I love reading the posts, so by all means post away but after you post I think it would be helpful to post your exercise in the chart manner as it is so much easier to add up your minutes at the end of the month, plus we can clearly see each others charts and alsooooooo, it sure is neat to print out the shedule at the end of the month and keep for our records! :) Just a suggestion, our exercising is what's most imporant, regardless of how we choose to post it....just thought it would be easier for you to keep track of your minutes in chart form and to be able to print it out after and see all of your hard work :)

Okay, as for me....I am getting a late start indeed ladies. I'll just start from today and am tapering my minutes down yet once again to 1000, if I exceed it that's fine....but at least want to hold myself accountable and keep in the groove right now.

Take care, hope you all have a super day. I have nothing to report yet so I will be back to post my chart when I get t his tail of mine moving!

thanks for the suggestion.
After going thru the June challenge thread, I can see the benefits of keeping track that way. thanks again!
