Happy 2014 !!

Time to make exercise a higher priority. I will set daily goals for the month of January, and come here to confess if I've met them. Bottom's up!

I backed off exercise due to health reasons, but this thread has spurred me to start anew. I spent some time yesterday setting up for success, and I found FitnessBlender videos. There are lots of them, so I should have fun trying them out.

Wed 01 Jan: TWO FitnessBlender Videos
Thu 02 Jan: ONE FitnessBlender Video
Fri 03 Jan: ONE FitnessBlender Video (so far!)
Sat 04 Jan: No videos, Sweating to housework and Carpentry work
Sun 05 Jan:.....school starting....losing track
Thu 09 Jan: ONE FitnessBlender Video

Fri 10 Jan: ONE FitnessBlender Video

Lightbulb Returned to Set Up Visible Monthly Schedule

First of all, I see some great goals here everyone so here's a big that you all do great this coming month.

I see that some of you have set up a calendar so I think that I will do that as well and then search for it (hopefully finding it also):

Also, in the interest of not writing a book what I am doing I will take advantage of the smilies here. So, here is the legend:

carrot by each one means I did it!

1: W(cardio-Leslie Sansone)
2: TH (free weight workout---upper, lower and core exercises)
3) F (cardio)
4) SA (free weight workout---upper, lower and core exercises)
5) SU (yoga and/or flexibility dvd for RA)

I hope I'm not too late to join in! My goal for January is to complete a total of 15 workouts (averaging 3 per week, but allowing flexibility if needed). I also have built in a little incentive for myself if I meet my challenge ($40 to buy books), with the potential to earn extra for each additional workout completed ($5 extra per workout).

1- 1/2/14, 20 minutes walking 3.5 mph, 30 minutes strength training
2- 1/3/14, 60 minutes walking on treadmill (10 3.5 mph, 50 3.0 mph)
