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.

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)
My goal for Jan is to complete 4 weeks of Bob Greene's 12 week body makeover.
So this means I need to do 3 sets of strength exercises, 6 sets of functional and 6 cardio, 5 regular (30 mins) and 1 double (60 mins) per week.
1. Gym workout including 35 mins on elliptical and 3 sets of 12 reps on various weight machines including abs, thighs, butt, triceps, biceps and back
2. Pilates class and 20 minute cycle
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).
I am on my last day of my z-pack for my sinus and ear infection. I am feeling sooo much better. Sometimes you forget just how awesome it is to be able to breathe LOL. I hope to get in at least 45 minutes tomorrow.
January's Goal = 1000 minutes on the treadmill (next month track miles)
Welcome, everyone! So glad to have each of you here for the first exercise challenge of 2014!
Check to see that I got your goal stated a way that you like.
