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

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)

Welcome, everyone! I'll compile our initial goal list tomorrow, so there's still time to join!
