My goal is going to be to exercise 3 times a week. I know its not a lot but it is a big step for me. Seeing as how i pretty much sit on my butt day in and day out. So i made myself a little calendar exercises get longer throughout the month. Katerina I stole your little set up hope thats okay.
Day 1:
2/1= 15 min stationary bike, 10 jumping jacks, and 5 crunches.
Week 1:
2/3= Did lots of walking. A lot more then usual.
2/6= 18 minute bike ride
2/7=
I'm loving the concept of these challenges! I'm not traveling for the next three weeks, so while I'm home I am setting the goal of hiking/walking for at least an hour a day 6/7days. I love using the app MapMyWalk to track the time and miles. I'll post my time and miles each week to track my progress. Good luck all!
Good morning all, I've been doing my program, need to get log and computer together so I can update my post, looking forward to an active Feb, wonder what the groundhog has to say!
My goal is to exercise at least four days a week, to be consistent, and to get on a schedule of sorts.
Week 1
Sat 2/1: Walk the dog 2-3 miles
Sun 2/2: Walk the dog 2-3 miles with weight vest, ankle, and wrist weights
Mon 2/3:
Tues 2/4:
Wed 2/5:
Thurs 2/6:
Fri 2/7:

both return "chickies" and "newbies"! I was reading y'all monthly goals and it sounds like we are taking ourselves and our fitness serious.
2/1: walking and stretching (later being pushed to higher priority!)-30 mins.
2/2: walking on treadmill -30 mins.; stretching-35 mins. strength exercises-25 mins.=total 90 mins. --got to make up for partying last night! celebrating 10 years here in Hot-lanta!

P.S. Again, my monthly goal is to exercise every day: combination of strength exercises done with free weights and machine; walking on treadmill and/or workout dvd (Leslie Sansone is fav right now) and stretching (Gaiam has some great ones!) In the month of January, I lost 1/2" each off of my hips, waist and upper thighs.
My goal for Feb is to complete weeks 5-8 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.
Week 5 -
Jan 29 - 1 set functional, 1 double cardio, 65 mins. treadmill
Jan 30 - 1 set functional, 1 set strength
Jan 31 - 1 set functional
Feb 1 - 1 set functional, 1 set strength, 1 cardio, 30 mins. exercise bike
Feb 2 - 1 set functional, 2 cardio, 3.2 mile snow hike w/little dog, 30 mins. exercise bike, 7.6 miles
One day late joining but I did complete a workout on February first.
My goal lets think manageable. 300 minutes a week/1200 for the month. Anything else is gravy. I also want to increase my steps by 500 a day. This week I go to 12500 steps a day.
Feb 1-7 Goal 300/ Completed 147
Feb 1 C25K W6D1 34 minutes. Walk 30 minutes. 13690 steps.
Feb 2 C25K W6D2 33 minutes. Walk 30 minutes. Walk/hike with the dog 20 min. 14618 steps.
