I'm doing another challenge that will last me until December, so this month it will include doing cardio and strength training once per week for 2 weeks, then doing 2 days of cardio and one of strength for the last two.

I also hope to walk at least 15 minutes per day. Not only for the exercise, but to clear my head and get some peaceful time to reflect.

Is it OK if I join? My August goal is to do Pregnancy Yoga every other day starting from tomorrow. :)

I met my goal today, we took a 30 minute walk at work. It ended up being a bit of a quick walk--as soon as we got it outside it started pouring. We were soaked when we got home.

Yoga done today!

3rd August - Done

Gardenerjoy,

Please can I return, tail between my legs. I "joined" the April challenge but my resolutions totally fell by the wayside. :(

Goal this month is 650 minutes. This doesn't seem like much but will have a lot of company & family reunion this month so exercise opportunities will be challenging!

me too me too...
 
hi,
i too will try to inspire myself with the august challenge... i am 185 lb now... my goal is 176 pounds by the end of august... :dizzy:
i weigh myself every morning after refreshing and without any intake of food or water.
i am in an on-again off-againcrelationship with the gym.. but i think i want a permanent (healthy and fit) relationship with my body....
my plan:
daily calorie intake of <1200
daily workouts: elliptical cross trainer- 20 mins (-200 calories) and callisthenics: 20 mins (calorie loss depends on what i choose to do..)
i plan to workout atleast 5 times a week...
with this... (i am already feeling good about this), i hope i reach my goal this month!!!:carrot::dust:
