EXERCISE accountability for February 2009
 

Welcome to the exercise accountability thread for February 2009. Whether you walk, run, swim, cycle, bellydance, or shred, let's start off the month right and keep it up all month long!

:woops: :trampo: :belly::running: :lifter: :bike2: :strong: :swim: :exercise:

This thread is to keep us accountable and keep us motivated and above all to keep us moving! All are welcome, and feel free to join the thread at any time. Some people post a goal for the month, some just keep track of what they do every day. It's not important how you do it, we just need to do it!!

OK, I have opened this thread 6 times now and read it... then closed it... then thought about going back... and didn't...

Hi, my name is andrea and i hate exercising.

My GOAL: 20 mins on my stair stepper and a circuit (20 jumping jacks, 20 lunges, 20 squats, 20 reps w/weights, 20 bicycle crunches, 10 pushups x3) or some other kind of cardio... but i don't want to do less than 20 mins on the stepper- all 5x a week.
