Anyone want to do a 250 hours of exercise in 2012?
 
That works out to exercising for an hour a day 5 times a week for 50 weeks of the year?

I would join the walk/bike/run challenge, but I would prefer to count hours at or instead of miles covered. Especially since I do strength training and step workouts and spinning which don't count miles/steps.

I"ll join you :) ... so far this year I've done 110 mins

qtkitty 01-02-2012 10:44 PM

I would like to join in!! I defintely need to get my kester up off the couch.

Well, there's a couple of us anyway and maybe morer will join in if they see we are active.

I'm off to a slow start as its January 3rd and I haven't exercised yet! Party on the 1st (plus really sore from a workout) and the 2nd I spent all day with my mentee, so today is the day I start.

I am doing a one hour spinning class this evening and tomorrow I'm signed up for a BodyStep class.

Hi

Berry ... Hope your spin class and step class went well ..
Qtkitty .. have you got started for the New Year ...?

I did an hour of cadio at the gym this morning so my 2012 total is 170 mins ....:)

berryblondeboys 01-03-2012 04:40 PM

Oh goodness me, not both in one day! I'm doing the spinning in about an hour and tomorrow morning the step class. I did a step class last Friday and was in pain for two days as I had stopped going for a month. Wow-wee! Butt and calves were screaming at me!

Good for you getting yours in!

HMM3 01-03-2012 09:28 PM

Oh that makes more sense ....

I miss doing classes but have switched to a gym only 24 hour place as I couldn't make the classes at the other gym when I went back to work full-time ... I loved bodystep and bodypump ...

I think 250 hours is a realistic goal for me ....

I'm on summer break from teaching at the moment so it is easy to fit it in ... so hoping to get a few hours ahead in January ...

I find winter is always the bad time for me .... so that's when I'll need the extra motivation !!!

not sure how I managed to post 2X

HMM3~ Wow your moving... I decided to count the time I walk up and down stairs(7-8 times minimum just at work and at least 2 times at home) and walk to my car its up hill one way and takes me awhile since I park as far from the building as possible on purpose... All together it adds up to about 15 minutes of moving a day.

I also went to the grocery store ( walmart superstore ) and speed walk for 2 hours ... Look out woman with a cart on a mission clear the isles ... bwahaha.. I am going to only count it as 1 hour though.

So that makes 1.25 hours of moving and grooving today

My back is spasming today I think I slept wrong last night or something so no traditional exercising tonight.

I'm in.... normally track mine by minutes though. My initial goal was 240 hours but what's 10 more hours right?

Today was my first day of exercise for the year and I did 5 mins on the elliptical to warm up and 60 mins of a Power Aerobics class. It was a bit rough but I made it through.

Total for today - 65 mins

HMM3 01-04-2012 06:05 PM

170 mins + 45 mins today = 215 mins

I walked a hill climb on the treadmill and a few jogs in the valleys to get the heartrate up a bit ....

Does anyone know how I can get the two tickers side by side?

Beck 01-04-2012 07:23 PM

I'll join! I'm doing the running challenge as well, but I'll log hours of all exercise here with you.

Here's to a fit and healthy 2012 for all of us!

Prism21 01-04-2012 07:58 PM

I'd like to join! I really like the idea of counting the time because I also do various forms of cardio and weight training.
Today: 90 minutes Stairmaster, 30 minutes weights: deadlifts, split squats
