Exercise 250 hours in 2012 OR approx 21 hours in March!
 

Welcome all... People are always welcome to join. If you join In March, you can jump in for the remaining 210 hours of 2012 that remain or you can join us now for just the month of March which would be about 21 hours.

You can count in hours or minutes - whatever you prefer. 21 hours is 1860 minutes for March. 210 hours is 12600 minutes for what remains for the rest of the year.

If you add that up, exercising 250 hours for the year works out to exercising 5 hours a week for 50 weeks of the year. Not too much, but not too little either.

You decide what exercise you want to do. There is no passing judgement on what people consider exercise as movement is movement in my book!

Good luck and welcome to March!

Well, I am on track. How I don't know as I feel I haven't been doing as much as I should. I guess it's because last year I was doing more than what I am doing now so that it feels like what I'm doing now is not enough.

March 1 - nothing
March 2 - one hour of BodyStep

Whooop, glad this challenge is still here to keep me going :)

Melissa, you're doing really well, and keeping very active, don't feel bad for not doing enough!

In addition to this, I took up a challenge to commit to doing pushups vryday. I found another thread somewhere on this site for creative ways to get motivated! So, I put up(copied from this site!) on my status on fb that I will do 5 pushups for each like every day for a week!! 22 people liked it (friends find happiness in your misery!!)and I did 120 pushups each day...

Great going SlimCB and BerryBlondeboys!!!
I just seem to have lost the motivation.. Too much stress at home.. Am trying again to get back to my exercise regime..
59 hrs so far + 3 hours this week = 62 hrs in all.
I have also started the 30 day shred.. My 5th day and boy.. It looks so easy..but am so sore.. I count only my cardio(elliptical and running) here..so i feel like cheating if I add the 30 day shred hours here!!

Why not??? Its exercise! I think you should add it!

Why the heck would you not add it? It's exercise! Walking the dog is exercise. I think it's important for us to realize ALL what we do and to find ways to make our lives more active in general - choosing to walk to pick up kids from school istead of driving, for instance. All of that counts - builds muscle, burns calories and helps our bones. It's not all about getting skinny - it's about living healthier

Our electricity was off for several hours tonight. I went to bed early but now I'm up with a headache and can't sleep. Always something. At least the power came back on! :D

March 14 ~ I did about 25min of kickboxing, I followed this with 25min of an active stretching DVD which started with a kick series {which I had just ended with on the kicboxing dvd:dizzy:} then we went into lunges, then arms.

= 600 min

Loseit, I agree, you should add the Shred min also. :D
