Started the morning with 90 minutes of water aerobics

1021 + 90 = 1111
2000 - 1111 = 889 still to go for July

Group total = 7322 + 90 = 7412

Personal Total : 590 of 840

Group Total : 7412 + 30 = 7442

636 for the month
group total: 7442+29=7471

If you don't mind, I think I will jump in for the remaining month of July.

Let's see...It is July 15th. For the remaining month of July, I hope to get in 360 minutes of exercise. That is 6 days/week of 30 minutes each day.

Jen -- WELCOME!! I'm glad you found us!

hpnotq -- Way to go on meeting your goal! I guess you're just going to have to set a higher one for August, huh?

45 for me today... 30 min lifting at the gym and 15 min bike ride. Hubby and I both can't believe how much easier it is for us to tolerate the heat now!! Whether it's the reduced fat around us or the fact that we're in better shape, I don't know, but I don't feel like melting!

Group total ~ 7471 + 45 = 7516 min!

30 mins NuStep + 30 mins swimming laps + 15 mins water aerobics

493 + 75 = 568 mins

Group total: 7516 min = 75 = 7591 min

Spent the day at the fair grounds at a horse show. Not lots of aerobics, but I got around during the course of the day. I wish I knew how many calories braiding horses was worth LOL. I'm going to give myself 2o minutes of exercize credit, but it feels like cheating.

20 + 7591 = 7601

Managed a couple of walks with hubby yesterday and today. 50 mins yesterday (poor hubby wasn't up to walking at a fast pace for any longer) and 80 today along the river. Today we went in the morning, but yesterday we went in the afternoon, after spending the morning walking around a few malls, so maybe that made a difference to hubby's stamina. We kept up a good pace today and probably covered over 5 miles.

Personal Goal... 370 - 130 = 240 mins left of July's goal of 1200

Group Total... 7601 + 130 = 7731

Great to see a new face or two.

Take care,

Zelma

40 minutes yesterday

Personal total 336+40=376 (July goal: 1085 / 709 remaining)

Group Total... 7731 + 40 = 7771

Ok - my convalescence is officially over, and I am back!! I did 20 minutes yesterday of walking which bring my total to 35. I am going to go for 700 minutes for July.

The group total is now 7,771 + 20 = 7,791

Nancy -- Welcome back! Take it easy on yourself!

Val -- I know what you mean about cheating counting walking around minutes. This is why I keep my pedometer on -- it tracks what it calls "aerobic minutes" which are at a certain, steady pace (though it lets you take short breaks, like to tie a shoe or wait for a light to change). It doesn't count them unless you walk for at least 10 minutes. So, now when I'm out and about, I record these aerobic minutes as exercise. It often motivates me to keep moving a minute or 2 longer than I might otherwise!

I had another great treadmill workout. I was thinking about how I am really able to do a more intense workout than I used to. Today I walked over 2 miles, but I did a lot of it at an incline, and I'm working in intervals of jogging. It used to be that I couldn't keep up at 4 mph, now I can choose to walk or jog at that pace and try to jog at 4.2 mph... and I'm working it up... I also used to have pain in my hip and back when I tried to jog, so I stopped. Now it's not there anymore!

Anyway, 40 min for me.

Group total ~ 7791 + 40 = 7831 minutes!

Personal Total : 620 of 840

Group Total : 8251 + 30 = 8281

Hi everybody

Wow, Kayley that is a huge amount of exercise! Good job!

Heather... LOL the pedometer also often "makes" me walk a bit longer as I am not going to go for 8 or 9 minutes and not get to count it.

I just did 20 minutes of dancing and 80 mins of water aerobics for a total today of 100 minutes.

Total for July = 1211
Goal 2000 - 1211 = 789 still to go

Group total 8281 + 100 = 8381

I just did 10 minutes of warm up (dance) and 60 minutes of weight training. It was hard not to be a bit discouraged by feeling I had fallen backwards from my time off. I just had to keep reminding myself that this will more than likely happen more than once in my life and the most important thing is to start back at it. I should be able to quickly work back up to where I was before, but I will be smart about it and not hurt myself. The last thing I need is an injury! That brings my total to 105.

The group total is 8381 + 70 = 8,451
