    I did a strenuous hike, less than 3 miles but over 400 ft rise in elevation in less than 1/4 mile. I approximate that portion at around 30% grade. The total time was about 100 minutes. Plus last night I did 20 minutes of yoga and 15 minutes of yoga this morning. So that is 135 minutes total.

    Personal total: 510 + 135 = 645
    Group total: 12,708 + 135 = 12843

    Wow. SO much to catch up on! I'm still out of town but have a quick chance to post... I've got 99 min over the past 3 days (gym, walking, swimming).

    Norma -- Just to add to what Misti said -- This thread started because I DID NOT want to exercise and was trying to find a way to motivate myself (and then Valerie asked to join). I am NOT a super jock but have slowly increased my exercise over time!

    Group total ~ 12,928 + 99 = 13,027 min

    We are going to break a record, for sure -- I thin kour biggest month so far was just over 16K!!

    Heather: Thanks so much for the info. You have lost so much and if you had trouble with exercise, like me, I know that I can do it.
    Misti: I checked out the treadmills. Thanks to a message from Suzanne3fc on advice to check out Consurmer Reports. She even provided the link! I will need to study on that.
    Good news. I found the bolt missing from my stationary bike so now I can get back on it and I bought the "Walk Away The Pounds" dvd, so I'm back.

    Group = 13,153 + 30 = 13,183

    This thread is the *best* thing for getting me to actually keep my exercise committment. Weighed in this morning and have sweated off another 3.6 pounds! Then I got up and did 60 minutes -- TurboJam 20 minute cardio and 40 minutes doing TurboJam Turbo Sculpt.

    August exercise goal: 340/500

    New Group Total: 13,255 + 60 = 13,315
