  • Okay here we go. I am going to start us off with 15 minutes of weight training

    Personal total - 15/1200

    Group total -= 15
  • Misti -- A west coaster even getting us started -- you ROCK!!!

    In case others missed it, we went over 20,000 minutes in June and recorded more minutes than any other month this year (20,288 so far -- there may be some stragglers).

    July's a day longer -- how about we beat last month's achievement?????
  • Heather I admit that is why I went ahead and posted my minutes right away instead of waiting until tonight... being a "left coaster" I NEVER get to start off the thread!! But this time I was up early and got it!! Ha! That and the fact that I just could not stand seeing my "empty" Excel July exercise chart after all the pretty lines on the June one! It still looks pretty pathetic though... have to get those lines built up!!

    It really helps that I am getting so much exercise equipment set up in my living room and don't even have to go to the fitness center to work in a few minutes!

    Yay on our breaking the record!!!
  • Heather - I am up to doing my part to beat our June exercise minutes...I have upped my personal goal from 600 to 650 for July. Not much, but every bit helps, right?

    Walked my little poochie for 30 minutes this morning.

    GROUP TOTAL 15 + 30 = 45

    (WOW, I don't think I've ever posted this early in the thread!)
  • ok, trying some new stuff so 20 min abs video and 40 min pilates. I thought since I do all this cardio and weights the pilates would be smooth sailing. I had to modify the beginner modifcation, LOL

    GROUP TOTAL 45+ 60 = 105
  • My effort for the day so far.

    Personal total - 40/600

    Group total = 105 +40 = 145

    Yahoo!!
  • 33 minutes walking for me. Just about too hot for it today... I'm going to really have to think about indoor exercise strategies for July if I'm going to meet my goal.

    Group total: 145 + 33 = 178
  • 20 min treadmill and 45 min DDR = 65

    65/1000 = personal

    Group Total 178 + 65 = 243
  • Im in for 600
  • Adding 97 more today -- 77 minutes water aerobics and 20 mins weight balls.

    Well since I am the last poster I am going to edit this to add another 30 minutes... 15 each of weight balls and weight bands. I found the NEATEST "light" but effective exercise I can do with the weight bands to strengthen my legs AND arms, and I also think it will be helpful to stretch my pulled muscle. Just lie in bed and wrap a weight band around my foot/feet and raise and lower arms/feet while stretching the band. I feel I am getting a super combination now of cardio and weight training.

    Personal total = 142/1200

    Group total = 243 + 97 = 370
  • 20 minutes of sweaty rearranging ( and late spring cleaning.. still on that declutter kick..lol).

    personal 20/600

    group total 370 + 20=390
  • 45 minutes on the treadmill.

    GROUP TOTAL 390 + 45 = 435
  • 45 Cardio 50 Weights
    Group Total 435 + 95=530
  • Well I am glad that I sweat from working out because with the type of summer we've been having so far, torrential rains, and cold weather, I might feel a little wrong posting under the subject title of this thread LOL. But anyway sweat I will definitely do from working out, and this month I am aiming on doing 1500 minutes!

    So to get me started:

    Personal Goal: 60/1500

    Group Total: 530 + 60 = 590
  • 590+30=620
    my only goal is to get in at least 30 minutes a day on treadmill as much as possible
