  • I'm doing another challenge that will last me until December, so this month it will include doing cardio and strength training once per week for 2 weeks, then doing 2 days of cardio and one of strength for the last two.

    I also hope to walk at least 15 minutes per day. Not only for the exercise, but to clear my head and get some peaceful time to reflect.
  • Goal: 30 miles of biking

    8/1: 3.0 miles
  • My August goal is a daily walk, starting with 5 -10 min. (Increasing as I meet this daily goal).

  • I met my goal today, we took a 30 minute walk at work. It ended up being a bit of a quick walk--as soon as we got it outside it started pouring. We were soaked when we got home.

  • Gardenerjoy,

    Please can I return, tail between my legs. I "joined" the April challenge but my resolutions totally fell by the wayside.

    Goal this month is 650 minutes. This doesn't seem like much but will have a lot of company & family reunion this month so exercise opportunities will be challenging!

  • me too me too...
    hi,
    i too will try to inspire myself with the august challenge... i am 185 lb now... my goal is 176 pounds by the end of august...
    i weigh myself every morning after refreshing and without any intake of food or water.
    i am in an on-again off-againcrelationship with the gym.. but i think i want a permanent (healthy and fit) relationship with my body....
    my plan:
    daily calorie intake of <1200
    daily workouts: elliptical cross trainer- 20 mins (-200 calories) and callisthenics: 20 mins (calorie loss depends on what i choose to do..)
    i plan to workout atleast 5 times a week...
    with this... (i am already feeling good about this), i hope i reach my goal this month!!!
