I did 15 minutes of walking tonight while watching a movie. That brings my total up to 295. The group total is now 3128 + 15 = 3143

We are just KICKIN' IT!

Dolphingirl and Manda -- I know what you mean. I got off track last week and still feel like I'm behind in exercise. I'm trying to catch up too. But I also know that this IS about making a habit and the more weeks I worry about this, the more weeks I'm making it a habit!

brandnewme -- You are getting there! 60 min twice this week!

Nancy -- Good for you for making use of that TV time!!

I decided to workout with the balanceball tonight. My physical therapist would approve! Felt like "cheating" somehow, because my notions of exercise have been walking and strength/weights (sporadic that last). But if I'm going to be a healthy person, I want -- no I need -- to get that in a couple times a week for my back. So I included it! 33 minutes to add so

300+ exer-total = 3143 + 33 = 3176 minutes!

Not up to formal exercise, I've felt so good I have overdone it and the backs of my thighs are sore so I will walk up town, lots of steep hilly bits (I live in Derbyshire, UK). Shopping and window shopping with Aiden in his buggy, pushing him up & down hills should work my upper body too!!!! it should be for 60 mins at least.
3176+60=3236
Aren't WE doing well?!!! :carrot
xxxsharon

I got in another 25 minutes in the water yesterday, but will not make it today. Maybe I can get to the club sometime tomorrow.

3236 + 25 =3261

Sharon -- That walk does sound good -- how'd it go? And we ARE doing well!


Barb -- I hadn't noticed the exercise ticker before -- that's awesome!! Have you had that forever and I just noticed??

Hi there!!

Barb ~What a good idea with the exercise ticker!!!! I want one!!

well, I want to add my time for last night now before I forget But I am on my way upstairs to have another go at it once I finish cleaning.

Personal Total 150+15= 165 minutes

300+ exer total 3261+15= 3276 minutes!!

Brenda

HI all! Just checking in REEEally fast from Oklahoma. Yesterday afternoon we were in South Carolina, and we're on our way to pick up a load gonig to Florida, so we're movin! But before that I had a morning with a full 60 minute walk, and I've worked in 15 minutes of stair-stepping on a curb while I was walking the dog, so...

75 + 3276 = 3351 ... I think

Brenda -- You are on a roll!

Val -- Way to go -- and while on the road!!

I got another 40 min at the gym -- just about caught up to where I want to be for the month!

So, the 300+ group total is 3351 + 40 = 3391 minutes!!!

Wyllen - I like walking in front of the TV. It makes the time go by faster. We watched Troy last night and it was a pretty long movie. Tonight I walked while during Battlestar Gallactica (one of my favorite shows).

I did 20 minutes, which makes my total 315. At this rate I will hit my initial goal of 350 by the 15th, so I guess I underestimated myself. That actually feels really good because normally I always set such high expectations for myself that I end up failing. Not that I want to low-ball myself either.

The new group total is 3391 + 20 = 3411!

Hello hello!
Today, did probably about 60 minutes of walking...although, I spent 3 hours at the mall! LOL! About 60 of total "REAL" walking...hehe

So that's 3411+60=3471!!

I should go change my signature to reflect that, too!
I work Sat/Sun, so my numbers should be RISING even more.

I'd love to join in on this thread. I hope it is OK to join mid-month.

I tend to walk on the treadmill for 40 mins every morning and then have a go on the exercise bike for 30+ mins every afternoon/evening, so hopefully I'll be able to contribute to the total every day.

I did both bouts of exercise today (plus walked around 3 shopping malls and the city centre, but I won't count them as we just 'strolled') so that is 75 mins for the day (35 on the bike).

Group total - 3471 + 75 = 3546

Have fun exercising!

Zelma

Hi guys!

Another 30 for me!

Personal Total 165+30=195 minutes

300+ exer total = 3546+30=3576 minutes

Brenda

Zelma -- You are absolutely welcome to join! Hopefully it can help you stay accountable too -- though it seems you really have the routine down (I am working on building one). How did your routine develop over time, if you don't mind me asking. Do you do any weights too?

Brenda -- How many days in a row now -- that's awesome?!!

I've been AWOL from 3FC this week -- lots of late nights -- but I have been to the gym twice for my strength (50 minutes) + aerobic (50 minutes) workout.

So, our new group total is
3576 + 200 = 3776

Welcome, Zelma!!! Hi everybody! Visited the Curves in Morrilton, Arkansas, this morning. Best workout since I banged up my ribs! Only 2 machines I still have to be careful of. Since it's been a while since I could really put some OOOmph into my strength training, I did some extra -

42 mins + 3776 = 3818
