Default 300+ Manic Moving in May Exercise Thread


to the May exercise thread! We're making exercise a habit, giving ourselves some accountability, and getting healthier in the process!

In this thread, we track the number of MINUTES we exercise for the month -- whether it's walking or swimming or sweaty housework! Most of us set goals for ourselves (I personally will not exercise much without a goal). If you are a goal-setter, early in the month set your own goal! If you're just getting started, feel free to start with a smaller number of minutes (I did!), maybe just a few hundred. It seems easier for many of us to build on the habit rather than meet a very high goal right away. However, you can also just jump right in without a goal, and you can join us anytime in the month!

In 2007 the 300+ club exercised 205,352 minutes. Let’s break that record!

To keep track, just add your minutes to the existing group’s minutes. If you’re new, look at what other people are doing – it’s pretty easy to figure out! To help everyone keep things straight, please note the OLD minutes and the number of NEW minutes you are adding, such as
Group total ~ 500 + 50 = 550 minutes

We've made a great start and I'd love to see us hit 20K minutes for April!!! What do you say chicks and roosters??

Minutes so far:
19,474 January
12,537 February
16,953 March
22,397 April

71,361 min thru April (and on TRACK to beat our goal!!)

I am pledging 1600 minutes this month!

Started the month off this morning with 65 minutes at the gym (30 mins on the treadmill and 35 mins weight training-Upper Body/Abs)

Hope I can meet my exercise goal this month!

So...I must be the first entry this month.

Personal Total: 0 + 65 = 65 mins

Group Total: 0 + 65 = 65 mins

Hey, where are all the exercisers???!! Have you been moving and shaking all day??!

I did a lot of weeding today. Some of it a good upper body workout -- I pulled a lot of crap out of the ground. I'll count 20 min of it.

Group total ~ 245 + 20 = 265 min

ACK! I keep losing all these new May threads! I'm here, though --- I'm here! LOL

My goal for the month of May: 1600 minutes.

May1: 60 minutes treadmill + 30 minutes weights = 90 minutes. Wildlife = gym rats.
May2: 60 minutes treadmill. Wildlife = gym water rats (in the pool).
May3: 140 minutes walking outside at reclaimed gravel pits. Wildlife = coyote, blue heron, 2 kinds of egrets, many Canada geese, gadwalls (ducks), mallards, yellow-rumped warblers, American avocets, a bunch of cute turtles, 4 white pelicans.

Personal total: 90 + 60 + 140 = 290/1600
Group total: 605 + 290 = 895
