Default 300+ Jammin' June Exercise Thread

WELCOME!!

to the June 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 June!!! What do you say chicks and roosters??

Minutes so far:
19,474 January
12,537 February
16,953 March
22,397 April
23,779 May

95,140 min thru May

Come on -- June is a perfect month to kick it up!!! We need to get to our halfway point (102,676 min) to stay on track!

My June Goal is 540 per week. I'll be gone the last 11 days of the month traveling so whatever exercise I get will likely not be counted.

For the first three weeks that would make my total goal 1620.

EDIT: Changing my monthly goal total to 1930 Minutes.

It is summer, no more homework or studying for exams! I will however start going to the gym on campus three days a week starting tomorrow so I am going to set my goal at 600. Being out of the house should help me not have excuses.

I did horribly last month, didn't get to anywhere near where I wanted to, so I'm scaling down my estimate and going to try for 800-900 minutes. Going for a walk this evening to start me off...

June is shaping up to be a truly challenging month, with 3 different sets of visitors and 2 unavoidable trips --- I am so not looking forward to this! I am shooting for 1500 minutes this month. To get started, 60 minutes of walking and 30 minutes of weights today.

Personal: 90/1500
Group: 245 + 90 = 335.
