  • Happy Halloween everyone! Tomorrow is the start of a new month and, of course, a new challenge! I bypassed my October goal of 600 mins by 40 mins. So this month, I'm doubling it up, shooting for 1200 mins.
  • I'm going to aim for 45 mins of cardio every day of the week, 45 mins of strength training 4 times a week and pilates twice a week!
  • 11/1 ~ 30 mins
  • Hope it is okay for me to join. I need this type of a challenge. My goal will be 500 minutes for the month which will include walking, and weights.
  • my goal for this month is 650 minutes of mainly running
  • My goal for November is 1200 minutes

    Nov 3 Walk Away The Pounds tape 30 minutes, Strength Training (abs) 15 minutes

  • Ok, here is my schedule for the week (for the month too)
    Monday - Curves (30 min) and Water Aerobics (Easy Does it class 45 min.)
    Tuesday - Aqua Yoga class (30 min.) and Tae Kwon Do (45 min.)
    Wednesday - Curves (30 min.) and Aqua Arthritis (45 min.)
    Thursday - Aqua Yoga (30 min.) and Tae Kwon Do (45 min.)
    Friday - Curves (30 min.) and Aqua Arthritis (30 min.)
    Saturday - Curves (30 min.)
    Sunday - whatever I feel like doing that isn't scheduled. I try to take Sunday pretty much off though. I need a break at least one day per week.

    I like doing Curves and the water stuff because the water stuff seems to work all the same muscles but in a different way. Probably some other muscles that curves doesn't work too. And Tae Kwon Do is totally different from either one of the other two. I really get a lower body workout with tae kwon do! Upper body too, but not to the same extent.

    The only other thing I am doing is a weight lifting routine at home, using dumbbells, every other day, full body. Very low key though. I only use 2 lb dumbbells for right now. Once or twice a week I play with my resistance bands too.

    I am trying not to overdo it, as I am just now getting back into exercise after a knee surgery. Prior to that I wasn't doing much cause my knee was hurting way too much. I was on crutches for 6 weeks and have only been off them now for two. I also have fibromyalgia so I can't overdo it anyway.

    I have found that the water aerobics classes are wonderful!!

    Good luck everyone. I hope you all meet your goals.
  • Wow kitkatbahr....you have a great regiment!

  • Ok.. I'm a few days late I started Slim in 6 on the 1st - and I'm loving it!

    My goal is to stick with it and do the first 5 weeks of it this month. (6 times a week) It's a total of 1236 mins for the first 5 weeks, it increases every two weeks: 25 mins/day week 1 & 2, 48 mins/day week 3 & 4, 60 mins/day week 5 & 6.

    There's also some bonus videos that I may do on the 7th day... but I'm not including them in my goals, I'll just post them.
