Hello Everyone!

I've been a slacker this week. Only 60 minutes of aquaFit and 25 minute walk. Thats 85 minutes for me to add

Wyellen : I based my numbers on 3.5 weeks since dec started on a wednesday. As it is, I will be lucky to reach my goal *L*

Personal Total - 85 minutes up to dec 3

300+ group total - 446 minutes

Leanne -- Welcome and great exercise so far!!!

Brenda -- I know it's less movement for you, but you're still doing it! And when you're able, you'll be even more ready to kick fitness in the... So good for you!!

The 300+ exer-total is 446 minutes + [your time] -- bring em on! Let's get to 1000 minutes fast!!

Thanks

300+ total so far = 361 + 85 minutes my time= 446 min total!

Brenda Tell me about AquaFit. What is it? Where did you learn about it. Is is something you can do on your own, or do you have to do it as a class? I've done water aerobics of some type for many many years, but always in a class setting. Now that my schedule does not allow for me to do an organized class I'm looking for something I can do on my own. Tell me about it.

Hi Barb

AquaFit is basically water areobics. I do it in a class setting although it is available 6 days per week at different times here so scheduling it in sometimes is quite easy. They have classes morning and evening too. They also have water running and water walking here as well and even though that is mainly class setting as well, you could do that any time. Running is basically you wear a suspension belt and do it in deep water. you "run" for 1 minute and "walk slower" for one minute. Sometimes we set up different exercises like "water cross country skiing", pushups ( pulling yourself up on the side of the pool) and other things in each corner. That is something that you can do on your own as well. I know at my department store up the road, they sell water dumbells. These would be good when you are trying to do aquafit on your own time. They are basically pieces of pool noodles in the shape of dumbells and they help with resistance.

I walked for 33 minutes yesterday, so...
300+ exer-total so far = 476 + 33 minutes = 509 min total

Let's keep moving!

OK, I haven't actually been as active as I had planned, but I did get in one day.

509 + 35 = 544 Total

Greetings chickies!
Well, here is my goal for December exercise:

I pledge to complete 400 minute of purposeful exercise this month.

12/2/05 20 min. at home Lets move it!!!!

12/3/05 30 min. at home

12/4/05 30 min. at home

total= 120 min. 280 min. to goal

I finally exercised today. It was only 25 mins but it is a start! I gotta kick it in gear if I am going to meet my Dec goal!

544 + 25 min=569 Total

569 + 60 minutes = 629 minutes!!

Ok I haven't updated since the beginning of December
1st-3o minutes walking
2nd-30 minutes walking
3rd-60 minutes walking(we went to a parade so got lots of walking in) and 15 minutes exercise ball
4th-15 minutes exercise ball

My total is 150 minutes so I will add my minutes to the 629.

629+150=779 minutes

Wow -- look at these numbers! Great job everyone!!

Shadie -- I'm going to add your numbers to the totals too.

300+ exer-total 779 minutes + 120 minutes from Shadiepurple = 899 minutes!

Come on, let's get to 1000! (which is over 16 hours total)...
