Welcome!
...To the December exercise thread! We're trying to make exercise a habit, give ourselves some accountability, and get healthier in the process!
In this thread, we're setting the number of MINUTES we want to exercise for the month -- whether it's walking or swimming or housework! Early in the month (or before it starts) 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.
We're also tracking how many minutes we have exercised as a group! To date, we have exercised almost 180,000 minutes! Here's the monthly breakdown:
January: 9418 minutes
February: 11,129 minutes
March: 15,917 minutes
April: 10,700 minutes
May: 16,091 minutes
June: 13,603 minutes
July: 14,758 minutes
August: 26,640 minutes
September: 21,748 min
October: 20,639 min
November: 18,166 min
TOTAL: 178,809 minutes thru November
We blew past our 100K goal... and are setting our sights on 200K!! It's going to be a stretch -- help us, and get fitter in the process!
Please first post your goals and then add your minutes (for yourself and the group) and get some support and accountability!
If you want to join us during the month -- GREAT! Just let us know how many minutes you want to exercise in what's left of the month!
Finally, if you're new to this, pay attention to how to add your minutes to the group... people get confused if they can't easily see our new total. I recommend showing the previous total, then your minutes, then the new total (which should be the sum of the other 2 numbers). For example, if the group had done 500 minutes already and you did 30, here's what you would do:
Group total ~ 500 + 30 = 530 minutes
Let's get moving and shaking in December!!
