Exercise Challenge, Week of 6/12-6/19
 

What do you guys think? Are we up to an exercise challenge?

Everyone set your own personal goals of exercise for the week. We are all at different levels. Some of us are running 12 miles....others of us are doing good to get off of the couch. So what is your personal exercise goal for the week?

Remember, the more specific and simple, the easier it is to achieve!

My personal exercise goal for the week is...
Walk Away the Pounds, walking outside, or using the gazelle for at least 30 minutes 3 times this week. I know that's not much but exercise is a very weak point for me, and I'm trying to be realistic. If I can do more, then even better! But I want to do at least that this week.

I think my exercise goal will be to spend 1 hour a day (can be broken up) in the garden. I'll take a break on Sunday, but every other day I'll do it.

I will either hoe, cultivate by hand, or pull weeds.

Mine will be a minimum of 20 minutes on the Gazelle. Today I'll also be adding some flowerbed tending.

Monday
Gazelle for 20:32 minutes, 169.9 calories, 1.4 miles
100 tiptoes, 100 squats

Tuesday
Gardening (stretching, bending, yanking on weeds, using hand hoe) for 20 minutes
100 tiptoes, 100 squats, 100 pushups against the wall

Okay - is this like meant to torture me or something? Or just make me feel guilty? (cuz it's working!).

All right - I was going to put getting on and off the couch several times a day but don't think that will fly - so I will: exercise for 30 mins at least 3 times this week (probably walking). Anything more and I will probably get discouraged!

My goal is to exercise all week at curves. I will do Monday -30 minutes on treadmill and 5 minutes on running machine, then Tuesday the curves circuit 45 min - 5 minutes on running machine, and alternate the rest of the week with different exercise equipment...... Please pray for me.... I have to lose this weight!!!!!!!

I'll do 30 minutes on the treadmill at 2.9 mph (this is a slight increase for me) for at least 6 days. I'll do 7 if I can and I'll run every time I'm in the pool for at least 10 minutes.

Welcome fatgottago! Glad to have you joining us. Are you doing the core plan? I hope I didn't miss your posts somewhere else. I've been gone for a few days and am trying to catch up.

Angela, I like your goal of gardening! Two birds with one stone, right? :D

Kathy, you are so good with the gazelle. I need to use mine more.

Frouf, sorry! I am like you, I'm setting my goal low so as not to be too disappointed with myself. I have been dreading an exercise challenge but...I guess its a necessary evil!!

So...:coach:let's get to it!

my goal is to workout at curves 3 days.

Ok, I'm in. Like frouf and septembersgoal, I think getting up off of the couch should count for something. I was actually telling a friend of mine this past weekend that even though I love all kinds of fresh cherries, I rarely buy them, #1, because they are usually expensive and #2, because I am too lazy to remove the pits or spit them out, and I refuse to swallow them. How PATHETIC!!! :o Wonder if that could count as exercise???
Anyhow, I am going to commit to 10 minutes of exercise (constant movement) three times this week. I can do just about anything for 10 minutes. If it's going well, maybe I'll shoot for 20. No, type A personality issues here when it comes to exercise!
A motivated week to all!

Well, it rained last night, so I couldn't get out in the garden this morning. Guess I'll have to find something else to do for exercise. Hmmm.

Hey guys, asking for a favor. I intend to exercise tonight, 30 minutes on the gazelle (considering it is storming here). Would you guys ask me later if I've done it? Of course, now that I've posted it, I will feel the pressure. ;) Thanks.

I'll pound you on the head!! :rollpin: I mean ... I'll ask you later!

So when can we start asking? I will actually stay OFF my treadmill and not even walk outdoors as I want to be of greatest help to you in achieving your exercise goal. So I will definitely be around to see how you're doing!

Frouf:):):):)

Thanks! I'll be getting to it a little later tonight, after I eat. I'm so hungry!
And Frouf, don't make me :rollpin: you!

:rofl:
