  • Hey Beachers - Those long sunny and warm summer days are behind us and it's time to get back on track. Now is the time to start really planning exercise into your day. Exercise not only helps with weight loss and maintenance, it can reduce stress and help you sleep better. There's no better time to make regular time for you then now.
    Join us for the September Exercise challenge.


    Whether you are a new exerciser working toward 10 minutes a day or an exercise pro just needing some place to stay focused, this is a great place to challenge yourself and stay accountable. So come on in and join the fun.
  • OH Jeez, you really had to post this didn't you? lol I've been trying to find so many excuses to not exercise but since my daughter is back in school and I have no more excuses I need to put on my big girl panties and just do it. Thanks for this thread I really need it to help keep me accountable & motivated!

    1. Deep cleaning my house ~ not traditional exercise but it get's my heart rate going and I'll be going all day!)
    2. More deep cleaning
    3. More deep cleaning (boy it takes a while to get it really clean!)

    4. Sunday is for rest and reflection at my house.
    5. I decided to reorganize while I clean so that's my new exercise.
    6. More reorganizing
    7. More reorganizing
    8. More reorganizing
    9. " "
    10. Since I cant use my feet for exercise I'm sticking with more organizing. I've found I can do a lot sitting down and since I'm constantly moving my upper body I'm getting a small workout every day.

  • I will try this. I need someplace to be accountable. I'm starting out slow with the 30 day shred. It's embarrassing but I haven't been able to do the whole 20 minutes yet, so my goal is to first be able to finish the damn workout, and second, to do it 3/week.

  • UPDATE: I'm definitely exercising more than I used to and did at least 5 days/week which is great for me! I think I would keep that goal and if I got 6, that would be extra good for me that week!

    OK I'll sign up, too!
    My goal would be to do something 6 days/week. I'll put down my plan for the month.
