May SBD Exercise Challenge


  • Calling all Exercising Beachers

    Spring has sprung and all those heavy clothes are heading for storage. Tank top season is almost upon us, are you ready?
    Whether you are new to exercise and just getting into the groove or a seasoned exercise queen, staying accountable can really make a difference.
    So come on in and join us this month.
    This is the place to set your goal, stay accountable, and cheer fellow Beachers on for that extra hour, mile, or pose.

    Just set your goal then check back in each day.

  • OK I am going to try posting again

    Goal: SOMETHING every day, even if I have to count a 10-minute walk. That about sums up how bad I am currently... basically I have no excuse if I am at home and if I am away I can at least get a walk in.

    Plan: More incidental movement (walking/stairs). More dedicated exercise (yoga/jogging/weightlifting).

    May 1 - 40 min walking, 60 min yoga
    May 2 - ARGH already off plan ... was in my gym clothes, then a bunch of things happened and it was 10 pm and I was starving so I ate instead ... oh well
    May 3 - 40 min walking, 60 min yoga
  • I am in, not setting a goal for this month because I am TERRIBLE about exercise but I figure if I am tracking it here, it might give me a push because I'll be ashamed to not be doing anything and having it posted publicly. lol So we shall see!
