Yay, Jenn!! :hat:
Go, Barb!!

(what's the matter, Little Chick... don't trust me not to delete the thread? :rofl: )

:p lol ellis I just figured that you have been busy lately ;) I know what a good job you can do updating things. ;)

Not sure what my goal was but I wound up for the last three weeks doing the elipse machine 40 minutes on Mondays and Tuesdays and walking/joggin 4.5 miles 3-4 times a week. I would like to continue this when I get back from vacation and add weight training.

cac

I have continued the running 3-4 days a week and have added the weight training. I had a personal goal of running 7 miles without stopping and I accomplished this!

So far for July I did over 340 minutes...so August I want to do 440 minutes or more.

Yes, include yoga in your exercise. I do.
