    This looks good. I really need a kick up the backside when it comes to exercise as I'm always putting it off to the end of the day and then too tired to do anything. I respond well to challenges and group support so hopefully this is exactly what I need.

    In the 25 days left of September I will commit to 1500 minutes of exercise. That's 60 mins a day at least.

    This weeks minutes
    Cardio: 446
    Flex: 60
    Strength: 164

    The workouts are so various I thought I'd just categorize the main areas by minutes spent in that area.

    Total: 670/2500-3000

    Hey, it depends on what works for you really. You could use pen & paper, a spreadsheet, a fitness tracking app such as strava/runkeeper/fitbit, or any other method you use currently. Alternatively if you are only doing it for this challenge you can simply record it directly here in this discussion.

    Good luck!
