Hi all,
Thanks to those that have joined the group so far, I am super excited for January! I'm so pleased we have an accountability group and I really do hope this helps you with your goals.
I wanted to start a challenge for January to kick start the group. It would be great if you join this challenge but it's not compulsory although I would really encourage it.
For January, the challenge will be to log a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise a day on this thread. You can walk, hike, jog, run, do an aerobics video....anything you want as long as we are burning calories. Once your 30 minutes are complete, we log it here on this thread and share the exercise we did and if you know, the calories burned.
This challenge will start on Monday 1st January - Wednesday 31st January 2018!
Good luck!

Can I join if I only do 5 days a week? I'd like to help keep me accountable, but I know I won't be doing 7 days a week. I typically do a circuit session 2-3 days a week and some core/body work 2-3 days a week. One of my goals will be to have a more structured workout program.2

Absolutely! Don't forget that even a 30 minute walk will count. It's just to get everyone moving

I haven't worked out yet today, but I was thinking about the format of reporting our workouts/progress. I love this idea, but personally I have trouble if I can't see everything in one spot. Due to this, I created this Google Sheet - https://goo.gl/2DYAc8. It's a way that I am also going to track my workouts/progress. I've made it editable to anyone with the link, so if you're like me and like to see every thing on one page feel free to add your information and we can work together on it. 3
