    It's September...the lazy days of summer have passed...this month, you have 3 options:

    1) Move and shake it for 360 minutes a week ...so, put down that mouse and get going
    2) Burn 2500 calories with a HRM
    3) Measure your abdoment and lose 1/2" to 1"

    Who's up for this challenge? We go from Monday to Sunday

    Walk a dog, don't have a dog, borrow one....plant a garden, weed someone elses...put down those car keys, ride a bike...start a new sport...let's get going

    You can modify any one you want....who's gonna hustle and find their groove in September?

    I'm totally up for this challenge. I think my goal will be #1 - 360 minutes per week (minimum) with the added requirement that I do at least 20 minutes every day. There's no reason why I can't work in at least a 20 minute walk each day. Obviously I'll have to do much more on some days to hit 360 per week, though! I did about 380 minutes last week, so if I can keep the ball rolling I've got this in the bag. :smile:

    I'm in. I'm going to try the 360 minutes a week. I walk for 16 minutes while on my lunch break at school. There will be some days I will have to walk longer because I go to school all morning til 3 then on some days I work at 4 til 9:45pm. and that hour driving is just to get to work lol I know I can do this though. :)

    I just joined another group but why not join this one two. I work at the gym so there is NO REASON I cannot make the 360 minutes.

    The ugly truth:
    Height: 5ft 7
    Current weight: 167lbs
    Goal weight: 125

    Chest (taken below bust line): 34
    Waist (natural bend): 35.5
    Abs (at belly button): 37.5
    Hips: 39.5 in
    Arms: 12.5 in
    Thighs: 22 in
    Calves: 14 in

    Goal is 90-90 minutes of cardio 6 days per week
    2 days of strength training
    ideally, I would like to lose 10 lbs this month but as long as I see results with loss in inches I am happy.
    Reward: new make-up for fall.

    Hello everyone! Just checking in for today!

    I did 40 minutes on the elliptical and 20 min on the bike for a total of 60 min. Might try to walk later depending on how much schoolwork I decide to get done.

    So...
    60/360 min completed so far.

    Since my goal is inches lost, I measured myself this evening. Here is my ugly truth:

    Weight: 141
    Goal: 125
    Bust: 37.5
    Waist (smallest): 32.5
    Waist (belly button): 35
    Abs: 37.25
    Hips: 42
    Thigh: 25

    My goal for the month of September is 10 lbs.
    My weekly activity goal is 225 minutes of strength training
    plus 120 minutes (minimum) of aerobic activity.

    My plan for tomorrow: Run for 40 minutes + walk for 20 minutes.

    Hi, would love to join. Haven't had much luck or motivation to keep moving so if I am accountable to others then myself that should keep me moving.

    I'll have to make up for not exercising yesterday, unless you count last minute school shopping and such.

    I'm in as well! I'm really shooting for 360 minutes of exercise and would LOVE to compliment that with burning 3500 calories. I've been focusing on more strength training so I'm not sure I'll hit that calorie goal, but I sure will try!

    Monday (Running/Misc) - 50 mins/471 cals

    Remaining: 310/3029

    Good luck everyone!
