Time for the May Challenge!

Sign up and confirm the minimum hours you will spend burning those pesky calories. You can do any form of exercise; walking/cardio/strength...its your choice!

how will we calculate the hours:
if you do 45 minutes of exercise per day for 20 days in May; total number of hours = (45minutes*20 days)/60 minutes per hour = 15 hours

we shall check in on every Saturday starting from 3rd May, 10th May, 17th May, 24th May & 31st May

so please pledge in your hours and work it out!



i pledge 18 hours for May 2014.

    Hi maybe you need to vary your workout routine. if you are doing the same type of exercise again and again; you use the same muscles. variation is very important. try out something new this month. if you are walking only, try the cardio and strength exercises on fitness blender. if you are only doing cardio, try out weight training. or join an aerobic or zumba class nearby. that should help break the plateau
