Congratulations, gang, on your awesome May Challenge!
Please take a few minutes to tally your stats for the month and give a summary of what you've done... minutes or miles walked, stretched, swum or whatever you've down.
For the Challenge Winner, I just need to know whether or not you exercise for at least five minutes for 28 days. (I didn't! but I did a LOT of swimming, so that's good) If you did, please post in caps, "I COMPLETED THE CHALLENGE" or something like that. In a few days, I'll pull a name from this group from a hat and you'll get a prize. I have a few prizes in mind, so will give the winner a choice.0 -
My May Challenge stats:
I did a little bit of stretching and yoga, but most of my exercise this month was in the water:
8 hours and 40 minutes of lap swimming
7 hours and 25 minutes of aquasize/water aerobics
1 hour and 30 minutes of water tai chi
That's 17 hours and 35 minutes of exercise this month! woohooo!!!!
My goal for June is to complete 30 hours.

Wow! I can't wait to tally up our stats and see what we achieved as a group!0 -
I COMPLETED THE CHALLENGE - just took one day off this month. My other days that were less rigid I still made a point to get outside and do something with my son to get moving a bit.
568 mins walking
390 mins of yoga
19 mins additional stretching
33mins aerobics or dancing + uncounted minutes playing football etc with Dean
5 mins running whoop getting this one up next month
150 minutes of extra cleaning ( i don't count the regular kind now as it is part of my day to day activity but I count stuff that is extra effort like Spring scrubbing)0 -
I COMPLETED THE CHALLENGE...just barely lol. I exercised exactly 28 days after having to take off the one day wrapped in an ace bandage and two other off days. Thanks Karen for coming up with this because honestly I think it pushed me to do more than i would have normally did. Normally I would have probably just exercised a few days in a month so for me to even complete this is a miracle in itself. Thanks again for motivating us. :flowerforyou: Congrats to everyone for at least putting forth an effort period to try to do more this month, whether you made it or not, it is a step in the right direction!!
My breakdown is:
Zumba: 27 minutes
Swimming : 62 minutes
Aerobic dancing: 18 minutes
Treadmill: 10 minutes
Exercise bike: 5 minutes
Weights: 10 minutes
Water Aerobics: 5 minutes
Walking: 540 minutes...or 9 hours!!!! ( I just estimated an hour for the days we were camping even though I know we walked alot more than that! I have no clue though how much longer it was )
Deep Cleaning: 60 Minutes , Tish I did the same thing. I do not count the regular daily cleaning, just when I really work hard doing the deep stuff that doesnt get done as often.0 -
Forgot to say I COMPLETED THE CHALLENGE0
-
I would say I did not complete this challenge. This simply because I ended up in so much pain I just stopped moving. Whether it is needing new shoes (which I can't afford right now) or whether it is my body, my concentration has become rigid tracking and planning so that I can get lighter and therefore able to do more.0

I walked/jogged 197.9 miles!
I COMPLETED THE CHALLENGE!
There was only one day when I didn't exercise at all.0 -
