in Fitness and Exercise
Since I started working out last March, I never exercised 7 days a week. I beleive it is important to exercise in some way everyday. Some days should be intense and others should be light, but exercising everyday is a must!!

So starting on January 1st 2010, I want to start my new challenge. It may look like a big one, but it is a lifestyle change!!!

If you want to join me, let's get ready!!!

    What exactly is the goal? Some kind of exercise every day? Does it have to be a certain length of time or intensity. I would like to join in, but just wanted to understand what I am shooting for here.

    Jenni, the intensity of your daily exercise is what you choose it to be. My challenge is to do some workout every day. One day, I could workout intensivly for 2 hours and the next day take an energetic walk for 30 minutes. The important thing is that one has to do a workout everyday, even on the weekends. Actually, it is the best time to go hiking with your significant other :love: Wether it is your dog, your friend or your partner in life.

    Are you up to it?

    Since the challenge is starting on a Friday, every Friday, the people who will have sucessfully completed their 7/7 will have a point and I will post the pointage table. The ultimate goal is to finish the year with a 52.

    So far, here are the ones who have shown some interest:

    I'm with you too!! A friend is here today and we did our work out together. I did my Ab King Pro, 1000 steps in my stairs and 1h20 of cardio on my different machines. 1/7 for me too!!! I did my stretching afterwards. I hope I'll feel good tomorrow. I had a cheese fondue yesterday and it shows on the scale :wink:

    Let's go, we can do it!!!!

    Wow - this is a pretty intense challenge...it seems like sucha big goal...Alrite - I'll give it a shot. I've always followed the method of thought that you need one or two rest days every week. But I guess with just some light cardio or weight work...it wouldn't hurt.

    It is a big goal...but here goes nuthin'

    Ok, I'm in! I have already been planning to challenge myself everyday this year. I am motivated, but need help with accountability.
    I went for a walk around the park today with my daughter so I am 1/7.
