The challenge for March is to MOVE IT TO LOOSE IT!

Nominate how many minutes a week you will be exercising for and then at the end of each week report how you did. Exercise can be anything from swimming, to walking, to DVD to pushups. Whatever you like for as long as you like.

Oh, there is one catch, each week you have to increase the amount of time you are going to move by at least 10 mins :)

    Hopefully I do better on this month's challenge than the last one!

    Okay, my goal is 400 minutes for the first week. I have no job, so I should be able to do this! Time to get my butt into gear!

    105 minutes down! I think maybe I should up my goal number :noway:

    I did LOTS of ab challenge catch up, dumbbell strength exercises, then a 30 minute Turbo Jam, mainly because I knew I was going out to dinner and a charity event this evening and there would be lots of calorie consumption.

    I would have left it at that, but my carefully planned meal was thrown off by the addition of an appetizer, and my two pre-planned glasses of champagne at the event were supplemented by waiters passing out an endless supply of hors d'oeuvres, and I couldn't resist the tiny custard and fruit tart and two teeny squares of rich fudgey moist chocolate cake.

    So I had to run to the pool as soon as I got home and did 35 minutes of laps.

    Hi All,

    My goal is 30 minutes, 5 days a week so... 150 minutes. (March 1- 10th).

    I've been able to accomplish this (mostly) by walking. Instead of taking the metro or bus, just walking.
