Hi all,
I was at a meeting today - and fitness was part of the discussion.
The comment was made that it takes 21 days to make a habit a reality.
I am starting a 21 day challenge for myself and would be really happy if you were interested in joining in.
I have been dealing with a back issue recently (chiropractor twice a week for the past 5...) and my motivation to walk or do any type of exercise disappeared when the pain was at its' worst!
I'm healing now - and need to challenge myself to make it a daily part of my day.
You can pick your type of exercise - Let's just ensure that it is a calorie burn that is from physical exercise (swimming, walking, running, physical sport ... even Wii Fit, etc)
05 MARCH 2013 - is my DAY ONE - and I did a treadmill (TM) walk at 3.5 / with incline - for 30 min and 3 / with incline for 5 min.
ADD - YOUR START DATE FOR YOUR 21 DAY CHALLENGE AND YOUR EXERCISE CHOICE FOR THE DAY.
Try to check in daily and report your success of completing exercise and what you chose to do. Your choice may inspire others in the challenge!
Hope to see many participants! :flowerforyou:

Hi tazmac2
I'll join your challenge, I'll start today as well. Tonight was technical training at tae kwon do, but I also power walked to every meeting I went to today. For the next 21 days, in addition to attending my TKD twice a week, I'm going to walk non-stop for at least 20 minutes, inside or out at least once a day, more if I can get it in, this means weekends too!! I just got some new orthotics today, so I'll be starting to use them gradually over the next week or so. I hope they help.
See you tomorrow!0 -

I'm glad I finished day 3 today too, what a workout for you!! Keep going!
For me it was about 50 minutes of running, kick practices and sparring techniques tonight. My heels are just burning right now so time for some ice I think. I also work my new orthotics again today for about 2 hours at work so my legs really ache. Tomorrow I think I'm going to have to take it easy. But0 -

I just joined MFP five days ago today and every day so far I've done a 25 minute, low-impact Beach Body workout video in the morning. Today, I got a shakeweight in the mail that I'm planning to add to my daily workout. So, I'm on day 5 of my own, personal challenge. 0
