Elliptical, sometimes Running, but I have bad knees.

Walking! Maybe we could all hit a however many miles walked or ran?

My activities include running, kickboxing, spinning, sports agility, strength training, zumba and yoga.

walking, lunges, squats, lifting small weights for peole who don't do it all the time. I want to be able to run in the future for a long distance xx

I ride the bike (stationary and regular), do zumba, use the elliptical, started doing some rowing (machine), strength training, circuit training, swim, aquafit, walk the dog, and that is about it. I love to try new things too, so bring it on. Whatever you put out, I will try.

Thanks for putting together this challenge.

Aerobics, elliptical, biking, swimming/water aerobics, pilates

I'm a walker myself, that's my main/favorite type of exercise.

I'd like to start jogging soon, I also have a hula hoop and hand weights - Maybe one of the mini challenges could be to try a new type of exercise for a week or two.

Thanks for much for starting this group!

What about having choices for each challenge? One option could be something that anyone can do, such as walking, lunges, crunches, etc...and the other option could be something that might not work for everyone but can still appeal to different groups of people (for example, one week it could be the elliptical, and another week it could be a YouTube video). That way, there's always something for everyone, but there are options for people to take advantage of gym memberships, computer access, etc.

Pinterest also has great at-home and quickie exercise ideas


Edited for typo.

I currently do the elliptical, fitness videos,and walking mostly. However, I am game for anything and to stretch my boundaries a bit.

I like Moxie42's suggestion of having choices for each week!

Yea I was thinking of doing a miles activity. Liking the suggestions so far

Another idea is time. Recently had a coach and she suggested 10 minutes of exercise every day. The concept is to get into the habit of exercising every day. Same time is preffered. And the added bonus to comitting to 10 mins daily is you usually exercise longer!

i agree , cause my exercises are done @ home w/ot equipment and i do alot of walkingand workout videos

There could be a challenge that involves distance so anyone could walk or run it. And another challenge could be number of minutes working out. That way it would include classes, videos, or at home workouts. Maybe one week we can be challenged to try something new. Just some thoughts.

Great idea for a challenge and perfect timing -- thanks for setting this up! :flowerforyou:

I'm up for anything, though having a choice would be nice. How about an 'eat your vegetables' challenge? That's one area where I often need a push.

I'm starting 30 minutes of Wii fit exercises in the morning with my niece. Then if I have time after work, a 20 minute bike ride or walk with my dog. As soon as I find I am breathing better, I am attempting the 30 Day Shred. I plan on doing what I can each day and set a goal to be on my feet doing something (housework, walk, errands) until 7PM.

I second and third many of the great ideas...walking...jogging....minutes of exercise...even somewhere I saw once where people accumulated miles as if they were walking across the county.

I'm very excited to have stumbled upon this group, it will be a huge help to me for the fall when I tend to turn into a hermit, and stop doing anything !!!!
