Can general daily steps be counted? I use a pedometer and also do 3 spin sessions a week, 2 yoga and one step?!
Not sure if I could fit in another session, I might keel over
Yes just set a number of steps and try beat it as the spreadsheet will give us scores out of 10 at the end of the week0 -
Oy!! Map My Ride doesn't give an accurate route on the routes I mark but alternative ones! What to do?? Is a pedometer a very expensive thing to buy? I would also need something that showed calories burned...0
-
Also, wouldn't it be easier to count time as well? I do a lot of in-place jogging at home...0

If you have a blackberry there is a free app called Endomondo. It links to the internet and maps your walk/run. It tells you how many calories you've burned as well.0

Boo!! Do you have a treadmill? It will tell you distance. Or a pedometer, you could probably convert your steps to miles or km online. I think I got my pedometer (which I haven't used in ages and have no idea if it still works, lol!) for about $10.0 -
What about those of us that do not use cardio as our main source of exercise? I only do 10 minutes a day as my cool down after I lift.0

Excited to try this out!!0

Thank you for organizing this group....I was needing some modivation and I think I found it!!
I have started 30 day shred last night for the first time. I should feel some pain later today!
also drinking my water and excited for the miles on the treadmill!0 -
Goal for Week 2 I will be walking 12 miles for the week! I usually only walk once or twice a week so that is a huge goal for me but It is definitely doable!!!0

Awesome! Thanks for the info! I had been wondering that. Now don't laugh but I actually drove around in my van the other day to "map out" my route to jog! But hey it worked and now I know from point A to point B how far it is (or rather from what block to what tree is an exact mile, lol!)0

Ooops, meant to quote not reply to an above reply! Geesh0 -
I plan on being able to run a full mile without stopping (I barely did a 1/2 today so this will be a good challenge) and completing a total of 3 miles jogged by week's end. Pray for me! :laugh:0
-
Sound great! I want to update but still can not access the spread sheet, not even sure if my details are showing there0
-
Am really excited about this challenge. I haven't been exercising at all so this will be a great way for me to get started. I aim to do at least 20 miles - that will definitely be a challenge for me.0
-
I set mine for 35 miles walk/bike.
I usually do 8 miles 4x a week, so I tacked and extra three miles onto that.0 -

I use nike + and active.com's couch 2 5k apps both of which help keep track of distance. Nike + is free & the c25k is $1.99 for any droid or iphone users. love both apps and help track how I am doing.0 -
I've added some KM's in for running and some general gym cardio equipment. This will be in addition to my standard routine so might be quite a challenge BUT will also make me mix up my current routine somewhat as I'm getting stuck in my ways.0
