January 2013 MOVE IT 180-360+ minutes a week Challenge

Are you ready to MOVE-IT, shake and wiggle those bodies??!!

January 2013 is here and so is a time to set new goals. What will the New Year bring for you? What are your fitness goals? Are you still getting in those workouts? Or are you just starting a workout program? Do you need a little more motivation? If so please join us.

We are a group who are committed to doing 180 to 360+ minutes of exercise each week (minimum 180). We count minutes for all types of intentional exercise: aerobics, walking, weight training, strength work, stretching or heavy gardening. You be the judge of whether it's exercise or not. Shake and Jiggle it! Wiggle or Bump it! Thump and Stomp it! Womp it!! Kick it!! Flick it!!!

We're here to support, encourage, and set challenges for ourselves. It's all about intention. If we don't make the 180 to 360+ minutes one week, there's next week to go for it.

The weeks starts every Monday in the month and ends the following Sunday at midnight. Then we start all over again the following Monday for week 2, 3, and 4. (and some months week 5)

Newcomers are always welcome!

If at first you don't succeed, you keep trying...just keep coming back to report progress or non-progress...it doesn't matter...it keeps us accountable and that's how we commit to healthy lifestyles. It is a chance to meet new friends and encourage one another along the way.

You can use the form below OR make up your own. So who's in for Week #1,2,3, or 4 sometimes 5??

    This sounds like a perfect way to start off the new year, I'm already aiming for 240 a week but I've been feeling a bit demotivated lately and so hopefully this will help me to stay inspired! Its also my first challenge.

    (aliciab307 - I hope u don't mind but I copied and pasted the form from your post ^ thank you!)

    Good luck everyone :)

    Existing injuries limit my activity and always have me starting over with more rest days and uncertainty than I'd like. But I'm in. Have to break the cycle sometime.

    Count me in, I havent been able to do much exercise during the last 3 months as I am recovering from a foot operation. I have only entered 180 minutes for the first week as this will be my first week back doing proper exercise since my op. Hopefully my body will cope. Hope to be able to increase that to 250 minutes after the first week. Really need the challenge as I am getting married in March and need to lose weight. :wink:

    I'm in...I fell off the wagon back in August and can't seem to get back on track...I feels like I landed face first :sad: I need to find that one thing to motivate me again. My 5 yr old told me the last week "I don't want a fat mami...I want a skinny one" now you know I gotta to get this done and ASAP. I'll start with 180 and increase it as much as I can.
