    I would like to join this group! I am going to try...no not try...I am GOING to do 30 mins of cardio 5 days a week plus weights for about 20-30 mins 4 days a week. That is just at the gym, usually I will do a yoga/pilates session at home for about 30 mins, and normally when I am watching tv I feel lazy so I pump my little 5lb weights for a while and do planks during the commercials. But that is just extra stuff, I only count what I do at the gym. So....yesterday I did 30 mins of cardio but no weights (I go to gym during lunch break and needed to go to grocery store also).

    Great attitude!
    Sounds like you have a good routine worked out for yourself.
    I love the idea of doing planks during commercials! I might have to start doing that. :)

    i worked out a bit today, and rode my bike. it was awesome.

    hope i can do the same tomorrow. i have been feeling really down lately cause i can't find a job in my field. so, depending on the news i get from my last interview, i am probably gonna feel like eating ice cream and sleeping.

    I know that we are already a couple of days into this but I thought that I should join because I could do with the montivation. I started at a gym on Tuesday (the inveitable good intentions at the beginning of the month) and I'm hoping to have my first personal training session tomorrow evening.

    I walk about 1 hour every day already but I plan to head to the gym 3 times a week from this point onwards for 1 hour sessions each time, and then try to fit in an extra one at the weekend. Ideally my aim is to lose 5 lbs before July 10th when I head home to the beach, and just generally get myself into a good routine.

    I've got a new job starting in 10 days so I'm hoping that you guys can nag me if I start making the 'I'm too tired' excuse. Also, I get my £70 joining fee back if I manage to go 20 times in 8 weeks and there is no point throwing away good money.

    I would like to join this.

    My goal is 600 min (20min/day). I know this is kinda low, but I'm going for baby steps. I want to do Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred everyday. And if I"m really ambitious, I'll walk too and it will be a bonus.

    45/600

    I joined 2 weeks ago, & I'd love to be a part of this group! My goal - 120 minutes of swimming each week, 120 minutes of high intensity cardio & weight/resistance training/week, 60 minutes of yoga/week in addition to at least 20 minutes of additional "moving" (dancing with kids after dinner, walking or riding bike with kids, playing with kids) at least 3 days/week. THis makes a total of 1200 minutes of serious exercise for the month & 240 minutes of "moving"/fun exercise with the kids. Stuck with this goal so far this month!

    This morning I got 31 minutes in on the elliptical! Tonight I'm taking an exercise class (Turbo Kick) and it usually lasts just over an hour. So I'll be set for today! :happy:

    Didn't get anything in yesterday at the gym just my random little things at home. Did 30 mins on the treadmill today at the gym and 15 mins of weights. My HRM said I burned 448 for 45 mins. I always subtract about 100 from that as actual exercise extra cals because just sitting at my desk I burn 100 cals in an hour just living. :tongue:

    so I am gonna go for a bike ride soon...I didn't work out this morning cause as I thought, I'd be depressed. I didn't get another job. I followed up and the guy asked me not to call because it was frustrating.

    I have another interview tomorrow for a supervisor position...wish me luck everyone.

    Good luck with the job hunting! Ever since I joined on Tuesday, I've gone to the gym. This group is really good for me! My goal is just to get to the gym during the week and do the bike or run outside during the weekend. Had to go home after work today and take a nap before getting to the gym, but I did it!!! Almost didn't go but when I tracked my calories, it showed I was over so went to the gym. Signed up for a swim class for the next 3 weekends so I know I'll get the swimming in. I want to sign up for a triathlon before the end of the summer so I need to improve my swimmming. Hopefully I'll get better and actually sign up for one!!!

    Hello! I would love to join this group. I'd like to set a goal for 1600 minutes for the month of June. About an hour a day.

    loathesome - I am also job hunting and have been since the beginning of May. Just like you I am very depressed!! But, there is a plus side to it, more time to exercise. I make the free time I have very useful... if I'm not working I need to jump on this chance where I do have lots of free time and Im not too tired from work.


    Now to try and make a ticker...

    Sweet count me in...I'm trying to focus more on the process than the results, ie trying to give more importance to doing well than to 'losing weight'...

    My goal will be 2250 minutes of exercise, or 75 minutes a day.

    Thanks for the ticker link, whoever posted it! I'm making myself an exercise ticker right now :)

    Well I couldn't go to the gym on Wednesday as planned but I have a personal trainer session set up for tomorrow morning and plan to swing by tonight for a swim so we shall see how it goes.

    I've created a ticker so hopefully this will start motivating me.

    I got an hour of Turbo-Kick in yesterday, and another 35 minutes of C25K this morning! :)

    Good luck to everyone looking for jobs - I know it's touch out there right now. Exercise is a great stress reliever, though!

    I can't wait for my summer classes to be over so I can start swimming. Does anyone have a HRM that is reliably water-proof?
