I've set a goal for myself to do 1800 minutes of exercise in the month of June. That works out to be 60 mins of exercise every day. Or if you choose to do it differently, 120 mins every other day or 90 a day for 20 days... How ever you wish to break it down!

I'm setting my goal for everyday, because I have a habit of skipping exercise Friday through Sunday and only getting it in Monday through Thursday... I want to do more.

If anyone is interested in joining me, feel free. We can check in each day just to see where we all stand.

    Sounds good!
    My goal: 1200 minutes of exercise for the month of June.
    I want to work out for at least an hour, 5 days of the week. :)

    This is my first group, and I'm excited!

    I'd LOVE this. I'd like to set a running goal for myself instead though-run a complete 2 miles by the end of June. I'm in a 'challenge' with some friends to do a 5K in the fall. I can run a complete mile and then walk a bit and run the second mile-but I'm not quite able to do them without that walk between. So Running three to four times a week would be my goal so I can push my running up to 2 miles straight.

    Am so lazy sometimes that I can't even get to the gym. Will try to do this with you ladies to get motivated. I'm pretty active when I want to but I can't seem to get started this year. Am a nurse and have to be at work at 5:00 am. Some days I just go home at 2:00 and can't seem to move. Did so much exercise this past memorial day weekend and sort of watched what I ate and came home and gained weight. Am so frustrated!!!

    Alright...I'm in. My goal is to do 1,000 minutes of exercise for the month of June. I'm only in week 3 of dieting/exercising and so this is a comfortable goal for my first "goal group"! This will force me to get out my exercise DVD's on those days that it's raining and I talk myself out of going on the morning walks.

    I need to increase my activity, so I'm in. Not sure I want to go from 0 to 60, but I will commit to 30/day 5-6 days. Much of my down time is spent with a handicapped mother-in-law. Need to find some exercises I can do while sitting with her!

    I'm on board....I will as well attempt 1800 minutes of working out for the month of June...can't say i'll do an hour a day because 1 or 2 days i have other obligations but I will make up and do an extra 30 minutes on another day of the week.....I'm on board with you.....how do you check in daily on just the goal that you make.

    A really great tracker can be found at http://www.tickerfactory.com to manage all sorts of goals you want - I already use it to track my exercise minutes and find it easy to update because I copy the update page link to my browser bookmarks, so you might want to check it out.

    NikiColeman - perhaps look at the C25k app for iPhone - it's fantastic for getting you up and going. There is also a thread - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/89783-starting-couch-to-5k-today-who-s-in Perhaps you might also want to check out the Couch to 5K website http://www.c25k.com/ if you don't have an iPhone.

    Good luck with achieving your goals everyone.

    Kind Regards,

    Joy.

    Joy-The group I'm doing this running challenge with is doing the Couch to 5K program. Because I can run quite a bit longer than that to being with, I'm going to use the same principles to keep it going. Now that I'm able to run 1 mile, I'm just going to run a little more each time so that I can build it without killing myself :) I used to be a very great runner (as a soccer player) and so I want those days back! --hopefully in time for my sons to be running around with me!!! :) Thanks for the help with the info though-I'm very very excited to get back my old 'running' self!! :)

    Wasn't able to get a workout in yesterday, but I just did 35 minutes today!
    Not sure if I'll be able to fit another actual workout in today.

    I know I walk around campus and move around for more than 25 minutes today, but I only like counting "real" workouts.
    Until next week Tuesdays and Wednesdays are full of school and work. I leave around 10 and don't get back till 10.

    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:
