April 2013 MOVE IT 180-360+ minutes a Week Challenge

Are you ready to MOVE-IT??!! 2uge4p4.gif[/b]

Spring is here and we want to be ready to shed those coats!

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.

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??

    Hi all. I'd like to join too. I have some silly questions though. Do I put the list for the week here and then just come back and edit it once I workout? Is there a specific group I join? I don't post a whole lot in forums, so just not sure hwo this works.

    Thanks!
