in Fitness and Exercise
There was an April 24 hr challenge forum, I very much liked it. But I have not seen a posting for May's 24hr challenge. So I am posting it.

All you have to do is try to get up to 24 hrs worth of exercise in the month of May. And then whenever you do exercise you update on here what your total of exercise was that day.

It is a fun challenge and not everyone makes the 24hrs. This is a great motivator to keep up the exercise! Enjoy! :)

As of 5/6/13 I already have 5 hrs and 14mins. So i only have 18hrs and 46mins left. yay!

    5/1 - 38 min
    5/2 - 115 min
    5/3 - 54 min
    5/4 - 0
    5/5 - 0
    5/6 - 60 min
    5/7 - 48 min

    315 minutes = 5.25 hours
    18.75 to go

    (I don't always enter my exercises by the exactly correct time though... like, if i do elliptical on super high resistance and burn 400 calories in 35 minutes, MFP says 35 min is 304 calories, but I believe what the machine tells me, so I up my MFP minutes until is equals the calories burned. I always make sure to enter my age and weight on the machine, and I use the heart rate monitors as much as possible... I think that gives you a more accurate calorie estimate... right?)

    This could be a good challenge. Message me or add me to help keep me accountable! ;-)

    I do that kinda sometimes. just with different things but instead of more time it is usually less to match calories. lol so i would be doing what ur doing as well lol
