Replies

It's September...the lazy days of summer have passed...this month, you have 3 options:
1) Move and shake it for 360 minutes a week ...so, put down that mouse and get going
2) Burn 2500 calories with a HRM
3) Measure your abdoment and lose 1/2" to 1"
Who's up for this challenge? We go from Monday to Sunday
Walk a dog, don't have a dog, borrow one....plant a garden, weed someone elses...put down those car keys, ride a bike...start a new sport...let's get going
You can modify any one you want....who's gonna hustle and find their groove in September?
I'm totally up for this challenge. I think my goal will be #1 - 360 minutes per week (minimum) with the added requirement that I do at least 20 minutes every day. There's no reason why I can't work in at least a 20 minute walk each day. Obviously I'll have to do much more on some days to hit 360 per week, though! I did about 380 minutes last week, so if I can keep the ball rolling I've got this in the bag.0 -
I'm in. I'm going to try the 360 minutes a week. I walk for 16 minutes while on my lunch break at school. There will be some days I will have to walk longer because I go to school all morning til 3 then on some days I work at 4 til 9:45pm. and that hour driving is just to get to work lol I know I can do this though.0

I just joined another group but why not join this one two. I work at the gym so there is NO REASON I cannot make the 360 minutes.
The ugly truth:
Height: 5ft 7
Current weight: 167lbs
Goal weight: 125
Chest (taken below bust line): 34
Waist (natural bend): 35.5
Abs (at belly button): 37.5
Hips: 39.5 in
Arms: 12.5 in
Thighs: 22 in
Calves: 14 in
Goal is 90-90 minutes of cardio 6 days per week
2 days of strength training
ideally, I would like to lose 10 lbs this month but as long as I see results with loss in inches I am happy.
Reward: new make-up for fall.0 -

Hi, would love to join. Haven't had much luck or motivation to keep moving so if I am accountable to others then myself that should keep me moving.
I'll have to make up for not exercising yesterday, unless you count last minute school shopping and such.
