Are you ready to MOVE-IT??!! 
Fall is here and we want to be ready to shed those pounds! This is the perfect time to re-commit or jump start your routine!
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!
MOVE-IT!!!
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??

I am in! Do you type in the daily chart like some have or how do I add it yep I'm a novice to adding stuff except for weightLOL.0

Count me in, guys! This is definitely doable!0
-
I need to get more exercise each day/week I think this challenge will help. I'm in with a modest goal of 1800
-
Count me in. I lost 50 lbs from Aug2012 through Feb 2013 and haven't been able to get back to the "losing" again... not gaining, but I've not lost any weight at all in over 6 mos. I started running in March and have been getting slowly more into it. No half marathons, but I've done five 5Ks and two 10Ks this year. I need someone to help give me a kick in the butt lol
daily run/jog before work is 45 min or 3 mi.. depends on the lacking or slacking thereof, the day before lol.

Welcome! Congrats on losing 50 pounds! Maintaining your weight loss is awesome too. That means you are doing something right for sure. Keep up the good work!! I hope the challenge helps you to get your MOJO back! It has and can happen to us all.Count me in.

Here is last months link for an idea how it works. Bump on the link so you can follow for the next couple of days or review the month. As you can see many drop off near month end.I am in! Do you type in the daily chart like some have or how do I add it yep I'm a novice to adding stuff except for weightLOL.
Welcome to the challenge and have a good weekend!

I'm willing to give this a try. It will be challenging as October through to the end of November are the times I need to buckle down and study hard for my university final exams, but they always say that exercise helps you study. So I guess I'm just going to have to see if it works
I'll stick with 180 mins for now, with the view to increase if I find I'm hitting 180 frequently.
