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

January is almost here and we want to be ready to bring in 2014 with a bang and a plan to move more than we did in 2013! If you don't need to move more and just keep moving than this may still be the challenge for you....Either way 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!

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'm going to give this a try also. I'm just going to go for 180 minutes a week since I'm just starting back with exercise after a bit of a break. :)

    I'm in - need to boost my activity level. It will be tough until March - I exercise with my husband (jazzercise - he loves it, me not so much but I go because it is convenient) and because of his schedule, I will have to go by myself until March :cry:

  • I NEED AN EXERCISE CHALLENGE.

    I'm terrible about moving it- I'm great about tracking (I paper track and will sometimes use MFP to check myself)

    But I am HORRID at exercise. *sighs*
