    I am going to try to log 30 minutes minimum of exercise a day. Dusted off 10 Minute Trainer today. I get easily bored and like change. I love circuit training. Let's do this!

    My goal for 2014 is to exercise at least 30 mins every day, whether it's a leisurely stroll or the treadmill. I need to get this weight off. It's starting to affect my joints and health.

    WE CAN DO THIS! :drinker:

    After I lose my last 5 lbs or so I'm going to start focusing more on lifting, to tone up. And less on cardio.

    I'm not sure how to join either aside from replying - any hints would be appreciated! mmcleod8725 - you're almost there. Great job!!!

    Exercise goal for month: core conditioning and swimming to strengthen my back so that I can be more active in general. (Gained weight due to inactivity because of a pinched nerve/herniated disc . Already feeling much more active and I love it!)

    My goal is to start running again! So far I can run 2 miles with a few short walking breaks in-between. I also want to stick with yoga -- it has been very helpful for my lower back pain and in improving general feeling of wellness :) I want to avoid sudden weight loss, because I always seem to gain the weight right back, and then some :( My focus is becoming truly healthy and active, and the rest will come! Good luck to all! Happy 2014!

    I'm a dancer, dance teacher and gymnast and I have a show on the 7th of February where I'm wearing very little. I'm pushing myself to get to my goal of fat loss for the show. I'm going on to muscle-gain when that's over. I want to be stronger but I want to *look* stronger with it, so that'll be fun.

    Good luck to everyone else! And if you have any questions about stretching or strengthening a specific area, that's pretty much my specialist subject so please don't hesitate to ask :D
