edited September 22 in Fitness and Exercise
I wanted to start a challenge that would help me stay motivated to exercise REGULARLY!

So, I thought that when I typically go to the gym, I generally do at least 1 hour of exercise. (by doing a class or treadmill work plus weights work)

So...then I thought there are 31 days in January, and then If I went at least 24 days of 31 that's pretty good, and I would give myself a few off days....

Sooo.... for those of you who need a boost....

The challenge is to Acquire 24 hours of exercise within the month of January. We can post everyday if you want to update what you did for that day and keep a running tally of your total exercise for the month! Hope that sounds good ! Join me if you like!

    Count me in, now does this include just workout or all forms of workout. I just spent an 1:15 minutes walking with my mom this morning and 20 minutes aerobics in front of the TV.

    Just come back here and log what you do each day! We will just keep this thread. Hope we see some great results. I'm hoping that by the end of the month I have a new exercise routine! :0)

    Whatever you want to count! It's all individual. I'm just making an individual goal to try and do any exercises. (minus daily stuff like cleaning, walking during grocery shopping etc... )

    Just whatever works for you !

    It's all personal goals.

    I'm in- as a recent memeber to MFP and finally getting up the willpower to actually diet and try to control my weight rather than eat a box of chocolates in consolation of not being my ideal weight this sounds like just the plan I need!!:wink:

    Several people have asked, so I am saying we can start from January 1st! So, if you worked out yesterday, you are already ahead! So, yay for you for being good and you didn't even know it!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
