MOVE-IT CHALLENGE!!!
Are you ready to MOVE-IT??!! [/b]
Summer is right around the corner and we want to be ready to shed these coats and sweaters! 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 in again! I've been doing 325 minutes per week - sometimes I'm way over, and sometimes... uhhhhhh... don't quite make it - so I think I'm going to leave it at 325 minutes per week again this month and if I can hit it every week, I'll up the challenge in June.0

I'm in again for May. I need to think about my goal- I'm planning to start some strength training and will decide how much time I'm willing to commit to that aspect each week and then add that to my walking/running time. And, I should probably increase my walking/running time since I was able to go over goal each week because of extra time spent moving each weekend... hmmm- lots to think about! This is a great challenge- most of my other challenges are for distance or steps. This challenge helps me be more mindful of the actual time I deliberately MOVE!0

Im in have just started running and weight training again can always use some extra motivation week two may not be as good though as im in Dublin and wont be able to log without it costing me a bomb on my phone!!! Im on 250ish at the moment however i don't log my walking as my fit-bit does it for me and it gets confusing. Maybe i can add those minutes on without confusing it somehow0

I would like to join the challenge. My goal for week 1 (May 5 - May 11) is 180 minutes of cardio and I want to throw in a separate goal for strength training - 3 times a week.0

Good job last month Hkristine1!! You don't have to hit goal every time. The goal is to be and stay mindful of moving more!! Keep up the good work!0 -

I'm back in for May! I'm going to continue my winning combo of yoga/walking/dancing and do as much of Jillian Michaels Killer ABS Level 1 as I can, 3x/wk. Let's do this!
