Hey, everyone!
So, this is kind of a selfish challenge I want to do before an event I have to attend on January 20 and was wondering if I could get some buddies to do it along with me.
It's going to start tomorrow - Jan. 5 and will end on Jan. 25.
The goal is work out for a total of 500 minutes between Jan. 5 and Jan 25. This can be done by either splitting it up over the course of 20 days and do a little each day, or do larger chunks of time 3 or 4 days a week. There's no prize for completing the challenge other than the fact that you'll probably end up logging over 500 minutes of working out in the month of January.
That's it. That's the challenge. 500 minutes of working out.
I am going to write a blog post about the details of this challenge and use it to keep track of my work out minutes. For those who want to participate in this challenge, reply to this post and I will friend you and write your name down in my blog. I'll make sure you keep up with you guys about how you're doing. You can either log your minutes on your own blog or post on mine, whatever works for you.
Ready, set and go!

Hi! Sure, I'm game - I have been working out 45 minutes daily so this will encourage me to keep it up. Keep in mind that Jan 5-20 is only 16 days (if you include the 20th) - this means we must workout for 31.25 minutes or more daily to reach the 500 minute goal. Let's do it!

Wow, major math fail. Okay, I've changed the date to Jan. 25 which works well because my birthday is on the 26th! I'm linking you to my blog post - http://bit.ly/i3Tabi

Sure, I need a challenge. I'm new to this site, but certainly NOT new to dieting! Just so I'm clear- are you saying 500 minutes of aerobic exercise? That would be 25 minutes per day minimum?0

500 minutes of working out, total. It doesn't have to be just cardio. It can be strength training, or a class. Just get your body moving for 25 min/day. And, on the days you can't hit your 25 min mark, increase your exercise another day. If you work out too much one day, take the next day off etc. Doesn't matter how you do it.
Welcome aboard! I'll add your name to the list.0 -

I am SO in. When I exercise at the gym it's usually a minimum 90 minutes and this will insure that I am getting to the gym and / or zumba regularly to get this in!0

Good morning all! A quick post prior to the start of my morning meeting. Today I completed the Fire 45 EZ dvd from the Turbo Fire program. This is another really good dvd but I struggled with some of the moves so I had to improvise but nonetheless I ROCKED THIS OUT and BURNED 536 calories in 45 minutes
Total minutes completed: 100 minutes
Minutes remaining: 400 minutes0
