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

Summer is here! Are you ready to shed those pounds and clothes!! 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 doing a lot better with keeping my calories down, but I know I really need to move more. Hopefully, this will be the push I need.

    I was listening to NPR this morning, and there was a story that the number of people who report to their doctors that they get NO physical activity in their "leisure" time has increased substantially, but the number of calories consumed has stayed about the same, over the last several decades. Someone on the program was saying that if folks would simply climb stairs for 2 extra minutes per day, that would combat the average weight gain per year for Americans...

    This website and this challenge group is GREAT because it's fighting the trend in our culture (yes, I know there are folks who aren't from the USA on here, but I suspect the trend is growing in other places as well) to sit on our butts and do nothing. Thank you, IsMollyReallyHungry, for faithfully creating the group every month.

    Week 1: 360 Goal

    Monday: 110 minutes (60 min spin class + 25 min circuit training + 20 min treadmill + 5 min stretch)

    110/360 - 250 minutes until goal
