in Motivation and Support
i know it's nowhere near as ambitious as the 360 min/wk or 3500 cal/wk challenges. but it's something. it's 4 and a half hours of something. i need a new number, besides the one on the scale, to motivate me! this one is both challenging and attainable (even with 4 kids).

so, if you're up for it.... it can be 270 minutes of cardio, strength, or a combination. anyone can join. you set your own goal. it can be more, but not less than 270 minutes. just commit to your weekly goal and post an update everyday as you tally up your minutes.

i'm starting monday (2/21-2/27). anyone want to do this with me?

    So this would basically be a challenge to work out for a least an hour a day for four days, with some sort of cardio walking or the gym machines...

    I think I'd give it an attempt. I need a motivation to work out, whether it just be walking the dog or going to the gym. I wanted to take the kids hiking today, but I got bogged down in Saturday laziness.

    Add me too - although I will tell you up front - I get 180 every Friday with a cleaning job I have. But I want to commit to 270 besides that, so don't add my Friday workouts for the challenge (in all fairness to everyone else.)

    Thanks!
