    Will you be doing this again next week? If so I would be interested in joining.:wink:
    Who's interested in joining a 5 day (Monday-Friday) exercise challenge for the coming week?

    The parameters will be really loose - whatever exercise you choose, for however long you'd like, but the goal is to fit something in daily, from Monday-Friday, and report in here what you've done.

    Let's get movin! ;):flowerforyou:

    Thursday: 20 mins of Wii Fit in the AM (Yoga, Aerobics, Balance Games. I do it more for stretching and just for the fun of it now ^.~ I also think that even 10 minutes of it in the morning is really good so I'd say if anyone has one, try it every day or every other day for a little and sneak in some extra work out time while having fun)
    30 mins - walking the dogs
    5 mins - getting through a couple of strength drills on my DVD


    I thought maybe adding the Zumba this week drained me by Thursday, but I think I may be coming down with a cold! I couldn't get in my usual strength/calisthenic dvd if I'd wanted to. Now I am in my sweats n' pj's and off to bed. Come hell or hi water I am still walking my dogs tomorrow! (especially as Saturday it might rain quite a bit)

    Thursday I did nothing but a few stretches. Had stayed up all night to catch up on some school work, so I just did some stretched and headed to wrk. Got home @ 8pm and crashed...bad day for healthy living!
    Today is Friday and I'm off.....so, got in a nice workout this morning: bike, treadmill, hand weights, situps, floor exercises, burned @ 350 calories. Now for a healthy breakfast and I'm back on track. Have a great day!

    I did three miles with the biggest loser walking DVD. The last mile was jogging. Day 5. It has been great having this challenge. It made me hold myself accountable. 5 days straight, tomorrow is a day off.

    Its Monday and I did an hour of ZUMBA. My daughter does dance on Mondays and the owner/ teacher asked me if I was coming tonight. I said for what? And she said for ZUMBA to benefit Heart and Stroke Foundation. Thought about it and thought what the heck. Had a great time. Really sore as I haven't exercised in along time, but will definitely be doing this agian.
