Are you ready to MOVE-IT??!! 2uge4p4.gif

Fall and Winter is a great time to re-evaluate your fitness and weight loss goals in order to end the year strong.:wink::flowerforyou: 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??

    Oooh, I love this. I stopped inputting my exercise calories so I'm really not sure what I've done

    Mon: I did pushups and about 35 mins of youtube. Not counting because I'm not sure.
    Tue: Between the walk and more youtube, maybe 1.5-2 hours of mostly light cardio? Not counting
    Wed: Gotta get moving!

    Uhh...kind of got carried away doing loads of FitnessBlender videos. I'm currently doing their 8 week fat loss program (R1) that definitely has over 225 minutes a week, so sticking to that plus extras I should definitely win at this. Huzzah!
