HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016 too everyone!
Last year's people were an inspiration too me and gave me motivation thru the good and the bad times....I pray you all meet me here. I also pray that our 2016 is a better year as some of us had a difficult one here and there in 2015....
You may walk, run, job, Bike, count steps...WHATEVER EXERCISE you desire as long as you log your progress here and there. Log daily, weekly or whenever you can....
COME ON....WORK OUT......JUST DO IT!!!!!
My personal goal will be 100 miles walking
Hope too get in some exercise bike as well but it is giving me some problems. It will have too be repaired at some point. ALSO hope too get some regular bike riding in when warm weather returns in the Spring....

My goal is 30 minutes of daily exercise, in whatever form that may be. So that means if it's bed time and I have not moved, I need to get dressed and go for a short walk! Please ADD ME if you are reading this, I love having lots of active MFP friends supporting each other!!! We can do this! 0

Yes. Keeping it moving is the way to go. I kicked off the year with a walk and a random dance off with my boyfriend. I'm in. Friend me!0

@Machka9 - I bow to your enthusiasm!!!!
Very little for me so far, I usually scrap January 1st as it tends to be a lazy day. The weather is rubbish at the moment which is putting me off but I'll see what I can do!!
Targets to be determined. Probably aiming for at least 100 miles.0 -
Keep in mind that January 1 occurs a day earlier over here. January 2 is just about finished.
Saturday 2 January -- 52.06 km with 613 metres of climbing. Plus wind. Plus ... surprisingly chilly. My feet were quite cold when I got in.
And then my husband and I walked down to the shop so I could get icing sugar and chocolate chips for the whipped shortbread cookies I just finished making. ... that was a grand total of 0.6 km. 0 -
I'm in ,will go for 150 miles. Mostly indoor with the bike on a trainer0

Sunday 3 January -- 32.8 km!! And that brings 8 days in a row of cycling to an end.
I was kind of hoping to do a flat route, and the first 20 km wasn't too bad, but then it got hilly. Oh well, I'm starting to get used to that.
Plus a 1 km walk.

it's definitely a good start!!! best way to exercise in my book is things that are fun, and don't get boring - I was amazed by a guy clocking up over an hour on the elliptical the other day - no way could I do that, but dancing for a couple of hours? No problem.0 -
Hey, Happy January 2016, guys!! Good to see our old friends here and welcome to all the new ones.
My fitbit bit the dust a couple weeks ago so no more counting steps for me. Grrr, because I really enjoyed that little bugger. Ok, I'm over it. HA!
All new goal for me since the step-counting is now out. Intentionally walking 2 miles a day (as an exercise, not strolling) is my new daily goal. And so far so good!
Keep it up, Movers!0 -
I had too improvise a few months when my pedometer bit the dust! I was lucky though as I knew my routes in miles. My new pedometer I dont like. I am not sure it is accurate on calories and sometimes it gives me the miles I know and sometimes it's a bit off...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....I will have too go by that though when we travel as I will not know THOSE routes....
January 2nd....2.5 Walking Miles...
January 3rd.....1.0 Walking Miles....(it was just too darned cold and windy!)
January 4th......1.5 Walking Miles....(same as above! grrrrrrrrrr)
TOTAL as of January 4th.....6.5 Walking Miles....0 -
I want to join. My name is Barry. I want to work out 6 days a week, mainly biking, running and last weights. I don't really like weights but do it on and off.
