in Challenges
Here's the 24 hour challenge thread for September! Let's do it again!! And welcome to any newcomers!

The goal is to hit at least 24 hours of exercise during the month of August. Any type of activity that you log in your exercise diary counts (both cardio and strength training).

And for you hosses and hossettes out there (you know who you are), if you want to do more, just post your personal goal that is over the baseline challenge goal. And for anyone who wants to join part of the way through, just post a comparable goal to finish out the month (for example, joining half way through, post a goal of 12 hours).

There is no group for this and no private messages needed. No fancy spreadsheets either, just report your running totals here in the thread.

August's thread is here:

    I'm in again...hopefully I'll not have problems posting, my last 2 haven't shown up in the August thread! :)

    I did about 36 hours in August, so I think I'm going to go for 40 hours this time...good luck everyone!

    Unless the power goes out, I'm likely to get in 4.5-5 hours of exercise in the next few days. Hurricane days off school today and tomorrow, taking advantage.

    9/1 - 60 min elliptical, 30 min strength training

    @DresdenSinn - we'll miss you! Welcome back to all the previous challenge folks and welcome to all the new folks!! Know everyone is going to kick butt this month!

    Ack! Just noticed the cut and paste error in the original post...sadly can't edit it now, but it should read, "The goal is to hit at least 24 hours of exercise during the month of September." But I see y'all figured out what I meant...oh well.

    I was stuck inside today due to the Hurricane, so got done what I could today. Probably won't be paddling again until the weekend. Also, starting to integrate an inverted pyramid circuit of Jumping Jacks, Windmills, Squats, Push Ups, Sit Ups, and Leg Lifts into my workout cycle M-F. We'll see how it goes.

    1 September: 45 min gazelle (3.02 miles); 8 min inverted pyramid circuit (5->1); 3 min planks (90 sec, 90 sec) = 56 minutes

    Total: 56 minutes out of 1440 minutes
    Left to Goal: 1384 minutes

    History:
    May - 15:15 (pre-challenge)
    June - 33:41
    July - 26:58
    August - 24:45

    The minute I can start exercising again, I'll be logging here. And actually I did manage about a 1 km walk today to and from the bus (0.5 km each way) when I went to get bloodwork done ... but that exhausted me so much, I took a 2-hour nap when I got home. Do I get to count the 2-hour nap? :lol:

    The last few months, I've gone way over the 24 hours ... this month, however, I'm not sure where I'll end up.

    You are amazing @Machka9 !! If you have to, take the month to rest and recover - you deserve it!! I so wish we could count the naps...I'd have doubled my numbers in August if we could. But seriously, I'd have counted that walk to/from the bus at least...that is some exercise, even if it isn't biking ;)

    Woot! Finally able to go paddling today despite morning rain. Water was murky and only saw one shark instead of my usual plethora of critters. Bonus was that I got to see a pretty nice sunset as I was packing up the car...

    Wish I could log the 3+ hours I just spent at church manning a t-shirt hand out booth...I'm exhausted, but it's all good...some calories burned, I'm sure, but it's all extra in the grand scheme of things. So, rather than paddling this afternoon, I'm being lazy at home today because frankly I'm tired. Will get back at it tomorrow. Have a blessed Sunday everyone!
