24 Hours of Exercise per Month Challenge - MAY 2019

Here's the 24 hour challenge thread for MAY. Let's do it again!! And welcome to any newcomers!

The goal is to accomplish at least 24 hours of exercise during the month.(MORE IS GREAT) Any type of activity that you would log in your exercise diary counts (both cardio and strength training) ~ walking, running, paddling, biking, swimming, gardening, weight training, dancing, HIIT, aerobics, elliptical, rowing, circuit training, stretching, etc. You get the idea.

For you BEASTS 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.

Happy Exercising!!

Last month's thread is here for examples on how to log your info:

    confession: I haven't exercised for years. Always wanted to start and it never worked. Will start walking slowly and try to walk for 30 min at least 5 days a week. Hope this will help me also lose weight.

    Goal: 10 hours a month

    5/5- 30 min walk

    Hi @LolaLaylola!
    I highly recommend an easy goal at the beginning. Is 30 mins pretty easy for you? If not, consider two 11 minute “saunters” every day. Or one 22 minute easy walk daily.

    My doctor told me to walk daily. So I did. It becomes a daily habit, not a “if I feel like it.”

    Eventually you get to the point where you just do it automatically every day.

    I began where you are a little over 3 years ago, and just this weekend hiked 9.3 miles climbing a mountain. Hardest part was the downhill.

    Take it easy in the beginning, but walk daily! You’ll be amazed at where you end up & how blood pressure, lipids, and blood glucose all improve!!

    Cheering you on!
    Maddie 💕
