Okay @$$ movers, here's the new thread for the February 2021 Move Your @$$ Challenge!

PLEASE READ the directions below.

We welcome all newbies and welcome back to the oldies!

"Rules of the Challenge"
1. Set your goal and post it to the thread....distance ONLY (Miles or KMs) - NO minutes, NO # of workouts, NO # of calories, NO # of steps - DISTANCE ONLY.
2. Make your ticker if you want to use one (see directions below or in the FAQ thread) or add your goal to the thread.
3. Get moving your @$$ starting on the first day of the month.
4. Post as often as you can to the thread so we can keep the sheet (see link below) up to date. You are welcome to report what you are moving each time BUT please make sure you post the TOTAL miles (or kms) moved each time you update.

Please don't post any previous month's miles here. We will continue updating the previous month's spreadsheet using the old thread for approximately the first 5 or so days of the new and current month. Please add only your current month's goals/miles to this thread. Got it? :smiley:

The purpose is to set a distance goal (KM or Miles) and track your distance for the month - please only do one or the other...if you are doing KM just report in KM - we have a formula in the spreadsheet that will convert it to miles for us.

You are challenging yourself, not competing against anyone else.....the distance can be on a treadmill, stairmaster, elliptical, bike, roller blades, walking, running, biking, hiking, swimming (if you can measure).....just set a distance goal and do the work.

Report to the thread often to keep us updated because we track our info on a spreadsheet (see link below) so you can see how you are doing compared to the group but not to openly compete with them. Whatever goes on inside your own brain is your own business. :lol:

The idea is to set your goal and reach it before the end of the month.

Welcome to all - new and old.....have a great month challenging yourself!

Link to the Google spreadsheet where you can view (but not edit). The Challenge Admins will update it for you at mostly random times.....but typically a day or so. Don't hold us too tightly to that though. :grin:

Directions for making a ticker:
Go to either www.lilyslim.com or www.tickerfactory.com and create a Fitness ticker. Then copy the "BB code" and paste it into your posts on this thread each time you do an update. (More detailed info is located in the FAQ thread on the MYAC Group page.)

Welcome and we hope you enjoy your stay and that you find this helpful in realizing your fitness goals!

Janet and Dave

    Thanks for this. January was very stressful. I took some risks going out when my cough is bad again. So February will try for just 50 miles.

    Thank you Dave and Janet. You do an amazing job keeping us all in order.

    I hope to do 80 miles again in February - a slight increase in target as the month is shorter. :D

    ... wish I could aim for the 100 again this month but with less days and the gyms still not going to be opening I think it will be too much so going for 80 miles! In my head I want at least half of them to be running miles as trying to get back into the running again.

    Thanks as always for the motivation !!!

    I wish I could do my usual amount of miles. But I am struggling so bad I can't get it together right now.

    So please put me in for 325 miles. The pressure is getting to much right now.

    I am going for 70 miles this month please
    Just the mention of lockdown brings everyone out into our country lanes from the towns. Not much room to social distance even if these people wanted to, which they don't seem to want to. It drives me mad. They act as though it is one big holiday. They climb over walls into farmers fields, they make paths of they own, not sticking to the footpaths and they leave their rubbish land about. Macdonalds and coffee cups everywhere. They care little for the countryside or the people who live there.

    So, until we are safe I am doing very little walking to avoid these people and just trying to stay safe. I get the vaccine tomorrow but will still have to follow the rules for now. So, not much walking for me at this time.

    Stay safe everyone
