Exercise everyday for a month starting 19th May 2025
I hate how I'm not consistent, especially with long hour shifts at work, I should still atleast have time to do 20 minutes minimum of some sort of exercise. So I have started this for my own accountability but if anyone wants to do the same then feel free to contribute.
Exercises could be as simple as stretching, to cardio, to weightlifting.
I'm also up for any workout suggestions and I love to give most things a try. I don't go gym but have some dumbbells, exercise bike, resistance band.

Tonight I did 30 minutes on my old Pilates reformer - my movements probably fall in the category of stretching. It’s a starting point. My intentions for tomorrow is to do movement before work instead of after.
Yay you on doing the video!!

I’m in! Thanks for posting. I need some accountability.

My brother is keeping me motivated to keep hitting the gym. Calls me every day to make sure I'm going. It's worked so far!

I am not consistent but lately have told myself that even if all I do is 5 minutes, it counts. In that way I don't get too hard on myself. My son has been doing resistant band training and was somewhat frustrated because he hasn't lost weight. He has, however, noticeably changed the way his body looks. He has a more fit looking body with a smaller stomach. This has encouraged me to start and not be as focused on the weight loss. I'm on day 2.

I feel that way with resistance band training! But it does certainly help you get toned which I like. Sometimes it gave people the illusion that I had dropped weight when I didn't haha. You do build muscle I suppose which would explain why the weights not dropping and/ or if the diet isn't the best which wasn't for me. Hope to change that 🤞🏽
This is Day 2 for me too. I've recently got back into bellydancing and found this youtube video that I followed along to. It's such a great workout and even though I'm not jumping or doing high intensity movements, everything burns and it made me sweat like crazy. This is just one of her videos but shes got a lot more on her channel :D
Hows everyone else's day going?

5/19 - resistance band 15 min - first day I did the complete video, not because it was hard but because I just didn't want to do it!
5/20 - Walk for 22 min felt good to be outside
5/21 - Morning yoga 20 min and goal to do RB later ; I love the yoga video "Charlie Follows"

I'm late to the party but I'd like to do this challenge to help me start a healthy habit and exercise is the thing that I just can't get motivated for. So here goes.
30 day fitness challenge (did day 1 and 2 and stopped) Day 3 ✔️
Bodi Cize with Shawn T 30 minutes (I haven't gotten past the learning the steps video yet). ✔️

Its fine if you join late as long as you keep to it. Thank you all, your posts has motivated to get up and exercise (its so easy to be in bed all day isn't it? 😴)
I've managed to do some zumba today for 35 mins
Was actually quite fun, had to modify someone of the moves as jumping around in a small room upstairs was not the move haha but still worked up a sweat! I feel like this isn't enough though so might do some other workout ✨

I'm two days late, but if it isn't a problem I'd love to jump on board! 😁 Thanks for sharing the workouts you're doing, too!
1 -
Not a problem at all! Happy for you and anyone to join :) Feel free to share your workouts too be it stretching, weights, walking, biking, tai chi, dancing. If it helps then thats all one can ask for ❤️

Day 4 is done 👍🏽 😴

Well done! You're doing great!
I'm afraid I focused too much on cleaning up today and lost track of time, and now it's too late for exercise, but I'm looking forward to trying the belly dancing exercise you shared tomorrow!

Ah don't worry, I'm worried that might happen for me considering the long hours I do at work 💀 but all one can do is try. Hope you have fun with it! You'll certainly work up a sweat when you do that belly dance workout, I certainly did and still do haha

30 day fitness challenge Day 4✔️
Bodi Cize with Shawn T 30 minutes (Tomorrow I'm going to get the nerve to do the 1st dance routine workout). ✔️
1 -
So speaking of dance I did this as my warm up and its sooooo easy for me to do, the moves are not complicated and in principle I think it helps loosen the body...atleast for me it did. So feel free to check it out. I think I might have a freestyle dance session to complete my workout today :D have fun with it

That looks fun!
I ended up doing a few hours of yardwork today, including mowing the lawn. Not exercise exercise but more activity than I usually get, so I'm counting it! 😁 Plus, mowing is on the tracker list too!
1 -
It totally counts! Good work :)

Day 6 of just dancing while drunk for a couple of hours. 🥴🥂

5/19 - resistance band 15 min - first day I did the complete video, not because it was hard but because I just didn't want to do it!
5/20 - Walk for 22 min felt good to be outside
5/21 - Morning yoga 20 min and goal to do RB later ; I love the yoga video "Charlie Follows"
5/22 - 7 minutes of Resistance Bands
5/23 - 8 minutes of Resistance Bands - I probably wouldn't have done anything the last two days without the challenge so I'm happy to have gotten off the couch!
5/24 - 45 minutes of bike riding on a beautiful day! I then took a gentle walk with my 15 year old dog, Peggy.

No "true" exercise, but I spent today working the faire, so lots of up and down and standing and running around, not to mention all the general walking... I'm going to count that! No idea how to log that, though... 😅 Tomorrow looking forward to *actually* doing the belly dancing finally!
2 -
This is a wonderful account! Especially nice to see the 7 and 8 minutes of resistance band - it's amazing what a little push will give you!

Well one can walk for such a long time, I do like 10-12K steps at work so on averages thats 400 or so extra calories burned on top of my total daily energy expenditure, its great 😃
1 -
Doing this with a stomachache is just absolutely nuts. But here were are.
1 -
Another day working the faire for load in and load out, plus a little walk around after! Active, but tomorrow for sure we'll be dancing!

That looks good, especially the "no jumping" - I'm on a second floor, and I always feel nervous about jumping exercises
1 -
I did the workout on the 2nd floor in my bedroom with very little face so its totally doable. I was sweating in no time.
For today, I've done some arm workouts with two of my 5kg dumbbells and will complete the workout with my exercise bike, will try to complete an hour :D

Actually smashed an hour on the exercise bike going on average 17.9 miles an hour with some resistance 🥳
