1000 Minutes Challenge - January 2012!

edited October 6 in Fitness and Exercise
We are a group of MFP's who have committed to doing 1000 minutes of exercise per month (minimum). We count minutes for all types of exercise: yoga, aerobics, walking, weight training, strength work, stretching or heavy gardening. You be the judge of whether it's exercise. We're here to support, encourage, and set challenges for ourselves. It's all about intention. If we don't make the 1000 minutes this month, there's next month to go for it. Newcomers always welcome!

Here’s how to join, plus some additional information:
• You simply post to join.
• You will keep track of your own minutes every month-see intro to see what types of activities count toward the total. If you join us mid-month, it's ok to try for a percentage of the 1000, e.g. join on the 15th, go for 50% or 500 minutes.
• Most people track on the days they workout, sometimes more.
• We try to encourage and support each other.
• Not many folks post on weekends but more post on Monday-Friday.

    Count me IN! This is what I need to keep me accountable for that 30 mins of non-cardio mat work I need to do EVERY day.
    Thanks!

    I ended up joining mid month in December but I completely forgot.
    I am determined to do it this time though.

    I've already got 116 minutes of exercise done although i am properly aching so I probably won't end up doing much tomorrow apart from walking.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!!!! Welcome to all the newbies and the familiar faces! Glad to see you on here. So have you made a new year's resolution(s)? My resolution is going to be take one day at a time and the weight will come off as long as I stay on-point and keep moving. Stressing about WL is only going to make me fall off the wagon and feel like a failure so no pressure in losing this year. This doesn't mean I won't express feelings about the fluctuations that come with WL but to remember where I started and where I'm going.

    I'm taking a DOR today. Ran 1.11 miles yesterday and running 2 miles tomorrow; training for a 5K on my treadmill through nikerunning.com. No event just want to be fit and run a steady 5K. What does everyone have planned for today?

    Good luck!

    I'm going running tomorrow, have been following the B210K programme, on week 3, so looking to enter a 10k in the spring, then, who knows?

    So my main resolution is to improve and commit to my running schedule.
