    Love this idea! I'm so gonna do it because I really, really need to get some kind of motivation to exercise and this seems like a nice, fun way to do so. Thank you for this wonderful idea!

    I LOVE this idea!!! I'm trying it out :P I post SO many status updates, of my 98 friends only a handful actually read any so will see how it goes :P

    I'm going to post for my calisthenics exercises each day. ie for every *like* I'll do a set of a specific exercise (I posted crunches today). Curious to see how this goes!

    I just used your facebook suggestion!

    Until March 1st my husband and I have a contest going. Whoever logs the most work out minutes in that time wins. If I win...I get a puppy....if he wins...he gets an iPad...so far the puppy is winning!

    Oh let me know how that turns out!!

    Well, I decided to take this idea and "run" with it. Literally, I posted that I would run a mile for every like... AND, extended until the end of February seeing as how I'm just starting out running. Well, I guess people read my posts more than I thought.... I am up to 91 'likes' and still going... I decided to shut it off at midnight... But have 55 days to run at least 91 miles... YIKES. Help?

    I just posted the mile per like on my Facebook page. Two likes instantly, and one friend decided to share it with everyone he knew. Uh oh! I'd better get started. Thanks for the idea!

    What a great idea! It could also be a way to raise money for charity.

    Good luck with reaching the 81 miles, you have gotten off to a great start.

    oh wow! you brave brave soul! honestly, and it's a bit bad, sometimes I exercise harder because I want to make sure I have enough calories and macro numbers so I don't have to see any "red" for the day. my motivation and energy comes from my mind so if an exercise lasts for let's say 1 more minutes or less on a workout dvd, I just convince myself to keep going, and tell myself to not stop, it will be over soon, and then it is :)

    So I tried this. I posted:

    For every 'like' this status gets by 7pm tonight, I will do 1 set of crunches (a set is 30 seconds of crunches) with my calisthenics tonight.

    I'm at 15 likes so far. What have I done!! lol

    Going to repost with different exercises on each day I work out :P
