edited November 9 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.

    Thanks for doing this again! I am trying for 1,500 minutes. I was so close to that last month!

    2/1 - 53 min bike, walk
  • Hi, sounds like a fab idea.

    Just counted up January's = 815 mins so think I can push on to 1000 mins for Feb.

    15 mins brisk walk around central London at lunchtime
    55 mins running home from work (1st time ever - brrr!)

    Love a good exercise challenge - but in the past it's always been about distance so I'm really going to enjoy this one. :happy:
  • Seems doable. I'm in. 40 minutes of power90 yesterday so I'm on target to make it.
