Hi I figured everyone would push a little harder if we had mini excercise goals every week

This week try to fit in 10 situps a day(or as many as you can handle)

30 minutes of cardio a day.... be that walking, running, playing with kids etc

Let me know of more ideas and of things that are too challenging or not enough :heart:

    I always walk 2 miles a day, however with the heat it is getting a bit hard on me. I found www.exercise.com and was doing bits here and there. Now going to try to do at least one routine a day. Continue to do my strength training using my own body weight until I can get some other things.

    I restarted INSANITY today so I will be doing all of this but I will add on the 10 situps daily. This is going to be fun. I signed you on as a friend.

    I just re-started the c25k training. I figured that was a good place to start my running from again. On my off days I am going to do Jillian Michaels ripped in 30. I have really slacked off in the exercise portion and need to get refocused. I will add the push-ups to my daily routine. I can get the 10 done.

    I think it is better to set small goals. that get you motivated and moving. Sometimes setting a large goal can be overwhelming. I think this is a great start

    This is a great idea. Thanks for posting. This will coincide perfectly with a challenge my co-workers are starting next week. We are all getting pedometers which track our steps and mileage walked per day. We are all putting $5.00 into a pot and the first person to reach 150 miles will win the money. If I do 30 mins of cardio each day and add sit-ups and push-ups, I should reach a good mileage for the day and start building muscle tone, right?

    I got my mile in. But dumb me I decided to do spring cleaning of sorts over memorial day weekend. Didn't get it done. Now the house is tore up big time and stuff everywhere. Really need to get this done so I can get back to my workouts and routine. But trying to at least get a mile in a day. I know some don't figure house cleaning in but I sure am until I get this done. This isn't normal everyday cleaning here. Moving furniture, heavy boxes and the like. Only counting a fraction of the time I really do but I am counting some of it anyways. Let the remarks fly about how I shouldn't don't care. If I am hurting anyone its me.

    If I have to do quite a few errands in a day i count the walking, you still got excercise :)
