May Exercise Challenge-We're in Full Bloom!

[VernRDH]

Howdy, fellow exercise freaks and fanatics! We had such an awesome month in April (yes I know it is not quite over, but we all have done so well!) let's keep the momentum going.:cool1:

As always, here is how it goes: Post up how much exercise you are committed to doing this month (and year too if you are so inclined) in whichever increment you like-ie minutes, miles, laps etc. Then post up your progress.When you post up your numbers, please do so in this format: 100/1200 (minutes done/goal). It is really helpful if I don't have to do any math. :teacher: The milestones are as follows:

10% blue
25% green
50% purple
75% orange
90% red
100% silver
Over 100% gold

Remember this is FUN and not meant to stress you out!!! I am sticking with my goal of 1200 minutes for the month. I am hoping to get a lot of running done while on vacation, but I may fall short.

If you participated last month, make sure to post your final results there. I am keeping track (kind of) of the yearly minutes for those doing that. And I sometimes have to refer back to it so it helps if I have your monthly totals.

Keep up the great work everyone!!!:cheer2:

Good luck all.

I'm going to try for 1000 minutes again, even though I fell a little short for the month of April. I should be able to do 1000 in May with no problem.

[delilah]

My goal for May will be 1350 minutes. Thank you.

[Amy&Dan]

Thanks so much for keeping track again! I am going to try for 1000 minutes again this month. I made it in April, hopefully I can in May too!

Thanks again!

0/1000

[HockeyKat]

Can I join? I did a sparkpeople challenge in April and made 1500 min, but have a May WDW trip so I would like my challenge to be 1200 min.

[mikamah]

I too was a little short last month, had a vacation, and an otherwise hectic month, but this month I'm going to start off on the right foot.

I'm going to go for 1100 this month, and continue for the year, so far I have done 2940/10000.

thanks

[disneyluv]

I'd love to join (if possible). I'll aim for 1500.

Thanks

[BeckWhy]

Put me down for 3000 this month!

[NCRedding]

I'm definitely the underachiever of this group, but I need to start smaller. I did my own April challenge since I'd signed up for the exercise challenge several months and never finished. Anyway, I met my April challenge, so I'll try this one.

I'm going for 550 minutes. I did 31 on the treadmill this morning.

31/550

Thanks for continuing to run these challenges!

[JudyS]

I'm going to try for 65 minutes a day this month, so that's 2015 minutes for the month.

As of April 30th, I am at 6105/12000 for year.

Thanks very much for doing this again, Vern! :thumbsup2


:wish35

[mom2cookies]

I had 1300 for April but I think i will just go for 1200 this month and if i meet that amount then I will increase it. So put me down for 1200

[luckywife]

Got in 70 minutes at the gym this morning.....70/1000 :)

[tiberius]

Put me down for 1100 minute again, please.

I'm back with a vengence. I'm extremely motivated....guess it has something to do with our DCL cruise next month :) I haven't met goal in a while so this month I think is going to be MY month :banana:

Congrats on the 5K. That sounds like a pretty fast rate to me, just a walker. Thanks for running this challenge. It really helps keep me motivated when real life gets crazy.

[lynnielou]

HI

65 minutes for me tonight

20 minutes lowe rbody strength training and some ab work

Keep on moving and eating less!

[tmfranlk]

Lots of walking today plus mowing the lawn for 140 min...215/1200....5070/18000. Hopefully I can keep up this pace after I start working on Mon. Since I'll be nannying full-time, I'm working on finding ways to still fit in my exercise.

[tiberius]

I ran before work this morning.

248/1100
4862/15000

[disneyluv]

[delilah]

[JOANNEL]

60 min cardio and 45 pilates 465/1200.

[timzagain]

47 minute walk + 15 minutes upper body exercises = 62 minutes today, and that's just this morning.

This exercise thing is becoming addictive - the more active I am, the more I actually WANT to exercise. I find myself looking for opportunities to squeeze a few minutes of exercise during the day. The scale isn't showing any huge difference but I FEEL a whole lot fitter!

I'll probably do some more walking this evening, while I am waiting for youngest DD to finish her swim workout!

Have a good day, everyone!

[3DisneyKids]

475/1400

[BeckWhy]

Add another 288 from Monday. Puts me at 1008/3000.

[mom2cookies]

360/1200

Diva of Dragons, Don't feel pressured to set a high goal. Alot of us started at 500 minutes. Starting out with a lower goal and then reaching it is such a boost!

[Simba's Mom]

I know I'm kind of late here, but I just got back from WDW. Would it be possible to put me down for 750 minutes? I really need to work off that No Way, Jose sundae-and that Strawberry Swirl-and that Pistachio Gelato-and that Pina Colava-and......

[Tent Camping Mom]

It's been a week and I'm movin' right along :banana:
As of today:

360/1200 -------- 4875/15500

It's a start, but I need to pick it up a little if I plan to make goal.

A few reminders:

Please post your cumulative total, not just what you did for the day. It is much easier for me if you do your own math instead of me having to do it.

Also, I will be away on a cruise from tomorrow (5/9) thru Sat 5/17. I will try to update one more time tonight or early tomorrow, but will not get to it again until at least the 18th.

Keep on moving everyone!!!

I decided to start the C25K podcasts yesterday so added 30. I skipped the bike this morning as I was going to mow, etc this afternoon, but since it decided to start pouring rain 20 min ago I guess that's out. I'll have to get something in after work still. I swear the weatherlady said rain at 9pm tonight. Where'd this come from?!?! ;) 350/1200...5205/18000

[VernRDH]

Updated!!!

I'm back from my cruise-had a great time. Now its back to reality. My FIL and I ran a few times on board-quite an interesting feeling when the ship is pitching and rolling and the winds are really strong!!! We also did walk a mile every day to earn points. We did a walking tour of Old San Juan in the 90 degree heat that covered a few miles.

Back to my regular routine tomorrow-only 2 weeks until my 5k race.

Everyone is doing great-and we are glad to have anyone new no matter when they join in!!!

I'm cat and house sitting for friends who have a pool this past 2 weeks and I'm having a great time working out in their pool! :sunny: It's too small to be able to swim laps, but it amazes me what a workout I can still get. Besides, I'm having fun doing it, even though their cat hates it when I am in the pool! :scared1: I think she's afraid I'll make her swim, too, but I won't! Really I won't! :teeth:

[Tent Camping Mom]

Another week and I'm moving right along! In addition to my bike, I've started the "Couch to 5K" program :woohoo:
And finally, I'm a tad bit ahead of goal. Now if I can just keep it up until the end of the month, this would be the first time in a few months that I've made goal. I'm motivated!

[chirurgeon]

I have been terrible about reporting my exercise minutes. Another 270 minutes since last Wednesday. I did discover a wonderful class at my gym, it is called Body Pump. It used barbells. It is such a good work out. I just wish the times they offered it were better. Oh well, that brings me up to 630/900for the month and 4,615/12000 for the year.

Updated!

I have caught the plague from my DH- I am sick as a dog, so not much exercse for me aside from walking our dog. I really need to get running, as my 5k is next week! I know I can do it, I really wanted to better my time. Here's hoping I can kick this sickness and get back to exercise!

Keep up the good work everyone!

300 minutes in the garden this weekend. The brings me to 1090/900 for the month and 5,075/12000 for the year. That is the last of my big garden work for the season, so I will have to depend on the gym until the fall.

[timzagain]

903/ 1215

Doesn't include everything. I keep track of my walking minutes with my pedometer but I don't always remember to keep track of other exercise (weights, kayaking etc). I'm guessing that I might actually be closer to 1000 minutes to date.

I passed my goal today, of course I lowered it this month than my usual but with getting ready to move and all the end of school stuff something got to give.

[Tent Camping Mom]

This week I passed my goal too, thanks to our active camping trip to Stone Mountain Park. I was able to do some hiking around the mountain and down the mountain. I haven't braved up the mountain yet but DH and DS did it twice, I'm too chicken right now. :eek:

Total as of today:

1335/1200 ------ 5850/15500

[lynnielou]

HI

Sorry I have not been posting but RL had been taking over for the past 10 days or so. Had to help with the family garage sale this past weekend.

90 minutes of exercise time for me today, 45 minutes of which was on the TM for 3.3 miles.

I may not meet the goal for this month, but that is okay. I am determined to get back to my exercise plan and tend to be much more active in the summer anyways.

May 1150/1500

Keep on moving!

[NCRedding]

I walked on the treadmill and lifted weights today.

Well, I have been absent from this forum but not away from exercise! I recently got back from an extended WDW trip where I did lots of walking (tracked with a pedometer) and lots of swimming (tracked with a Heart Rate monitor -- the Polar ones work in water!)

I think I will make this month's goal. I'm at 1685/2015 for the month and 8890/12000 for the year.

Thank you!

I'm at 1870/1600 for May! :banana:

This will be my final check in for the month because we leave on vacation in the AM and I will be without computer access for a little over a week.

Vern, if you're doing the challenge for June and if you remember, please sign me up for 1600 min again. If not, I'll do it myself when I get back and check in here again. I'll be keeping track of my minutes on paper while we are away so hopefully I'll have a big number to post when we get home. We are planning a pretty active vacation. :teeth:

[3DisneyKids]

I'll finish up the month with an even 1800/1400....and I feel great!

[lynnielou]

HI

Only 30 minutes for exercise time for me tonight.

I will not make my May goal but that is okay this month. I will go for another 1500 minutes (or more) for June!

May 1270/1500

Hi

90 minutes for me today.

May: 1360/1500

A little short due to the one week or so of getting ready for the garage sale.

Let's bring on June ~~ what do ya say?

[Tent Camping Mom]

150 since Thursday.
Totals:

1485/1200 ------ 6000/15500

[HockeyKat]

I was 1065/1200, 5830 for the year. WDW threw me off quite a bit.

I am definitely in for June...

[mikamah]

I finished the month with 945/1100.......3880/10000.

Thanks so much vern for keeping track of all this. It really is a great motivator.

[ohMom]

well i didn't do as good as i hoped, but i did manage 400 mins in the two weeks, thanks for the motivation!

[JudyS]

Well, I made it! 2150/2150 for May, and 8255/12000 for the year. I've been doing this exercise challenge for seven months now, and it has really helped. Each month I have raised the amount of exercise I do each day, and I have always at least made my minimum. However, I'm thinking that for June, an hour a day might be enough -- if I pledge too much, it makes exercise seem like more of a chore. So, I think I'll just plan on 1800 minutes for June.

Thanks, Vern! :)

:wish35

[VernRDH]

Updated!!!

With vacation and being sick, I did not make it for this month. But on to another month and challenge.

I did get my last bit of exercise in yesterday-I ran my 5k race in 34:20 (by my watch) official time 35:29. I keep shaving about a minute off each race I run, so I am hoping that with more training and weight loss, I can run a sub-30 minute next year.
