September Exercise Challenge - Submit a Name! (Everybody welcome!!)

[mmdisneylover]

The challenge is on. And it's a challenge by you to you! Challenge yourself to do "x" number of minutes of exercise this month and then Get Moving!

Post as frequently as you like and I will update the list throughout the month. Please tell me how many minutes you have completed along with your goal for the challenge. For example "I did 60 minutes on the treadmill yesterday, and am now at 60/1200".

As you reach milestones for the month, your name and total will change color in this post.
At 10%, you'll be bright pink
When you reach 25%, you'll be orange
When you reach 50%, you'll be purple
When you reach 75%, you'll be turquoise
At 90%, you'll be red (because you are on fire!)
When you hit 100%, you'll be WISH green!

So here we go! Post your self-challenge and I will add you to the list!

[bryana]

I really slacked off last week. So much preparation to get my boyfriend ready to leave for his first week of training in Harrisburg. Time got away from me. I am happy that I did a decent amount of walking on Friday night when we went out in the city and then again on Saturday night when we went to our town's annual "bike night". 15,000 motorcycles taking up about a mile stretch of road!

excited to get back into the real swing of things after work today.

 

[disneymom1980]

100 minutes so far today. 45 minutes of Yoga and 55 minutes on the treadmill with a nasty shin splint flare up

655/1200

 

[bryana]

24 minutes of awful (in a good way, lol) with Jillian michaels!

54/1000

 

[hmack]

Had a medical thing pop up so I took a few days off.

today - 23 minutes strength & stretch took it easy to ease back into the swing of things.


Tally:
last post 232 + today's 23 minutes =

255/1000 = 745 more to go.

[araes2102]

Hi! Can I join? Been gone from the boards for a few months now but I am getting back in the saddle!

Since I am starting late, I think a goal of 666 is a good idea.

So far I have done: 60 min Zumba class, 40 mins walling the dog, 50 mins swimming, and another 50 min Zumba class.

200/666

Thanks!!

 

[vikdeco]

I would like to join again! I can never seem to remember at the beginning of the month! It seems to motivate me, even if I never make my goal lol.

Sign me up for 750.

So far...
9/8 - 45 min run/walk
9/9 - 45 min bike
9/10 - 30 min run

New total - 120/750

 

[Desiree]

9/6 - 25 min weights; 8 min walk (started raining..)

[mrsdrake625]

Hey everyone, updated again today. Sorry I had to take a few days off - please forgive me!

Welcome to the several newcomers - So glad you weren't shy at joining late! Everyone is always welcome, anytime. If you've never done this before, just an FYI, if there is a discrepancy between my numbers and yours, generally the pattern is the host goes with the higher number. Please feel free to correct me if I miss something, I'm happy to change it.

No exercise for me since Saturday's long run (10 miles, 0 creepers). Down with hubby's discarded cold. I don't usually mind hand me downs but... at least he's done with it! Hoping to get some workout time in today.

24 minutes of awful (in a good way, lol) with Jillian michaels!

54/1000

I had John Mellencamp running through my head after reading this... haha. And I know what you mean! Jillian kicks your butt.

Welcome back! Don't worry if you don't make your goal, the result of doing the challenge is usually being encouraged that you're up off the couch and doing something positive. That's really the point. But more power to you if you do - that's what makes it fun. I don't think I made my goal until last month but it's still rewarding to see how much work you've done at the end.

Just added another 3days of walking to my totals

8/9 60minutes woodland walk
9/9 30 minutes brisk walk
10/9 30 minutes brisk walk

total 220/750

MMM a "woodland walk" sounds perfect. Also very appropriate with your screen name! Was it a 100 acre wood?

 

[drummerwife]

Hi mrsdrake625. I think there has been an error in my minutes. You have me down for 1050 minutes and, while I appreciate the extra boost... I did not earn them...yet.

My correct total should 1019/2500. This total includes the 49 minutes from today.

Thanks!

 

[mrsdrake625]

drummerwife, thanks for catching that. I have revised it on my spreadsheet and will change it on the first post as well for your reference... love that you said "yet!"

 

[MRS AR]

45 min run this morning

455/1300
Thanks

Never even thought of that when I put woodland walk in there It was at Belvoir Park, a local forest park but now I'm curious I must do a little research and find out how many acres it covers! Wouldn't it be funny if it actually was 100

201/900

Adding 22 minutes upper body, 20 running, and 12 walking. I better pick up my pace after taking a couple days off! Thanks!
