August Exercise Challenge! Please Post your Final total!

[KimRaye]

i need to be here -- what do you suggest for weight loss? 1000 minutes??

i'm in

That seems to have been a normal amount in the past. If you exercise only on the weekdays, which there are 23 of them this month, that's approx. 44 minutes each day. If you exercise every day, that's a little over 32 minutes a day. Just depends on how often and how long your exercises are.

 

[KimRaye]

May I join as well? I have not yet participated in an exercise challenge....not sure what to start with - maybe 500??

Sure you can join! 500 is fine. I figured if I exercise for 30 mins each time, I need to exercise almost 17 of 31 days this month. Whatever works for you! (You can always change your goal, too)

 

[KimRaye]

I'm interested in joining as well. I have never done this, how exactly does it work???

Thanks!

You just commit to exercise so many minutes for the month, 200, 500, 1000 or more, whatever you like. Then keep track, and post here, where we'll cheer each other on during the month. It's accountability and comraderie ya know? Join us!!

 

[KimRaye]

I'll get a list started, and I'll change the thread title, so it's not a question anymore.

Welcome AUGUST Challengers!

List done (thanks to a little copy and paste) . Please check it and make sure I've got you, and I've got you right!

I'm joining. This is my fourth challenge. I made goal in May, June and July, no reason why I can't in August too. Sign me up for 1200 minutes in August.

Is it too late to sign up? I'd love to sign up for 600 minutes!

Thanks,
Erin

Day 2!! I got 30 minutes in before DH and the girls got up this morning!! SO now I am 60/500...still a long way to go but I am so thrilled to have that out of the way already today. Now if I do anything else tonight it will be a bonus!!


Happy Tuesday everyone and thanks KimRaye for heading this up and the great welcome!!

Ok, time to regroup!

I'm going to be realistic and go for 750 this month. It is just TOO HOT here! Hopefully I'll blow that away, but......

 

[joelyfaithsmommy]

i'm going for 1000 again! COUNT ME IN!!!

 

[lillygator]

For those who have done this before....what amount do you suggest to aid in weight loss? Would the 500 be enough or should it be double?

 

[donac]

I'm going for 1000 minutes again (I just got back this minute from the Boy Scout Jamboree where I walked and walked and walked). I put in 90 minutes just yesterday and that is a conservative estimate.

I am also going to Disney in two weeks and that should help with the total.

Good luck to everyone.

Hi, everyone
I am at 100/1200 so far! I hope that I can keep it up! Good luck to everyone and don't overheat! It is so hot out!

 

[dopey4disney]

I'm in for 500!

 

[eeyore25]

Sorry i meant to do this earlier. Please put me down for 500 this month. I will try for more later!!!!

Thanks! Good Luck everyone

Thanks for getting this going and thanks to OhMom for encouraging to get back on here.

Please put me down for 500 this month. I know that doesn't sound like much, but I don't want to set myself up for a let down.

 

[keenercam]

Slow start yesterday -- 60/1000 so far!

 

[ohMom]

ok KimRaye - I'll call my 1000 and raise myself another 500

(can you tell i just got back from a Vegas trip! )

i workout 6 days a week, between 30-60 mins with longer walks on Saturdays usually 90 mins. but i haven't been consisent with those during the summer. 1000 is probably about my norm - so please bump me to 1500

do you prefer we just check in weekly for your count at the beginning of this thread?? I have 90 mins done so far

 

[kimber79]

I'm in for August!! Thanks for heading this month up Kim!! I am going to shoot for 1,800 this month!

 

[ohMom]

ok - how do I get rid of the [ING]s in my ticker??? whenever i delete something it messes it up. what's the best way to copy and paste from tickercentral.com???

 

[joelyfaithsmommy]

I'm 80/1000 after day two!
