July Exercise Challenge - Let's Beat the Summer Heat - 35 challengers so far!

[disneychic2]

Ted, you are already so much more organized than I was!

I'm in for another 2000 minutes. Hopefully, I will beat this crazy heat.

Awww, you did a GREAT job last month!!


So I finally did a search to find you guys! I'm in again this month for 1200. I was 20 min shy of my goal last month and plan to meet and surpass it this month, no matter what!

Thanks for hosting this month, Ted!! We're off to a great start!

I did 40 minutes of wt machines this morning.

40/1200

I did great in June, but I had a week of vacation without work or commuting stress. I will up conservatively to 900 for my goal.

Sunday I walked 3 miles and Monday I walked 50 minutes so I am 90/900 with today ahead of me.

After a warm-up and a run I'm at 55/1200. It's a start.

 

[UGAFan0829]

Jumped on the dreadmill last night for 45 minutes of interval training. 45/500

 

[minniebeth]

Walk/run intervals today. 96 minutes

238/1000

The heat/humidity even first thing this am:

Hope everyone gets off to a great start this month!

Do you guys find it easier to post every day, or once or twice a week?

And which is easier for our hosts?

I like to post each day... so as long as I'm hosting, please everyone feel free to post as often as you want.

My spreadsheet is making it really easy to update so the more the merrier.

I also will post a quick note whenever I update the first post to note that I've captured all input up to that point in the thread.

So for now... this is the noon update for 7/2

Thank everyone.

Silly question...Can we include weight/strength training in our minutes, or is just for cardio?

I count my weight/strength and personal training as excercise minutes, for sure!


I had 90 minutes yesterday between personal training (all core & strength) and elliptical and bike and stair climbing.

So, I am at 90/1200. I need to start carving time out to exercise since I am going to miss so much gym time this month due to being out of town. EEK!

I'd like to join in if it's not too late!

I'm shooting for 1000 minutes this month.

Sunday, 7/1, 40 minutes walking

40/1000

Planning a workout for tonight, but I can't count it until I actually DO it! What a bummer (wink)!

Have a great day!

Absolutely not too late. Welcome in to the challenge.

You're updated on the first post (as is all activity up through here).

Have a good night everyone... I'm turning in early since I have my first 10K race in the morning!

Happy 4th!

Ted

 

[sissy_ib]

120 minutes tonight. I did kickboxing class and my strength class.

240/1600

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Way to go Dona!!

Cam when do you leave for your trip?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Good luck tomorrow, Ted!!!

I hope you have a great race! Can't wait to hear about it.

 

[tiki23]

75 minute fast-paced walk, with hills and stairs. With my teen DD along for company.

I hope you have a great race, Ted!

 

[Chicago262]

Good luck Ted! Hopefully it won't be too hot in the morning!

I was lucky enough to go to the gym twice again today. An hour of Ripped and an hour of Werq brining me to 240/1680! Happy 4th to everyone tomorrow!

 

[glss1/2fll]

Have a good race, Ted!

We will be in DLR Veteran's weekend (DH & I celebrating 25 years!) and a did a half hearted search for a 5K but didn't see anything then.

Got 2 walks in today and my stretching class--which I so did not want to get out of bed for!

267/1900

Tomorrow I will walk to my "walk." That adds another mile plus so . Instead of walking at 7:30 now we're at 7, which doesn't work very well if DH wants to be chauffered to work. It won't work at all during the school year! Guess I'll just enjoy the exercise during the summer!

Have a great 4th!

 

[tedhowe]

Overnight updates done.

Nice job everyone... good progress to start the month. Lots of pink showing up already.

I'm off to the race... will report back later.

Yesterday I did fairly well, 30 minutes of swimming and a 20 minute walk. I'm trying to get my DH in the habit of walking with me every evening!

New total:

100/1200
