I'm back from a walk....35 minutes....so that takes me to 95/800.

And, for those with iPods....

I never knew this existed, but my dh is recording some podcasts (for a very popular Disney website) and it got me looking at podcasts.

If you have an iPod and iTunes.....do a search for "workout" in the podcast section (or browse "health" and then "fitness and nutrition)....

I downloaded a walking workout by Prevention magazine that was really neat (about 3 minutes of a moderate pace and then 1 minute of an intense pace) for a 17 minute workout that got my heart going. I also had downloaded a radio type show called Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy which kept me walking another mile b/c I was having fun listening to it (several times I cracked up laughing and I'm sure it was MUCH louder that I thought it was---you know, that "wearing headphones syndrome.")

Anyway, just an FYI if you've got an iPod and need some motiviation. I"m going to post this as a new thread so those not in this challenge might benefit from it too!

I am at 210/1200

I wanted to check-in. 70 minutes for today, that brings me to 130/1000. I think I'm going to love the accountability of this website!

Forgot to add that I did 49 minutes of interval training on the treadmill today. I was going to do 45 minutes, but added the other 4 so as to even out my total so far! This challenge has been such a great motivator for me!! Thanks so much for starting this thread!! My total is now 225/1300

I spent 2 hours mowing the lawn tonight with a push mower. That brings me to 227/1500.

Hi there,

Please put me in for 1000 minutes this month. So far I am at 120/1000

Thanks!

Ok, I am up to 120 of my 1000. Yeah! Off to a good start! Going for the walk right now. Still haven't gotten in to sign up for a gym, since I feel I am in better shape now than 7 months ago. I think I will get some of those results I need, such as toning and such.

Off and running!

I love working out in the morning........not because I enjoy it, but because I get it overwith for the day!! Today, I did 25 minutes of Taebo and 15 minutes of interval training on the treadmill. Total is now 265/1300

 

[Jane E.]

50 minutes of free weights this morning puts me at 195/1000. Kathy, 2 hours of mowing a lawn should count for 3! Thats one tough workout.

 

[donac]

60 minutes on the treadmill for a new total of 270/1200

 

[MickeyDee]

Another 175 the past couple of days...total is 450/1200

 

[ohiominnie]

Another walk with my iPod podcasts for another 40 minutes.

That brings me to 135/800

 

[CACruisin']

Is it too late to sign up? I completely blew it last month so I want to be more conservative this month. I would like to do 800 minutes. As of today, I am at 120/800. Thanks.

 

[CJK]

I was able to go for a 25 minute walk with hubby tonight bringing my total to 290/1300.

 

[AmberLuvsWDW]

Another 70 minutes for me. That brings me up to 200/1000! I wonder if I wil be able to keep this up when my husband gets back in town.

 

[RhondaW]

I would like to sign up for 350 minutes since I am starting late and am a little lazy.

Thanks!
Rhonda
