Jumpin' June Exercise Challenge--Everyone Welcome!

[GoofyPredsFan]

Hello! I'd like to try this month too. I think I'm going to go for 1500. I'm worried I won't be as disciplined with the kids home, but I need to have something to push for, so there ya go

Thank you!!

My morning exercise today:

This portion with my wife:
5 minute warm-up walk
2.25 mile jog - 30:09
10 minute cool-down walk
Really proud of my wife - this was the longest run w/o walking in her life.

This portion by myself, after the portion with my wife:
4 mile run - 41:52
10 minute cool-down walk

Total - 97 minutes - a solid start.

Updated through post 25.

Thanks for hosting Rose! I will try for a 1000.

2700, please.

Got it!

I am going to try for 2013 minutes. I'll be at the most Magical Place on Earth from the 5th to the 11th so we'll see if I can still make my usual goal. I'll have to work-off all those extra calories from all the Mickey Bars, Dole Whips, etc.

So exciting! We were so active on our trip in May--and I still gained 3 pounds! Hopefully you will have better results! It probably did not help that they took very good care of us at Olivia's at OKW--extra desserts, mimosas for our anniversary. And all g-f! It was awesome and worth every calorie! Have a super trip!

Welcome!
I don't know if we are the "in" crowd--but we are definitely the mov"in" crowd.

Everyone defines their activity differently. For this challenge, I consider anything I do that is purposeful exercise as activity. I wear a pedometer, and when I am traveling, I will count active minutes as well--which are minutes of activity over 135 steps per minute--this is a brisk walk. So basically, whatever you feel comfortable considering as exercise. Hope that helps!

Great start! And congrats to your DW. But, just don't tell her that what she is doing is "jogging". My DH is much faster than me and if he said when he was running with me that it was jogging--let's just say it would be ugly, ugly, ugly.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!

Hi! I've been reading and lurking on the Dis Boards for months but I have never posted. I decided my first post would be to sign up once the June exercise thread was started. Please sign me up for 1500!

This will be my first challenge. I think I will start at 900 min. Thanks for the motivation!!!

Is that the way you want us to do it, Rose?

I did my 2-mile Walk Away The Pounds this morning, which is 30 minutes.

Planning to work in the garden today too, so hopefully another 30 minutes will be added later today.

Whoohooo off to a great start to June;

90 min at the gym this morning 45 weights, 45 cardio. My foot handled 25 min on the elliptical today and the rest I did on the bike. I was SO tempted to run but I'm exercising my discipline and waiting til Tuesday as I had planned....

Thanks Rose for hosting this month. Please put me down for 1500 again this month.

I just completed the 8k portion of my race today and will do the half marathon tomorrow. Hopefully with DH if his back holds up. We were real slow today trying to take it easy but at least we finished it.

Good luck! I was thinking of doing that race but my cousin is getting married today and couldn't this year. Let us know how it was!

Alright I'm in.

I tanked in May, I worked out 3 days out of 31. Not good, not good at all.

Kids have school for 3 more weeks so I can get at least 30 a day when they aren't home.
My goal is 900 minutes
