April Exercise Challenge

[Natasha]

Alright, folks, it's time for another monthly exercise challenge. Your goal can be anything you want...whether it's to work out a certain amount of time, a certain number of times, or simply to walk 3 days a week. Come join us. Everybody is welcome whether you're a die-hard exercise queen (or king, LOL) or just starting out. Only I have the permissions to edit posts after 8 hours, so if you will just post your daily workout in a new post everyday I will merge them for you. Please don't quote your earlier posts as it just makes for more work when merging. Thanks!!!

I resolve (*cough*again*cough*) to actually meet my goal this month...2000 minutes. I'm also going to add another goal of 300 crunches using the Perfect Sit-up. I've had it for a while now and still haven't put it to use.

Ugh...here we go again, and I'm off to a bad start, I had a crappy sleep and couldn't get my ass out of bed. I'm shooting for 900 minutes...I'm going to surpass it, but that's the minimum.

I'm going to start running regularly... I want to eventually train up for my first 5K, not sure how long it will take yet. The big challenge will be getting myself to wake up the extra 30-45 minutes earlier to do it in the morning. So, my goal is to run a minimum of 3 times a week. I'm hoping to switch to distance-specific goals by next month.

Week 1:
4/2 - 1 lap around reservoir (~1.55 miles)
4/4 - 1 lap around reservoir (~1.55 miles)

Ok I am going to get back into exercising after 6 months of not doing anything, so I am setting myself a very conservative target of 300mins.

Goal: 300 mins
Total so far: 0

Total: 60 minutes

1 - 0
2 - 60 minute walk.

That's what I want to do too. I find keeping track of progress here is really helpful....it's a boost when you see you've met your goal. I haven't yet, but I will dammit.
