Re: August Exercise Challenge
Doesn't matter how often you exercise...if you'd like to join us, please do!!!
Re: August Exercise Challenge
Now you've put me on the spot - would I have to set a goal or can I say what I did each day that I did?

Re: August Exercise Challenge
I'm a "come as you are" kinda girl...so if you don't want to set a goal, that's cool. If you would like to, you could just make it something like "4 workouts a week" or something to that effect.
LOL...please don't feel put on the spot. We would love to have you join us...but if you don't want to, that's okay.Now you've put me on the spot

Re: August Exercise Challenge
Yay!!! You can add your workout everyday (or every few days or whenever you want) and I'll merge the posts together as the month goes along.You're too kind.
Today I did 10km on the bike in 17m 51seconds in some cardio and then the cooldown exercise. I could set a goal to improve that to say... 17minutes. Don't know if that's too ambitious (I was going for it). I tend to have the bike on alternating wattage and will stick to the same so that I don't bias the time etc.
Other (non cardio) workouts I can put here so I can see if I'm improving too maybe.
Re: August Exercise Challenge
Cheers Mine tend to be limited due to my lunch hour. Much like most of my colleagues at work - we go during the lunch break and do a bit most days. I don't do Fridays as I travel back to my hometown (rather than where I work) after work is done.
Looking at your first post and what you've done - I'm just amazed that folks can make that much time for the gym or just have that mental strength to say I'm doing this much today as it were. Kudos for that.
Cheers

Re: August Exercise Challenge
They brought in exercise balls at work for us so I'm lucky that I get to put in some time at work occasionally. Otherwise I go and walk about 2 miles on the treadmill before work and then I go again after work and do my 70 - 80 minute workout. And the 5 minutes marching in place that you'll see here and there...that's b/c I decided one day that I could do more than just stand still while brushing my teeth, LOL
Thanks.Cheers

You mentioning exercise balls at work reminds me of a guy who uses one to sit on instead of a chair. Bit like in the third Transformers movie. Must be back/posture related perhaps.
There's a popular machine that breaks down a lot it seems in the gymn - they're getting rid of all four for that reason. The treadclimber. Thing is, in just walking pace - it would tell you that you've burnt off more calories than by using something like the stairs or a normal treadmill which leave you more breathless. That it can do that without leaving you more breathless is the odd bit, even when you know that it claims to do that by making you work three different ways for the price of one.
Kinda like this:

Re: August Exercise Challenge
I thought I should, but I convinced myself that I shower before runway, and therefore can't shower AFTER it, so I must not run at all :24:
Ohhh lazy people brains
Run on the spot whilst watching runway

Re: August Exercise Challenge
You may have to - I thought my time was a good target for my one goal but turns out I didn't push hard enough. Do eet - even if you don't reach it, it's always good to set a goal you *might* reach!

Re: August Exercise Challenge
I am wondering if I can still join. :unsure: I know it's mid month already....... however, I am needing some sense of accountability to push myself to do my exercises. This eating out at Summer Fairs every week is making me feel heavy and am not liking it. I am still within my ideal body weight but i gotta curtail it now b4 i gain more than i can handle
