February is a month dedicated to love...so why not show yourself some love and do something good for your heart??? Only 28 days this month, so we might need to drop our minutes down just a little bit. Even if it's just a 10 minute walk every day this month, the important thing is getting up, getting moving, and getting that heart pumping a little bit faster than it's used to. So join us in our monthly exercise challenge. No prizes, no tokenz, no competition...just encouragement and recognition for getting off your rear and getting it in gear!!!

For the exercise challenge, do I just choose a target in minutes and then just edit in all the minutes I've done per day?

Cos if so, I think I'll join in for next month :)

Yes ma'am!!! Only problem is that after a set amount of time regular members aren't able to edit their posts. But if you'll just post the new minutes up, I'll merge your posts together for you. ;)
