March 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!!!

My goals when I'm working out is to work out to the point where my muscles feel only a little amount of pain, a healthy pain. But with me, it's hard to predict how much exercise is enough, as my stamina improves after working out for even just a few days. So I play it by year instead of making specific goals about how much I should work out.

I'm shooting for 1200, fingers crossed.

1 - 30 mins walking
2 - 30 mins walking
3- 30 mins walking and about 10 trips up and down those GD stairs at camp

Does anyone count unintentional exercise? For example: I'm on the 3rd floor of camp and there's no elevator, I have to take the stairs. I go up and down them 6 - 8 times a day, and I do try to run them or take 2 at a time to make it a bit of a challenge, that count? LOL

4 - 30 mins walking
5-30 mins walking
6-jet lag day
7-jet lag day
8-30 min walking
9-30 mins power yoga & 30 mins eliptical
10 - 45 min walk with the dog
11 - nothing
12 - 3 hour walk around the city
13 - 1 hour walk
14 - nothing (got shit faced, actually)
15 - nothing
16 - 30 min walk with dog
17 - 30 min walk with dog
18 - nothing
19 - nothing (fly day)
20 - nothing
21-nothing
22 - nothing
23 - 20 mins of leg and ab
24 - 20 mins of leg and ab
25 - nothing
26 - 30 min on treadmill
27 - 30 mins on treadmill

Dammit, I'd have to work out 9 hours between now and Saturday to achieve my goal.

28- nothing
29- 30 mins on treadmill
30- 30 mins on treadmill
31-30 mins treadmill

Shit 745 minutes total for the month....less than 12.5 hours in total...averages 24 minutes a day, gross. I think I read somewhere that a woman over 40 has to exercise a minumum of an hour/day to maintain her current weight. I'm fucked.

Ooh can we do this again for April?

I told myself that April Fools Day was going to be the day I "quit fooling myself" and started exercising regularly again
