I thought we could post our progress on a daily basis to keep us accountable and ask for a swift kick in the butt if we need it. LOL  Here's how I got my 30 minutes of exercise in yesterday.

-30 minutes of cardio using Your Shape on the Kinect
-took the kids and the dog for a long walk at the beach. (30 minutes or so)

So I got about 60 minutes of exercise yesterday.  The plan today is a bike ride with the kids.  I find that they move so slow that it's not much of a workout for me so I will do the Kinect exercises again later.  I'll check back in tomorrow. :)

 Ok - I'm in.  

I'm doing a 50K in 25days challenge on facebook, and in 6 days I didn't walk at all!  So I'm WAY behind!!  This will get me going.

Today I'm going to get my 30min working on the garden.  Have to do some heavy lifting and digging to get my tomatoes in.

I am "unnofficially" involved in this challenge, during the week, but no committments on the weekends.  Just the normal cleaning etc. should get me moving.

OK, I'm in, too.

I'm part of Erica's walking challenge so I guess most of my activity will include walking. I'd like to change it up a little this month and add some different activities in. Time to pull the bicycle out, go swimming again, try a Zumba class and do some proper uphill hiking. My personal challenge this month will be to expand my horizons a little more.

Yesterday I walked a total of 10K (5K times two) so that's ~120 minutes of activity for me.


This is a great challenge!!

Yes!  I'm in too.

I just (last Monday) moved into a new condo with a full gym, a pool, jacuzzi, the works.  I have NO excuse now not to move my ass. 

I always do better when I have to be accountable so I love this challenge.   Thanks for starting it!

No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

My daughter and I walked to the park, played for about 45 mins and walked back.  This evening I plan on dancing for a couple hours at the concert we're going to.  Bryan Adams..woot!

A friend at work was upgrading her bike and asked me if I'd like the "old" one which is great.  Today I got a new wider seat - those skinny ones should come with a note that says "insert here".  So, I'm now heading out the door for my first  bike ride on my new bike!  30 minutes here I come!  Thanks for the motivation.

 Two hours of packing and moving furniture up and down the stars (27 times). Then cut the grass for 30 mins. Normal house cleaning. And laundry...so much laundry

I got in about an hour's worth of cleaning today, which I would equate to 30 mins of more serious exercise. Not exactly what I intended but life intervenes sometimes, eh? I will do better tomorrow! :-)
