June Exercise Challenge - 54 Challengers and 40,537 minutes completed!!!

[debbieandroo]

The challenge is on. And it's a challenge by you to you! Challenge yourself to do "x" number of minutes of exercise this month and then JUST DO IT!

Post here as frequently as you like and I will start a list in this post and keep it updated as frequently as I can throughout the month. As you post, please tell me how many minutes you have through that date and what your total challenged number is. For example "I did 60 minutes on the treadmill yesterday, and am now at 60/1200".

As you reach milestones for the month, your name and total will change color in this post.
At 10%, you'll be bright pink
When you reach 25%, you'll be orange
When you reach 50%, you'll be purple
When you reach 75%, you'll be turquoise
At 90%, you'll be red (because you are on fire!)
When you hit 100%, you'll be WISH green!

So, let's go, everyone! Post your self-challenge, and I'll make the list here, and then let's watch the list change color!

Woo-hoo!!!!

[BernardandMissBianca]

I'm in!!

1000 minutes for the month please.

 

[sissy_ib]

I'm in again. I'll sign up for 1600 minutes.

 

[leeandstacismom]

May I participate here as well? I am setting a goal of 900 minutes. That works out to 30 minutes minimum a day I should be able to manage that. Work days will be a real challenge, will need lots of

Everyone is welcome! This is only my second month participating but it really pushed me. I can be a bit competitive and I LOVED seeing my numbers go up and seeing the color of my name change.

I just followed you on Pinterest took me awhile to figure out what the deal with that was, but now it is fun.

Thanks for the welcome.

 

[tinkerbye]

I'm in again but let's up it to 1400 this month. Good luck everone!

 

[Kyyyyyy]

We're doing a step challenge at work so I'm going to do that (I'm glad you do percentages as the gauge)

12,000 steps a day * 30 days = 360,000 steps for the month, so that's my goal!

I'm glad I have a fitbit to help track all these numbers - it'd be hard to track without it!

 

[AK_Christina]

I have never done a challenge on here, but I am recovering from foot surgery and after a month of doing absolutely nothing, I am determined to shed some weight. I am going to shoot for 1000 minutes. Wish me luck!

 

[teekathepony]

I'm definitely in again! I'm going to aim for 1400 again.

 

[hops&dreams]

OK... I totally failed last month. But I just realized I really need to start training for this half marathon I'm aiming to do in Sept. So, put me down for 1000. Who knows... maybe I'll exceed it?

Ugh... I feel sluggish... can't wait to get back to working out and having energy again!

 

[keenercam]

I have two days of Special Olympics events this month where I will be on my feet for hours and hours, carrying food, serving, running back and forth for supplies. I should be able to hit 2000 minutes this month if I do all my regular workouts too. So, please put me down for 2000.

Thank you, Debbie, for hosting!

 

[mrsdrake625]

Yay! This was so helpful last month.

Okay, in May I started with 600 and had to up to 800. June will feature a lot of traveling - to Disney!! and a few other places, as well as school starting again. So I think I'm going to revert to 750 - challenge myself to keep up with the pace I have set, but realizing I may not make it.

Additionally, if anyone has any tips for staying on target while on vacation, I'd appreciate it. At WDW I'm planning on bringing some hand weights for every other day, but there's no good opportunity for cardio, unless I count the walking around in the park. I think I will.

 

[tiki23]

Thanks for hosting this month, debbieandroo!

Cam - super huge thanks for all of your work the last couple of months! You have been very inspiring.

 

[GoofyPredsFan]

Hello!! Please put me down in June for 1000 minutes. I did so well in May until the last two weeks But it worked so well pushing myself!! Now this month I'll be going thru a move at the end, but that just means I'll be doing lots of vigorous cleaning!! Good luck to all.
Thanks,
Lynda

 

[fitgirl36]

I'm going to try again, back from vacation, getting over my cold/cough and for once want to meet my goal for one of these challenges!!

I'm in for 700 minutes.

Good luck to everyone and thanks for hosting debbieandroo!

You could take a few minutes in the middle of each day and walk for 10 minutes straight. (walk from Space Mountain to Splash Mountain, walk all or part of World Showcase without stopping) If you hit the pool do a few laps or some water aerobics. What hotel are you staying at? Can you walk around the resort for a few minutes every morning or evening? Even just jumping jacks or jogging in place in your room. While walking in the parks can be great exercise you don't want to get out of the routine of setting aside time for exercise.

 

[Rose&Mike]

I am in for 1600 again. Thanks!

 

[VirataMama4]

I'd like to join and am in for 600.

 

[penguin1102]

I would like to join and do 600 for the month. I think that this will be a great challenge to jump start my exercise.
