February 2014 Fitness Challeng

Ok...here we go. A new month....Time to get off our collective butts and push ourselves a little bit. This isn't about weight loss so much as it's about living/breathing/moving more...feeling better....improving the quality of our life through fitness. Not to mention pushing ourselves to do a little more than we thought we could.

As always....set a goal for yourself. Something that you know will be challenging. State what your goal is....then come back every chance you get to update your progress.

Make your goal something specific and measurable. XXX miles walking/running/cycling/ellipticing/swimming/crossfitting/weightlifting. Or XXX hours working out this month.....XXX times going to the gym this month....whatever you want.

I plan to walk 50 miles and ride my bike 75 miles.

Everybody join in. Exercise and fitness will make you feel better, help you sleep, speed up your metabolism, increase our strength and stamina, lengthen your life....and make you look better naked. Face it, we could all use that.

Butter normally starts this thread, but said someone needed to set it up for February.

I had to have a buddy hoist my feet a little, but I still did them!

Shingles, ouch. Sorry. Hope you are feeling better.

I have gotten in another 7 miles. This weekend is supposed to be warmer so hoping to get out and ride my bike. I need bike miles and definitely prefer outdoor riding as to a stationary bike. Think warm and sun shine.

Hi everyone, I'm still pre op, but I would like to be a part of this. I go to the gym now 5 days a week and I'm working on the c25k program. My goal for February is Continue to go to the gym for 4-5 days a week. For a total of 18 days! I'm 4 days in so far :/

8 days so far

This week so far:

3 days weight training and 4 miles on the elliptical.

How is everyone doing with their challenge? I am at 30 miles of walking and 32 with riding. My original goal was 50 walking and 75 riding. I have 20 miles to walk and 43 to ride. I plan on riding again today. We have had a couple days of great weather. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and then turn cold. The remainder of my riding miles will most likely be inside.

Finally got off my keister (and pushed through the dense cloud of depression) and got back into the gym.

45 min with my trainer on Monday

1 hr Zumba today
