I pulled this thread from one of the other months. Thought it would make a good start for us.

It's challenge time:

Pick a target level for how often & how long you plan to workout,

and we’ll be off… I’m shooting for Level 2~Intermediate this month!

April ’07 August Exercise ChallengeLevel 1 ~ 3 days a week (14 days)Level 2 ~ 4 days a week (18 days)Level 3 ~ 5 days a week (23 days)Level 4 ~ 6 days a week (27 days)Level 5 ~ 7 days a week (31 days)Beginner ~ 20 minutes a dayModerate ~ 30 minutes a dayIntermediate ~ 45 minutes a dayAdvanced ~ 60 minutes a dayElite ~ 60+ minutes a day

I am in!!! I am gonna shoot for Level 2, 18 days in August. I may only make it to Level 1, (14) because of a couple of trips I will be on. If I can hit anywhere between 14-18, I'll be happy!

OOpps, I didn't read it all. I would be at the advanced level, 60 min. I might be closer to elite, but I'll claim advanced. Can't believe I am advanced at exercise...but 60 min is my min since i've been off this summer!

20 sessions of at least 30 minutes for me!

Well cool! I'm an Intermediate Level 3! My signature line has the specifics...but doing weights and cardio, 5x a week, 45 mins. minimum.

I did meet my July goals...but just barely!
