Knockouts "600 Minute March" Challenge

Here is the official thread for the 600 Minute March, exclusively created for the New Year Knockouts! If you've already begun, then keep on truckin'. If you haven't, then get up off your tushies and get moving toward your 600 exercise minutes for the remainder of the month of March! Make a ticker, a graph, or just post your progress in this thread. We're all here for support and ideas on how to get in all our minutes. Next month, we'll change challenges and venture into a new goal. Go Knockouts!

Way to go Amy!!! I'm hoping I can get in two more long walks before Monday night and join you in completing the goal. I really assumed 600 minutes would be a sinch. lol. Guess I underestimated, but it didn't help matters that my elliptical died 2 weeks into the challenge. I'm so distraught...I LOVED that machine. Anyway, I've been toying with the idea of getting a Bodybugg...anyone have one? Seems like a really cool thing to have to put things into perspective.

600 minutes was harder to do then I thought it would be too! I was cruising right along and then my baby girl got sick! I really need to get an exercise video for home or something because I don't seem to be creative enough to exercise on my own. I'm addicted to going to the gym! For the first time in my life I have actually been enjoying exercise!

Well, I just barely made it. I was able to make it down to the gym tonight and get in a 45 minute workout. I was so unmotivated today I had to force myself to go. But there was just no way I was going to fall under the 600 minutes! Thanks for doing the challenge you guys!

How did every one else do????

Okay, Tomorrow being Aprl 1, get me started on this challange. 600 minutes a week, or what? I guess I somehow missed the Challange particulars and want to do it for April. HELP

I think we should all pick a number of workouts to complete for April, that way we're not forced to meet a certain minutes criteria. For example: Hypothetically, I could exercise really hard for 15 minutes or take it easy for 45 minutes. Those 15 minutes might be a lot more effective than the 45 minutes. By doing workouts per month, we can decide how much time each session takes. Any thoughts?

Oh, well, I didn't make it. I'm not going to give excuses, just try to do it this next month. 3rd fill in 4 hours! Restriction please!

I forced myself to hit the pavement on Sunday (2x) and Monday night so I met the goal. Yipeee! Now, I seem to have the flu so thank goodness I made goal before this nastiness set in.

The number of workouts is a good idea...switching things up a bit.

NukeChick: Good luck with the fill!! The 3rd time was a charm for me indeed. I went back last week and opted to not get the 4th fill. I've been PB'ing some off and on, so until I learn to be more cautious with my initial bite size, I think I'm good.

April Challenge

Okay all you Bandsters: Here is the April Challenge!

4 work outs a week with a minumum of 30 minutes

Count minutes if it helps you,

but try to go to 700 minutes for APRIL!

Do at least one exercise you have not done before every workout,

till you can say it is part of your regime!

GOOD LUCK and Keep us all UPDATED
