Knockouts April Workout Minutes? Up it to 630 minutes

[Chrisann 0]

Should we up the minutes by 30 to 630 minutes, or is that too drastic?

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 and it's more flexible. Any thoughts.

I don't mind doing 630. It was a very busy month for me so I did find it hard to get to 600 this month, though I did just make it.

You could do "sweating" minutes and non-sweating minutes...so when you are sweating it's 1:1 (one real minute equals an exercise minute) if your not sweating it's 2:1 (2 real minutes equals one of our exercise minutes)...So if your half-assing it then a 45 minute non-sweating workout would be 22 minutes...suck...that might push some people!?!?

Just a thought, maybe too many numbers this early en la manana...

I agree with Jtag. I would like a goal of like 16-20 workouts (4-5 times a week).

Well, I know that I take an hour of Pilates every week, walk for an hour downtown after that.

I walk 20 minutes in the AM and 20 minutes at lunch, and then 30 minutes downtown just about everyday after work.

I can't say that I am sweating, although my legs certainly tingle when I finally get on the subway for the trip into Brooklyn.

On the weekends, I walk again both days, for an hour. But I don't count the twenty odd trips up and down the cellar stairs for the laundry, or the vacuuming I do every few days because of my dog.

Hey...sorry that wasn't my idea, I was trying to quote Miss Tulip, but it didn't work so well.

Minutes work better for me than "20 workouts" sounds like Chrissann is the same way....because I do short spurts - 15 minutes here, 15 minutes there - basically my activity is spread throughout the day for me - not all at once....but not all my minutes are created equal, I think I'm going to do the 2:1 if I don't break a sweat, or not count those minutes at all....we'll see if I feel different when I only have 430 good minutes on 4/29!! ha ha ha!

Let's get crack-a-lackin'!!!
