1. I will ride my bike at least 175 miles over the month, riding at least 4x per week.

2. I will walk 5 days a week, for an hour.

3. I will face my fear of the testosterone filled college students and to the weight room at least twice.

I am in. I have been sick for the past week and my work schedule has gotten out of hand. So, instead of making excuses to myself for why I can't get the exercise in - I will be accountable to my fellow bandsters. :biggrin:

Zumba class 5 days a week :biggrin:

30 minutes each day on the elliptical

Walk the treadmill for 30 min twice a week during lunch

[Ceradad 10]

Count me in for another month.

55-65 minutes of cardio at least 6 days a week. Lifting 4 nights a week (except for my off week between lifting cycles, should be last week of August).

This morning was leg workout. No cardio today as tomorrow is my first ever triathlon.:biggrin:

Count me in.

I did... OK.... in July. I walked about a mile and a half every day in July, but the good, focused exercise sessions were more sporadic than I had hoped. The weekend in Chicago was amazing, 22 miles in three days, but while it was in the heat and humidity and carrying things around, it wasn't necessarily aerobic. I count it as good, but not as good as it could have been.

I am starting this month on the right foot and have workout plans for each of the first three days of the month.

My goals is to work out - not just throw some walking in - at least 3 days a week on a treadmill, bike, or elliptical. Walking every day will be additional, instead of the only exercise I get.

I will also add some yoga or pilates or weights at least 2 days a week.

Wow! I can already tell you all are going to make me step up my game --- those are some killer workouts!

Today I spent an hour at a yoga class. I always feel like a sissy when I say Yoga, but my instructor kicks butt and it is a great workout!!! So, two days of working out in a row.
