Ok I am back on the challenge!!
Managed to walk for 4 hours this week. Set myself a goal of walking to work at least 3 times a week, and I did that Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, one hour, 5.5 - 5.9km, depending on the route. And then a lovely long river walk on Saturday with OH.
Found a very cool free app called endomondo that is a great motivator: you choose your exercise (walking, cycling, running, etc), click start and then it tracks your route, calorie consumption, ave speed, etc. and you can upload your route to FB when you're done. Unfortunately I forgot to turn it off before jumping on the ferry yesterday, and I had a few comments about my swim, starting iron man, etc
Still waiting for the scale to arrive to check my weight, but at least I am starting to feel leg muscles again!

Thanks for that, I've just downloaded it, hopefully it will help me to do the distance i need to do.
I never did do it every day and only now am i starting to do more exercise. A little each day.

Hey All, I go to an intense exercise class most week days (it's kinda like crossfit) and I was wondering if anyone wanted me to post the routines? I have all of the ones I've gone to since the start of Janurary written down. If people are interested I can start a new thread with daily posts I would also possibly be able to substitute exercises for ones people might feel wary of, if say they have any injuries, and post links to videos detailing the different exercises.

Right then ladies (any gents around these days?). Time to dust off those trainers and get the exercise challenge back up and running!
Sara suggested a Christmas deadline, which is only 4 months away, but enough time to get in shape (just so we can stuff ourselves like turkeys!!)
So, choose your poison and let's get some commitments: whether it's walking 30 mins a day, getting to gym twice a week or making it through a month of Insanity: anything goes.
My weekly goal is this:
- cycling 50km a week (three times a week to work, plus bits and pieces on the weekend)
- start doing press ups and squats again in the mornings before work
- walking 2-3 hrs a week.
So who's in: Becca, Sara, lady P...?
