I'm not setting myself any targets except to do some sort of exercise every day.

So it could be a bike ride,hula hooping,walking up and down stairs for 10 mins non stop,going for a walk. My walking around at work for 2 hours will not count.

July has 31 days and 5 weekends.

Good plan Craftermary, that means you will exercise 31 times this month

Im going to take a leaf out of Craftmarys book too and count the actual amount of times I get some exercise. I cant do every day as some days I work full days and not only will I not have the time but will have been very active at work anyway. So forgetting about the weekends I would like to exercise 21 times in July.

Had a short walk and finished it by going a number of times around the garden to reach 5km

To swim 300 lengths 0 lengths done/ 300 lengths to go
To walk 50 km 5km done/45km to go
To cycle 100km 0km done/ 100km to go
To exercise 21 times 1 time done/ 20 to go

Oo can I join in?

I want to go to the gym more often so will try and do at least twice a week and see how it goes. I would also like to use my excersise dvds. So maybe once a week for that.

I'm not good at sticking to things so will have to be focused and set small goals for now.

I've been working all weekend so 16 hours on my feet running around but no formal exercise. I had planned on bringing my phone to measure my steps but my work trousers have no pockets. I might get one of the manual pedometers to clip on.
