Right, I have decided to do a cycling challenge to get myself motivated! I need to lose these last couple of pounds! Anyone is welcome to join me. We can all set our own goals and spur each other on. Actually, it need not be limited to cycling, it could be jogging etc...anything and our goal can be whatever works best with you (time, distance, calories etc). If you want to join please post your name, your goal for week 1 and your method of exercise. We will go from Monday to Monday.

Week 1:
Lea - Cycling - 1500 calories - 166 completed
 
Yay! I am not alone. Have a good think Jane.....

That's great Rach! Glad to have you on board. I am about to do another stint whilst watching hollyoaks...I have already done 20 mins today :)
 
Obviously the novelty of a new bike is here :D I have done 2 x 10 minute and 1 x 25 minute workouts. Over 700 calories burned today :) I had better eat though - I have not eaten anywhere near that many yet I doubt! Does anyone know how many activity points 45 mins on a bike would work out too?

Week 1:
Lea - Cycling - 1500 calories - 717 completed
Rach - Cycling - 1hr 45mins - 0 mins completed
 
ok i know this is a rubbish challenge but i've not 'exercised' for ages, so am gonna say do some walking everyday, and i mean in addition to my everyday business!! its a start
 
I'll join in too. Not sure of my challenge yet, but will post it when I think up a good one.

Think calories burned might be a good place to start - as I now earn them to eat them. ;)
 
That is my reasoning basically rosie. I am nearly at goal but do not want to never have treats so for me exercise = treats :)

Good luck thinking of a challenge.....
 
Well done Jane! It's a start! It all counts too ;)

I am ill today. I am not sure I am going to be able to do much tonight. I might have a really gentle cycle just so I have done something but I have horrendous cold :( ugh! I feel so rough! I will soldier on though......:D
 
I managed a slllooow 20 minute cycle for 225 calories. Better than nothing eh?

Week 1:
Lea - Cycling - 1500 calories - 942 completed

well you're over half way already, great stuff especially if you're feeling rough.
Not sure what i'm going to fit in tomorrow. Am going on a trip with school , then to Olivias dance performance in the evening. Still will be on my feet most of the day i guess!!
 
Great idea Lea, will join you but on my treadmill - guess the easiest goal would be miles ...
