Hi - Yup, I want to do it.  Put me down for 1,000 hours.  Thanks!  Becky

WOW 1,000 hours!!! You are being a bit hard on yourself, aren't you Becky??  Why don't I put you down for 1,000 minutes, LOL...  This made me laugh!  Thank you!

oh jeesh...is it Friday yet?  I just started a running group last night and I think I'm a bit out of it.  There aren't even 1,000 hours in a month!!  Ha !!

What are you doing on the computer??? You need to be exercising to get your 1000 hours in!!! LOL!!

I'm exercising my fingers! 

I wanna play, but I've questions...

I'm new to these exercise challenges, so fill me in on "exercise".  Does the stretching before/after count toward our minutes?  I don't want to cheat!  How about lower impact things like Yoga  (hush - I LIKE my Yoga for Dummies DVD!) or are we just counting the cardio/weight type stuff?  Any other ground rules?
Does 750 minutes seem like a reasonable challenge to start with?  Janine

Hey Janine! Personally I do count my stretching after a workout, because I understand that your body is still burning calories during stretching !!!  Yes Yoga and  things count... Really no rules, the goal is to do any type of exercise! 750 would average out to 25 minutes a day!  I think it is reasonable and obtainable!!! 

Put me down for 600.  (So far, I am well on the way to beating that, but since that's the number I challenged my friends to, that's the number I'll stick with for this month!)

Hi Cindy,     I'm doing my usual routine of walking for 1.5 to 2 hrs a day and swimming 30 minutes 4 times a week.   I may not be here to post my weekly times though (I've a loved one in hospice).  The next month or so is going to be rather full .  But I'm keeping up my routine and preparing for surgery in September.  You'all take care, Treading
