I didn't get any REAL exercise yesterday -- but I did do some walking while shopping. (I need a lot of new clothes for fall/winter as my old ones are mostly too big.)

But this morning, I went for another good walk on the beach. I'm not doing much for my upper body this week, but this beachwalking is giving my legs a good workout.

As expected, I am getting off to a slow start this month as I am on vacation (Outer Banks of North Carolina -- Ahhhh....). But I did a good walk on the beach this morning.

Hi I think this sounds like a good idea and I never done an exercise challenge before. I will start at 1000 minutes for October. I am also doing the fall TRICK OR TREAT TROT 5k with sparkpeople so this will be good training. I was going to try to run/walk but it has turned into all walking!

If so my Fitness minutes goal will be 1500 for October. Considering that we're two days in I best get a move on!

Hi everyone! I'm new to this challenge but like the idea. I need the accountability & motivation. Been doing well the past 9 days so I want to keep the momentum going...which will be tough in a couple weeks when I have friends arrive for a few days.

My October goal is 2500 fitness minutes

Last month I did this challenge and originally set a goal of 750 min. I'm pleased to say I kicked that goal around the 17th or 18th so I upped my goal to 1200. I didn't quite make 1200 because I got less committed toward the end of the month, but I am still pleased with my efforts.

This month I am increasing my goal to 1250.

Didn't quite make 1400 in September. I knew the start of school would derail me, but I'm going to set my goal again for 1400 for October. I hope everyone meets their goal this month.

I"m in again. But I will be on vacation for most of the first week and probably not getting as much exercise as I should. I'm going to try to get some exercise while on vacation, but I suspect I'll be playing "catch-up" as the month nears its end.
