Exercise challenge??

I'm in....how do we let you know

You can post on this thread any time you do any cardio and I will keep a running total. Thanks for joining in!

[Seahawksfan]

I'd like to be included. I have my post-op appmt tomorrow so I don't think I can do much else beside walk. Winter weather is setting in and by Fri. we should have snow. I wonder how many laps in my house equal a mile? lol

Walking is great and another idea is maybe a mall or indoor shopping center to beat the cold. Good luck and thanks for joining.

Small Mtn. town living. No malls, but I will look into the gym. Not sure what my Dr. will say tomorrow. I'll do what I can.

I just listened to Carrie Underwood's song Wasted and thought this is an awesome workout song that really reflects how I feel about my journey with the sleeve. Time to stop wasting my life and get rid of things that are not healthy for me!

First off I want to say thanks fluffynomore, Karen and Linda for your contribution this week!

I am juggling finals so I read the post but forgot to come back and post, I apologize.

As for me, I went to the gym twice this week and burned 460 calories total doing a walking running combination on the treadmill.

As for totals:
We have collectively burned approximately 2915 calories!!!!!!
We have exceeded the goal but this does not mean that we should not keep going this week. This will help me set a more realistic goal next time. So, all the people who wanted to join in please still feel free to add more calories to this total and lets see just how far above the goal we can reach!

I will not post a challenge over the holiday season because I know people will be busy with family and shopping but I will post the next one January 6.

[karen p]

Yesterday and today I walked on the treadmill and burned 360 calories (total).

[Watch out world]

I'm in. .. why don't you start a group. i walked foran hour today and did 4 flights of steps. . I have no idea how much that burned

Wow, I totally missed the rest of this conversation after day 1. I am going to try a spin class tomorrow - the doc said it is ok, just no resistance on the bike. Even with no resistance, I am gonna DIE !!! But I am gonna try

The class is an hour - will let you know how I do. I should probably drink a protein drink before - would anyone agree? In the past I would have had one after, but I don't know if I will have the stamina without it.
