  • Exercise video challenge...?

    So many of us do exercise videos -- and probably more so as the weather cools off. Has there ever been an exercise video (timed) challenge? Might be fun to track how much time we all spend sweatin' to the oldies in front of our TVs. And it would be pretty easy for a lot of people to participate. What do you guys think -- any interest?

    In the 2.5 years (since I have been here) there hasnt been any such challenge as a timed excercise video one.

    Sounds like a good idea.

    Go for it.

      Rich - you mean if I think it up, I have to host it, huh? Me and my big mouth...

      Who might be interested in participating? If there's enough interest, I'll do it. I just might have to bribe Saty to help me with a fun chart.

        That sounds about right, yes.

          Adena-
          I would be interested in a challenge. I wouldn't want to go by minutes but would be willing to commit to a certain number of videos in a designated period of time.

            Thanks for the input, Val. I'm certainly open to other ways of tracking...

              I wish I could participate Adena! Because of issues I have with my joints and my back, I can't do home videos anymore. I could do the 10 minute abs video by denise Austin though!

                check out the vidot exercise challenge in the exercise forum and see if you can drum up some members. the videos are too bouncey for my knees.

                  How long would the challenge last?

                  All we would do is count our minutes each day and tally them for the week? Month?

                  Just curious. I was talking with my husband and I need to do better in the exercise department so this challenge caught my eye since it is new.

                  I have plenty of videos so I'm good there.

                      I need a way to force myself to Billy Blanks Taebo tape. So I'm in with this one. How is this challenge going to work exactly?

                        Hi, guys -- sorry, didn't get enough interest in this one, so I'm going to pass on it this month. I'll try again next month, and try to give more advance thought to exactly how, which might interest more folks, and then I'll maybe do it for Nov. Sorry to disappoint those (few) who were interested!

                          Hey, if anyone is interested, I am going to start an exercise challenge for those using videos for the month of October. Then if Adena starts one for November, I'll jump on the wagon with her. I just need to get moving now! (I PM'd Adena about this, but I think she is out sick right now.)

                          Anyway, I'll start a new thread and if anyone wants to join in, that will be fine.

                              Thanks, Adena! I'm glad you're feeling better!! I just needed to make myself move so bad! And now that I'm feeling more energetic I thought I'd better take advantage of right now and start.

                              Thanks for the compliment! You're sweet!!
