November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

[Adena]

• Is it starting to get really cold where you live?
• Do you prefer to work out in the privacy of your own home?
• Do you like having virtually no excuses to keep you from exercising... too hot, too cold, rain, snow, dust bowls, don't feel like driving to the gym?
• Do you like working out in your pajamas... or even (gasp!) nothing at all??

Then you might be an exercise video nut!


Thanks to Kat for starting the exercise video challenge last month and doing a great job with it! I'm happy to continue it for November.

If you'd like to join, please sign up here, and then use this thread to report your progess, which we'll track progress by counting videos.

Kicking us off, I'll commit to 16 videos in November (I'll be alternating videos with walking/running outside).

What's YOUR goal?

Re: November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

I'll be back again Adena! I'll be finishing up my Slim in 6 in november so this will be perfect for me... I'm gonna shoot for 22 videos, which should take me to the six week completion of the program and if all goes well (crossing my fingers) I should have some pretty good before and after photos to share!

Re: November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

My goal is to do 23 workout tapes for the month.

Yee Haw!

Re: November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

Great, Toga. I can't wait to see your progress! And congratulations on bumping up your video count so much!

Yay, Kat -- so glad you're still going strong. You'll be my unofficial co-hostess/cheerleader here, right? And you're upping your goal, too.

Welcome ladies!

Re: November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

Good for you, Saty! So glad you're joining us again. And you, too, are upping your goal. You video nuts are all such overachievers!

With four participants, we already have committed to 81 videos!

Who else is up for the challenge??

Re: November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

I'm going to chime in with a timid 15...but don't think I'm a liar if I do more!

Now this can be the same video repeated correct? I only own so many...I'm new to all of this, so forgive me if I sound green...it's because I am...lol.



So who is the person that delivers the beatings if we don't succeed?


Oh, who am I kidding...everyone will succeed!

(because they don't want a beating!)

Re: November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

I will commit to 10 videos--it's a weak goal but I like walking outside even when it gets chilly as long as there's no snow.

Adena, thanks for being the ringleader for the November video nuts.

Re: November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

I'm in too! I'll pledge 20 video's this month. Go Nuts!

Re: November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

Wooo-hooo! Now that's more like it!

Welcome CathyJo, Val, and Tryin! So glad we're all in this together. No, Cathy, I promise we won't call you a liar if you exceed your goal. I'm hoping to be in that boat too, actually -- I just didn't want to over commit. I mean, the hostess has to meet her goal, right?!

Good for you for upping your goal, Tryin! That's an extra video a week!

And I'm with Val -- I also like to walk outside when I can. We should still have some pretty mild temps in Atlanta next month. I'm starting training now for a half marathon at the end of March. While I love the WATP videos and they definitely help me burn calories and build my stamina, I have to admit that nothing beats actually getting out there on the streets if you're training for a walk/run. But, what I love about the videos is that it just feels so much more doable to do one everyday and make it a habit. As I've said, it's pretty hard to find an excuse to not simply walk over and turn on the TV.

So far, we've committed to 126 videos as group -- yay for us nuts!

Re: November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

P.S. CathyJo, you can be in charge of the beatings, if you like. Since it looks like you already have the whip....

Oh boy! I get to give the beatings! You all heard it...Kat's going to be the one giving my beatings, should I backslide...just so no one feels like I'm being lofty...LOL.

Re: November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

That's right, sister, I'll be nipping at your heels!

Re: November Exercise VIDEO Challenge

Count me in...I'm going for 30...one per day. I've got a re-committment to my goal and part of it is an exercise video per day, so this challenge comes at a perfect time.
