Re: I DON'T EXERCISE procrastinator's challenge

Yay Pamela!

Ok, I took the dog for a walk twice around and kinda jogged the last few minutes to give him a thrill! Hmm, maybe it was the neighbors I gave the thrill too, I'm sure it wasn't a pretty sight.

I also went up and down my Mom's stairs 9.5 times. But, I went 1/2 way up then forgot something so I came half way back down so I'm calling it 10!

Jimmie, I counted, there are 15 steps.

Is it ok to join if I commit to 5 mins "extra" every day? I've been a slug while travelling this past week and need every little bit of extra push to get going again.

Re: I DON'T EXERCISE procrastinator's challenge

Oh what the heck. I'll join this challenge. I already do exercise most days of the week. Maybe on the days I don't feel like exercising, the idea of just doing 5 minutes might get be going.

Great idea for a challenge!

Re: I DON'T EXERCISE procrastinator's challenge

I'm so sorry -- haven't meant to drop the ball on this but I have been sick sick sick with some kind of stomach flu for 3 days running. Back on my feet a bit today, but MUST go grocery shopping and run errands -- my 9 month old grandson is spending the weekend and I have things I need to do and clean to get ready...

But this isn't a day to day challenge anyway -- it's a DO FIVE MINUTES OF ANYTHING YOU WANT (tho Jess's daily exercises look great) so long as it's five full non-stop minutes of exercise -- then report back on Sunday and we'll increase minutes each week.

I will be back -- and I'll start my 5 minutes all over again today (does lifting 30 lbs of grandson count?)..

Re: I DON'T EXERCISE procrastinator's challenge

yes the lifting counts as long as it's up and down and side to side and non stop for 5 minutes. lol

oh i couldn't do the boxer for 5 minutes straight. i had to stop and give myself a 10 or 15 second break and then back at it. if it's any consolation i probably did 6 minutes total.

Good one Sallyseachange!

I walked the dog.

Ok, I'll check out the exercise of the day. Maybe I'll do 5 min of that!

Re: I DON'T EXERCISE procrastinator's challenge

Well... this morning it's blowing a gale and pouring with rain. Dogs are sheltering...even they didn't want walkies!! So... I cleaned the house instead!
For the five mins... am about to go do the exercise of the day.

Re: I DON'T EXERCISE procrastinator's challenge

Yesterday in addition to my walk, I did some weights! Moving furniture into a truck, and out of a truck. More of that today!

Re: I DON'T EXERCISE procrastinator's challenge

Oh, and Joan, are you feeling better?

Re: I DON'T EXERCISE procrastinator's challenge

The first week will be 5 minutes a day of ANY exercise. You can walk, you can climb stairs, you can lift soup cans over your head, you can do crunches, you can do stretches, you can use exercise equipment -- but you must do SOMETHING for 5 minutes EVERY day. You will report here once a week on Sunday, and on Sunday night or early Monday morning come back and find out the challenge's increase in daily minutes.

as i read it, we are suppose to report here on sunday (that's today) and tell what we did, although i think we've been kinda doing it through the week.
the challenge was posted on the 4th, monday and that is the day i said i'd give it go.

monday - biked for 25 minutes
tuesday - 5 minutes of the EOTD, steps ups
wednesday - 5 minutes, EOTD, dumbbell lateral raises
thursday - 5 minutes, EOTD, boxer
friday - 5 minutes, EOTD, leg raises
saturday - 5 minutes, EOTD, dumbbell shrugs, 6.6 pound weights

on some days i did some other things but on other days, the 5 minutes was ll that i did.
