      Hi All,

      I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO hesitant to commit to this challenge because of my limitations, not only due to my weight, but MOSTLY my DJD knees.

      BUT, I'm going out on a limb (hehe) and will commit to 5 minutes a day. That is pushing it because I have not exercised since I used to walk 1.5 miles in 20 minutes in 2002. I may have to go minute by minute so I won't hurt myself. But I have to start somewhere.

      So, considering it's already Aug 7th (25 days left in Aug), I'll commit to 100 minutes. So, I'll dust off my generic Gazelle (original gazelle was too narrow for my hips, this one is just right) and get going.

      I may not post during the weekends, but I'll be sure to track it and post during the week.

      I'll need inspiration along the way!!! But I love the accountability this website provides.

        "Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it is yours."

          Hi Nancy,
          Welcome to the challenge.
          I also have DJD, only in both of my hips. It's been difficult for me to get going in my gazelle routine lately, but have committed to ten minutes a day,trying to add minutes to that each time. As long as I get on it ten minutes a day, I know I can work my way up to more, as I get stronger and build endurance.
          I like to do a five minute stretch on the gazelle before I get started. The five minutes is seperate from the stride time. This helps loosen up the muscles and warm them up.
          I'm here cheering you on Nancy. We can do this! We deserve to be fit and healthy. Let's gett'er done.
          I look forward to watching you reach your goal.
          Sincerely, Sherri

                            2 more miles done tonight. My legs are like noodles, I don't think I have ever put in this kind of consecutive time with my elli machine. I like it though
