Exercise. Everyday. You set the minimum. Be honest.
Running. Swimming. Cycling. Walking. Weight training. Yoga. Anything.
***Anyone who completes a 365-day streak will get a free high-quality (probably Patagonia) T-shirt with a cool RM-related design. I'll extend this to March 1, 2015, for anyone who wants to join or has already ballsed up their streak and wants to restart.

10 miles in 67 minutes

Late run, but felt great. Low 40s with a stiff breeze. Good half-mile finishing kick. 34 out. 33 back. Great run.

Streak counter: 6

This is actually not a bad idea. Can you start low and adjust your minimum later on?

I would say absolutely. Making fitness a priority is something that must be fostered and you don’t want to set the bar too high to begin before having a chance to promote the habit. Plus, in modern society one thing you can’t buy, next to love anyway, is time; I’d say adjust your goals accordingly but keep the streak as the main concern.

For myself, I know my schedule gets awfully crunched so I’m going with twenty-five minutes of resistance training or two miles of running per day as my minimum. I didn’t get in to the house until after midnight last night so I’ll be starting today.

Nice job, t2b.

Thanks, of35. I added you to the OP. Happy exercising, friend. I'll help motivate you the best I can.

Narr, absolutely! Start low, then adjust. This is meant to be flexible and fun. As long as you're exercising everyday!

finally, a place for RMers to discuss working out

I've felt myself almost slipping back into a depression of sorts, so this will not be an 'exercise to get fit' thing for me, but more of a 'get out of the house so I don't go nuts' thing.

So sign me up for a minimum 30 minutes of outdoors walking every day.

I'll start tomorrow, because it's already pitch dark and since I just moved here, I don't really know the surroundings at all.

for real

What we need is a p90x thread.

Narr, added you to the OP. Happy walking, friend.

Fuck you.

I did the plyo one this morning.

we'd need a different thread for how many days in a row you p90xed though

You guys don't see the benefit of having a separate thread to track how the participants are doing? Really?

Because the board will surely implode if there is one more thread which not everyone finds useful.

i dont think they see the benefit of exercise, so no, probably not.

The other thread was people saying "hey so today I run/lifted X", this new one will be... pretty much the same?

This thread is for people who want to exercise for consecutive days in a row. And want some added motivation and accountability. While, yes, we could have done that in the work-out thread, this should make it easier for participants to track how everyone's doing.
