2013-2014 Exercise Challenge

Crankin - I've no idea how I came up with 165, I knocked it down to 100. I can't blame it on a typo either, I was counting weeks on my calendar and probably put the wrong # in my calculator. It's been a busy day but thanks for pointing this out. Your question was a good one, I hadn't thought about that. I changed the display to show 2 decimal points and added .75 to your December column as a test. The cumulative field is a formula - you CAN calculate that manually if you wish - but it will also add the numbers entered in the 3 monthly columns if you wish.


Owlie, I don't see the stretch goal - did you want that in a separate column? If you do and it isn't working for you let me know and I will take care of it.

I'm in with a goal of 60 hours. Owlie, that is my stretch goal.

That was what I originally put in. I edited it to a more realistic number and put the stretch one off to the side. Now to figure out how to do this...

I am in! I usually do between 7-8 hours in a normal non-training week, so I went for 100 hours as my goal. This will be fun.

Catrin,

Thanks for starting this. I spent an hour on the spin bike today and didn't quit after 32 minutes just so I could post a full hour on the spreadsheet. Hey, whatever works, right?

[Catrin]

Whatever it takes - I did this for me as much as for other members

[Becky]

My goal is 6 hours a week, which may be a reach now that I've cancelled my gym membership. I'm not exactly off with a bang either.

Thanks for putting this together, Catrin

I've edited the spreadsheet to make it more clear that you just need to enter your hours in the monthly column. The cumulative column is a formula field that will do the rest of the math for you. I've also added a couple of columns to the right to allow for a separate goal if desired. I've decided that I want to track my mobility/correctives work separately from my exercise. I didn't add monthly columns for this so there is no formula, but I DID add a formula column to the right that will sum both your regular and "other" totals together.

Have fun!
