2013-2014 Exercise Challenge

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

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!

I am counting my PT stretch and strengthening stuff as regular, because it is... some of it is stuff I do in other venues, but now I do it daily. And, it's working. My issue is that some days I don't do a full hour, espeially on a run day, but when I add the stretching, it gets to an hour. I am having a dental procedure Wed. PM, and he told me last summer I shouldn't exercise for a week after... no way. I will wait until Saturday and I will forgo any impact until next Monday, but I have no history of bleeding problems, so be it. I asked my friend who had the same thing and he said he was riding the next day.

I am only separating mine out because on non-gym days I tend to slack on it. For some reason in my head it is different when I am home

Kind of cool, I was just in the spreadsheet adding my work for today, and saw someone else in there doing the same thing at the same time Apparently I am easily amused
