    Exercise Check-In for 5/25/2017

    Six people checked in this week.

    GOALS REACHED: We all made our goals!

    GOALS MISSED: None this week.

    Partial goals are fine. They are better than nothing. And, listening to your body is fine, too, and taking a break from making your goal when you need to. I love the way, too, that you help each other out with encouragement and suggestions.

    Exercise Tip: I don't always feel motivated to look for exercise tips. Feel free to add one, if you wish.

    For new Exercisers: Feel free to join us. You set your own personal goals that are realistic for you. You can keep the same goals week-to-week, or modify them. You decide if you accomplished them. Goals may include anything from doing your physical therapy to pedometer / fitbit steps to exercise classes to WiiFit exercises or even grocery shopping, housework, yard work if it feels like a workout. Check in once a week to let us know how you did last week, and to set goals for the following week.

    We're sort of flexible about determining whether you made goals -- you decide. Sometimes, if you didn't do exactly what you had planned, but something else comparable, we count it.

      made goal

      Hi Mamabug and all

      Made my goal - walk/stand 35 min (with rollator), 3x every day.

      Believe it or not, adding just 5 min to my usual 30 min was a struggle, and that extra 5 minutes seemed to take forever!

      But it was doable, and it did get a little easier as the week went on.

      Looking forward to seeing how everyone's week went.

          I did not meet my goal this week . I only made 3000 steps on two days. I am going to blame it on the heat - I am just feeling so tired (more than normal).

          Will try to do better next week ...
