CoreCommit to Exercise - Round 5: Oct 29 to Dec 30
« on: January 04, 2012, 03:50:34 PM »
This session will run for 9 weeks.

Dates - April 1 through June 1

Currently committed to round 2:
Rumbas - 4 days/wk
littleman - 4 days/wk
thesaintv12 - 4 days/wk
Drastic - 5 days/wk
ergophobe - 4 days/wk
jetboy - 5 days/wk


The setup:
Commit to X number of workouts or exercise sessions per week, post that in this thread before March 31.
Post weekly in this thread, by end of Monday for previous weeks' success.

The rules (same as before):
No "banking" of extra workouts to put towards future weeks.
No make up sessions for missed workouts from previous weeks.
Workout week is Mon-Sun. This allows a full business week plus weekend for makeup if needed.
You determine what an exercise session is, but it should constitute the same cardio and/or strength training as a regular workout.

Checking in - I have completed my 5 days this week (3 out on the bike, 2 on the weights).  I plan to do weights again tomorrow.

Quite happy to join in on the $20


@mivox - No official sign up.  How many days are you committing to?  I'm sure Drastic will add you to the list?

Mivox,  this is a break-out from the Less is More thread, just added you.

If we have enough interested in the money incentive, we could give top 3 even or stepped amounts. If it's just 2-3 of us, we can do 1 winner with 1 larger amount - 40-50 bucks maybe depending on how much we want to "bet". So far it looks like it might just be the two of us.

Remember what Ed was like last time he almost had to pay out though.  He will look like an Olympic athlete in three months time  ;)

Yeah,  imagine 50-100 bucks on the line every time you think about skipping. Even if you don't get anything the improvement in action is worth it, which is the point anyway.

Well, since I signed up on Jan 4, I'd have to work out twice on one day to be able to make 5 days a week...at least for this first week.  Or does the week end on Sunday?

And God Almighty am I sore.

I wouldn't worry about this week unless you had already planned on starting on Mon-Tues as far as the commitment goes.

Friday check-in, just finished my 4 this week.  I'll probably do some skateboarding this weekend with the kids for a bonus.

5 for me this week, thinking about going in for just cardio again tomorrow to help smooth the transition, it was a rough week.

Did I commit to exercising? Don't remember that! Just losing weight for me. For health reasons I can't do any exercise other than walking, so it has to be just good old-fashioned eating less for me.

I actually didn't think it was possible to lose 28 pounds in 3 months by just eating less, but when you start at an disgustingly obese 238 pounds (which I was in Sept) then I guess it is!

<Edit> Just read through the Less is More thread. Apparently I did commit to 5 days a week exercising. Er, I didn't mean to!

Agreed edo, dietary habits have a huge role in it..can't lose weight when you eat like sh##.

Too late, you have to now!

Just kidding.    You are right, diet is a huge part of of it.  There is a saying: You can't out exercise a bad diet, and it is really true.

Schweet. I intend to start M-F on Monday then. I'll warm up a bit this weekend, so's I don't injure myself. ;-)

Has anyone invented a stationary bike-powered laptop yet?
