lmao you ain't gonna get me to show you guys myself sweating.

I'll take your word for it d: This is just to motivate me and yourself to actually get off our butts and move, so if you lie about it it's your own loss ;)

I am a really busy person. I don't get much spear time. That's why I have decided to decline this challenge sorry.

Kostas May 19th, 2018 5:21 AM

Basically I'm already doing this for some months now so I'm in :p

Hiatus May 19th, 2018 5:31 AM

Same here.

Resolve May 19th, 2018 5:35 AM

Been doing similar things since 2016, so I guess I'm in. not sure about 30 minutes tho

Enpatsu Shakugan May 19th, 2018 5:43 AM

I already do 45 minutes 6 days a week on a bike. Been doing it for months.

Alexander Nicholi May 19th, 2018 6:24 AM

It takes me about 20-25 minutes to walk into downtown one way, and since I do that every single day as a habit more than anything else, I guess that works?

I also have a bicycle and am applying for UberEats, but they’re being shitty at the moment so I can’t yet go online. I bike occasionally anyway though.

blue May 19th, 2018 8:06 AM

oh i definitely need to get in on this

moon May 19th, 2018 8:51 AM

I’ve just been out for a walk with my friends for about 40 minutes. We said we should stop going for coffee together all the time and start powerwalking instead d:

Kostas May 19th, 2018 9:03 AM

I've already finished mine. 30 minutes running + 50 push-ups + 70 sit-ups. That's what I'm doing most days

LadyJirachu May 19th, 2018 9:08 AM

Shouldn't be too hard for me *shrug* This lovely lady just HAPPENS to have a dog she can walk a few times each of those 7 days, afterall~And all those walks are sure to add up to 30 minutes :U Her her her

It takes 50 miles just to burn 1 pound, walking is to easy and simple.
Running does tho. I run a lot, it has helped me build a lot of muscle.

Kostas May 19th, 2018 12:09 PM

Umm walking definitely helps too! Not as much as running but it helps a lot. Also, burning calories/weight depends on your body, and your weight.

Hyzenthlay May 19th, 2018 12:23 PM

Long walks are actually really good, especially at a brisk pace. It just doesn't burn tons of calories like the more vigorous exercises. I do it mostly to maintain a balanced weight. That way it doesn't build up and surprise me the next time I'm on the scales!

That being said, if I walk 30+ minutes each day, does it count towards this challenge?

I also enjoy cycling for 30 - 60 minutes every other day, but my tires are flat and the weather has been far too cold and wet since Autumn arrived. So walking and/or trampolining will have to do for now!

professor plum May 19th, 2018 4:09 PM

I could definitely be down for this. Aaaand, for proof, we could include screenshots from whatever fitness tracking app we use [e.g. MyFitnessPal, MapMyRun, etc.]

Nothing like being held accountable!

Resolve May 20th, 2018 7:03 AM

I'm late, but I did my usual 120 push-ups (20x6) each for the regular and bicep forms as well as 117 squats (supposedly 20x6), 60 sit-ups (20x3), and 20x4 of lifting makeshift weights. My rep count hasn't been increasing since March and I'm at a loss.

Hyzenthlay May 21st, 2018 6:44 AM

Today I took a forty minute walk up and down our five acre property.

It was a beautiful evening. There's nothing like an orange Australian sunset gleaming off gum trees. I saw several different birds (including a huge crow that swooped over me) and noticed that the wattles are about to flower. Looks like a storm could be on the horizon. Hopefully it doesn't interfere with this challenge too much!

Meganium May 21st, 2018 6:51 AM

I've been doing 30-45 min walks each day, and early in the morning because Houston gets really really humid and muggy these days. I did one about an hour ago for 30 minutes.

moon May 21st, 2018 10:20 AM

Yesterday I took a brisk walk followed by some exercises. I should tone my body a little bit, instead of potato form :B

Enpatsu Shakugan May 21st, 2018 10:42 AM

I agree with Dawn shipper guy, whatever his new name is. Walking is activity, sure, but not really exercise.

It won't produce results, in any case. You'll need at least cardio, which walking isn't.

Janp May 21st, 2018 10:44 AM

I'm in! Not sure if it counts, but I was walking with my full backpack whole day. If not, then I'm starting tomorrow!
