Sure join in Natalie. Just make an estimate on how many minutes you will work out for the rest of the month. If you do 90 minutes a week then you may b want to pledge around 300 minutes since there are about 3 1/2 week left. (90x3.3)

thanks georgiana! Reporting in for the day, met with trainer mike for another 30 min. Legs: squats & lunges abs/core: planks (still yikes) bicycles, weighted side rotations, and incline lower leg pushes (targets those dreaded lower abs) Upper: flys, pushups, and chest pull downs
weighed in today and I'm down 3 lbs and started getting my ab lines on my tummy this week... I'm in maintenance and not even trying to lose so this was just an extra bonus.. woo hoo! thanks ladies for the motivation!

I hope that I just add my mins to the list in this challenge. My routine is similar every day with slight changes from time to time. I might ajust my goal as I do go to the gym so much but I'll not do it jut yet. Just in case.
