Hi -- I'd like to join here please. That will give me a reason to actually use the ball that I've had for a while. Time to blow it up again.

Not sure exactly what I'll be doing yet, but I'll commit to 200 minutes this month. That's a start .......

i'm happy you came to join me!

some of us have become a little bored with our routines. if you come across anything you really like to do that might be new to us, let us know!

i just took a look at the length of this challenge. 43 straight running months! we've had 3 leaders... saty, biogeek and myself. it started out as a stability ball push up challenge and grew into what we have today. the award for the challenge didn't come till about 14 months later.

i may have to go back through and see how many minutes we completed as a group. but now right now. lol
