The Fourth TDC Fitness Challenge!

A group of your fellow TDC members decided to form our own challenge six months ago, and it’s been a great motivator to make a real commitment to exercise. Our goals have been to increase our physical fitness over the course of eight weeks without incurring any kind of injury.

Some of us felt overwhelmed by other fitness challenges on the forum, some too intense, some too specific, and some with participants trying to match the measurements of a Barbie doll.

There is no minimum level of activity here that is too small. For that matter, no maximum level, either. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or fitness newbie, we can encourage each other to do our best.

The TDC Fitness Challenges are not about going from 'no activity' to 'stair-stepping for 120 minutes straight' in two months. We want to take reasonable steps to improve our health and stay motivated enough to keep moving.

Here's a link to the Third Fitness Challenge to see what they've been like.

Our New Challenge starts Friday, January 23rd and will continue for eight weeks. Why not join us? We’d love the company!

Sign up here and I’ll contact you when the official thread is open on the Countdown, Buddies and Challenges sub forum.

I've had a great experience with the 3rd challenge. Monika is a great motivator and it is truly a pleasure to hear about the experiences of the whole group. I highly recommend it - even if you are like me and hate exercising.

Count me in again!

This might get me going...

Hi all...

Count me in. I need to get going anyway, so what better way than with a challenge. I like the fact that I can set my own goals and not have to keep up with anyone but me.

Will we be having a cute icon to put in our signature?? I love the ones that people have designed for other challenges. If I knew how to do it, I think it would be fun to design one.

TTFN!!

Monika,

Thank you for doing this again! I would love to join the fourth challenge, but I am going to be out of town when it starts, so I may need to pick it up a little bit late.

I am planning to exercise while I am out of town, so even if I join late I can still post my exercise for that week.

Thanks for organizing this for us!!!!!!
