    I'm in for 30 min 5 days a week. That equals 7800 minutes for the year. If I do more than so be it....but I think I can manage 30 minutes for 5 days. I have the Wii Fit now and also Zumba for Wii, plus a gym membership....I have no excuse not to exercise! Here's to a new year and a healthier year!

    20 minutes daily

    This goal is the most difficult for me so I intend to take baby steps.
    My goal is to exercise for 20 minutes three times per week.

    It can be to walk, bike, use the bo flex, use balance ball and bands or whatever as long as it is 20 minutes. I am embarrased to admit how much gear I own that I never use.....like a WI fit that has never been out of the box to date......Bo flex that I used 2 times in 2 years.....so today I declare ENOUGH ALREADY USE THE STUFF !!!!!!!

    So far, so good. 2 days in, 2 days of 30 minutes of exercise. Day 1 was 30 minutes of Just Dance 3 with DD, which is exhausting! Day 2 was 30 minutes on the treadmill.

    I made goal both days - 15 minutes each - must admit that all the time doing my hand exercises - but that's okay since it is the most important exercising I can do for myself right now - creating good habits - just saying
