For week 4 I managed 60 mins Ballet Barre (and lived to tell the tale!) 90 minutes of yoga and 90 minutes of walking = 240 minutes. Quite a stressful one for me this week but we now have our mortgage and our son got his place at middle school for September so a big weight off all round. Very much looking forward to yoga on Friday to help unwind and then a very large gin and tonic!
Hope you will join me for the March challenge. Thanks again for all of your support with this one. x

Thanks for running the February Foray and being good enough to continue with the Mad March challenge. I've found it extremely motivating and it really makes me think twice about vegging out on the couch!
Last week's stats are amazing, everybody did brilliantly! We're certainly the Movers and Groovers!!
Well done for clocking up 240 mins, that's brilliant, especially as you had a stressful week, with a lot going on!
Good for you battling Ballet Barre, I don't think I'd have the courage for that!
This week's totals for me, aren't quite as good as last week's, but I've got my grandchildren again this weekend, so that should see me racking up a few extras
Moving house/getting mortgages etc can be so stressful, and don't get me started on children . . . You do know it never ends? Even when they're adults?? Lol 😊
I'm also delighted to be in fourth place on the stats 😊 Yippee 🎉 Go me. This week is a different matter but for saying I had the best part of two whole days in bed it's not bad 😊
Walking 195
Pilates 15
Cycling 45
Gardening 70
Total minutes 21-28 Feb. 325
Have a good week everybody and thank you for running this challenge newbiewl 😊😊😊
Thanks, moreless I could have done more but near the end of the week I lost all motivation! I have done almost no exercise since, which is quite bad but I'm really not feeling it yet.
I'd like to echo MissisB 's sentiment and thank TheJuggler for organising and managing this challenge. It has helped me be more focused then I might have been.
Well done everyone, your postings look great. As for me...
Rebuilt ceiling that I'd already decorated and put the final layer of artex on this morning. A few coats of ceiling paint and repaint the wall that the flood messed up and yes, enough of this decorating. But then this house is always calling to have something done to it
I guess its like having my own personal trainer... not sure which would be the cheaper of the two
Really enjoyed slowly building up my exercise-I even went on a cross-trainer at the gym. First time in years, I had forgotten how much I enjoy it. I will need of build up my time on it but this challenge has helped me move forward in more than one way.
Well done to the super fit on this challenge.
Sorry but I don't like the sound of the ballet barre. But 'each to their own' as the saying goes. Lol😆
Great to hear the challenge has helped with motivation. Glad to hear you are enjoying it too. I am starting to really enjoy my routine now. Ha ha I won't force anyone into ballet barre and didn't think I would enjoy it but I'm definitely going back! Surprised myself with that one... Great work.
Gosh February is over already - thankyou Newbiewl for keeping us in track and to more less for doing the sums. Didn't we do well!
For my part, I have kept up my 30 minute brisk walk around the park weekday lunchtimes = 150 minutes and I also managed 2 Zumba and 1 LBT class this week = 180 minutes, so a weekly total of 330 minutes. Getting away from the office midday has given me a break from work and I will definitely be continuing. I've even treated myself to a smart new pair of trainers to leave in the office! Got to have the right image ha ha
Really glad you are enjoying it and great to get away from your desk isn't it? Ooh I have new trainer envy. Think that is going to be my next mini goal reward. Great work.
Sorry I'm late. Didn't have such a good week last week as Storm Doris has kept the golf course shut for several days
Cycling 54 minutes
Walking 176 minutes
Total 230 minutes
Hours asleep after 16 month old grand daughter stayed overnight for the first time, 14!!!!!
Thank you @newbiewl for the challenge and for the one to come. Well done everyone
well I did 180 mins of moderate walking and only 45 mins of strength exercise though I had planned to do more but too tired after work and a brewing cold- but probably could have done it if I forced myself but hopefully in March Hare challenge I'll stick to a minimum of 2 strength exercises a week
