WELCOME--TWENTY1DAYS

So last week I decided I didn’t like my body, which is not really unusual. I mean, most of us probably feel this way every once in a while, right?

Well instead of lamenting, I decided to do something about it.

I once read it takes 21 days to develop a good habit. I want my good habit to be daily exercise. And I figured there were other folks out there who might be interested in doing the same thing. Hence, [info]twenty1days was born.

HOW THIS WILL WORK

Challenge #1: twenty1days to a rockin’ body
This first challenge will run 21 consecutive days during which you (as a participant) will deliberately exercise on a daily basis. The type of exercise you do is up to you; mods, girlieerin and hannibehr will do lots of yoga. Our twenty1days fitness guru, Sportsstar will mix it up with cycling, combat classes, running and anything else that suits her fancy.

This is not a weight loss challenge. This is simply an experiment in developing good habits. However, for results you can see, the suggested duration of exercise is 45 – 60 minutes 6 days/week and 15 – 30 once/week.

Challenge Details

Start Date: Monday, August 21st
End Date: Sunday, September 10th

Type of Exercise: Your choice

Suggested Duration of Exercise: 45 – 60 minutes 6 days/ week
15 – 30 1 day/ week

To participate: join this community before Monday, August 21st. Click [info]twenty1days and then “User Info” from the header area. On the displayed page, click “click here.”

ok, so, this is aweful of me, but I don't have a real way to go to the gym to exercise anything like that? will that effect this (or will just exercising with my crappy bar thing work)?

[info]hannibehr

August 18 2006, 23:11:43 UTC 5 years ago

good question!

Lots of people (myself included) don't have memberships to a gym. I'm going to be using dvds for yoga and then running outside on Sunday afternoons. I know some other people in here are doing bellydancing, walking, soccer and a bunch of other stuff.

No gym membership required!

If I can use Richard Simmons tapes as most of my excersize time (since thats all I seem to think of being able to do) I'd love to join :]

[info]hannibehr

August 19 2006, 14:41:55 UTC 5 years ago

Please join!

We have almost 500 members for this challenge. I'm sure you won't be the only one sweating to the oldies. Heh.

I'm sorry but at this point I can only send you this link:

http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=101

You also need to click on the "watch community" icon at the top of the community. It is the little person with the "+" sign. That will add all of the community posts to your friends page.

Im so absolutely pumped about starting this. Its a perfect time for me to start getting into habits. I jsut started school so I have a real schedule again, and my mom just took all the junk food away(thank god for that!) Im really excited! I love exercising, I just never am motivated and I need some friends to do it with!

[info]oh_asphyxie

August 19 2006, 17:55:35 UTC 5 years ago

Okay, so, i'm involved in a team sport, and starting the twenty first we'll be practicing five days a week. Would this be considered "deliberate" exercise? Can I count this toward my daily exercise, or do I need to add something else on those days that I have practice? Thanks a bunch! :]

[info]hannibehr

August 19 2006, 23:41:56 UTC 5 years ago

Team sports is *absolutely* deliberate excercise. You rock. See you in the challenge. That is all.

[info]insanegolfur

I just want to say what a great idea! This will help motivate me from becoming an even bigger couch potato. ^_^

I am so happy to hear that!

i sort of wish this wasn't on the lj home page only because there are so many people in the community and so many posts already that my friends list would drive me CRAZY if i join. and if i don't add it to my friends i won't read it bc i suck like that. but i do think it's an awesome idea and could be very helpful!

You could always create another community to do 21 day challenges! I bet you could find enough people and then close to new members when you didn't want any more.

Is there any chance I could be let in? I requested membership at 12:20...

If not I guess I could participate on my own.

Yeah, 1:02 for me. =(

I did the same thing as oh_embarrassing - I just got online and checked this out because I've been meaning to get myself to exercise and this sounds like a great idea. I can try to participate on my own, though.

I hope I'm not too late :x This is a really good idea, and it'll help me to get motivated to exercise 6-days a week.

Joining!
This community is such an awesome idea :)

A Mr. Lincoln to let a girl in, perhaps? ;)

I just tried to join today, a day before the challenge starts, and would really like to be let in still. I already try to do this and this would give me more motivation to stick with it

Wait, what time zone are you? Only membership's not open and it's definitely still Sunday here . . . :(

[info]palenovember527

August 20 2006, 18:31:02 UTC 5 years ago

Yeah. That kinda sucks, it's still Sunday here too and membership isn't open. I thought I just made it, but apparently not. :/

Aw, dangit, I think I'm too late. :( *sigh* Well, I guess I can try to do it on my own...

IMPORTANT--YOU WILL STILL GET IN

So we're still letting people into the community until midnight EST. The only difference from before and now is, we are currently *approving* users instead of doing all access.

Check your friends page to see when you've been added.

Re: IMPORTANT--YOU WILL STILL GET IN

thanks for the heads-up. i told someone earlier that i was needing to get back into excercising and was starting on monday. this is surely a sign LOL

thank you for putting together a supportive group. 8-)
