The President's Challenge

Since its the political season, I've decided to get political with my workout.
I discovered a new challenge for myself - "The President's Challenge" http://www.presidentschallenge.org

Much to my surprise, i fit into the "Advanced Category". This means that I'm working out for more than 60 minutes for 5 days a week or more.

I track my activities online and earn points for them. You then get a bronze, silver or gold award.

So far, I've earned 1,239 points. I need 40,000 points for the bronze award. Yikes!! I'll be posting periodically updates.

I started my tracking on 2/1/08. Sure one could cheat...who would know? Just you and your waistline!

Lot's of folks are involved with this program. Some are: Mary Lou Retton, Denise Austin, Donna Richardson Joyner & Andy Roddiclk, To see the rest of the council members go to: http://fitness.gov/about_bios.htm
