groups

Who doesn’t want to be 1,000 pounds and featured on Gawker’s homepage? We don’t!

I’ll try to make this a weekly post where we can check in, ass kick each other, and brag about how tough we are. In convening our first meeting, this is the agenda (and, since I’m initiating it, my philosophy).

1. In general, I think exercise leads you to eat/take care of yourself a bit better, so this ain’t about dieting or calories.
2. Start where you are and be reasonable in your goals.
3. Help me name our exercise group.
4. Tell us what you plan to do/want to accomplish.
5. Keep track of the number of miles run, biked, swam, etc.

I like data, so I am going to be tracking my swimming and biking on Map My Ride, which also has Android and iOS applications (the Android one is free right now, just FYI). The cool thing about the mobile apps is that you can start the GPS at the start of your ride and it will track you automatically.

So that’s it – tell us how you want to report your results, I figure we can do some group tracking and whatnot and let’s exercise more than our fingers!
