Daily fitness reports thread?

So... who's up for us creating a daily fitness report thread, where we all have to say what fitness activities we've been doing for the day?

It's to try and encourage people to exercise daily

Also, no cheating will be allowed - so cleaning the house doesn't = exercise (had to get that in cos I know what you're like )

To make it fair, I won't participate myself but will take part in the thread for moral support

Also, that's a good list DM! Surprised at some of those figures!

Ok - so I'll post the thread in a mo, and sticky it..

Here's a link showing other 'calories burned' figures. I don't know how accurate any of them are but I suppose they help give an idea
