Work Out Pledge 2: This Time it's Even Pledgier

I gained weight over the last two weeks.  In order to work it off quickly, I need a monster workout which means it's time for my second workout pledge.  I got (stole) the idea from 344pounds.com and exercised for 32 minutes on the elliptical machine. 

For those of you new to my blog, here's how it works.  You have until noon on Friday to tell me how much I time I should spend exercising by doing any or all of the tasks I list below.  I'll be manning the elliptical machine again.

Post a comment: 15 seconds
A simple "good job" or "keep it up" is fine.  If you wanted to offer advice or ask for some, that's great too.  Every post counts, no matter how large or small.

Follow me on Facebook: 30 seconds
If you become a follower of 100 pounds in a year on facebook, you'll add 30 seconds to my workout.  If you look to the right, you'll see a facebook box.  Just click follow.  As of right now, I have 68 fans.  I will add 30 seconds for each additional person that becomes a fan on facebook by Friday at noon.

Follow me on Twitter: 30 seconds
Same as Facebook.  I often tweet things that don't make it onto my blog or Facebook.  My handle is 100_Pounds.  As of writing this I have 32 followers.

Subscribe to the RSS feed: 45 seconds
You'll have to let me know that you subscribed as I have no way of checking how many subscribers I have (that I know of).  Just email me.  Use the subject "Workout Pledge"

Link to my page: 1 minute
Link to me from Facebook, Twitter, your blog, Digg, etc.  You'll have to send me a link to your link so I know that you linked to me and so I can check out your site.  If you linked to me last time, you can do it again too.

Donate $5 to the Special Olympics to support my Polar Bear Plunge: 1 minute
If you're new to the blog or have been living under a rock, I'll be jumping into ice-cold waters on March 6th to raise money for Special Olympics Minnesota.  You can find my blog entry about it here

Again, just let me know if you did this so I can add it to my time.

I'll be on twitter on my phone the whole workout.  You can join me live on Friday at 4:00pm.

  1. Try a treadmill on an incline. That is a challenge workout. Even if you have to walk.

  19. I saw this on 344pounds.com, and I think it's a great idea. I'm not sure I'd put myself out there. However, I am adding one minute and thirty seconds (Comment + Twitter + RSS). I'm sending the e-mail now.
