I will exercise for comments

exercise Have you eliminated exercise because it interferes with your blogging schedule? Are you becoming a blog potato? If you can answer yes to either of these questions make an exercise pledge with me. Modify the pledge below to fit your preferences.

Blogger Pledge
I will exercise for comments.
Time Period: November 26 - December 31
Type of exercise: Walking/Running on treadmill
Pledge: 1 minute per comment, not to exceed 60 minutes per day.

So it's easy, every day I will check my blog for the number of comments received on blog posts that day. If there are 10 comments, I will use my treadmill for 10 minutes. You can support me by commenting on my blog or making your own pledge to exercise for comments. Let me know if you are pledging too, I'll be sure to visit to cheer you on.
Sunday, November 26, 2006, 11:13 AM: Thanks for your encouragement! There are 15 comments here and 2 on other posts since I've posted this. That's a grand total of 17 minutes. I'll go do those now and get them out of the way. That's not too bad, I can handle 17 minutes.

Well, good for you. Oops! Someone beat me to it, so here's your one minute to total at two.

I do my morning gym workout every weekday for one hour, so I am good. Interesting idea to keep you healthy mind and body.

Oh good golly miss molly! Would this mean I would have to ADD these minutes on to the 2-3 hours a day I ALREADY exercise? I think I'm going to have to pass on this pledge -- but I'm coming back to put MY two cents into YOUR exercise plan! (really I think this is a GREAT idea!) I hope you get LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of comments!

I think this is a great idea. If I could figure out how to put my eliptical trainer in front of my computer and be able to use it too, I would. Now that would be a great invention!

What a neat idea - and you can think of someone different every minute while you're exercising! lol! You should share this idea with lifehacker or something - it's great!

Uh oh! Do you realize what you're starting? A REVOLUTION! I'll play, too! Thank God you set a limit though; I don't think I could exercise for longer than 60 minutes at a time.

Cute idea!! Here from Melli's blog today. So, turn on that treadmill and go another minute.

If you have time, stop by my cousin Lynn's blog and wish her a happy birthday today. I'd love to shower her with comments!!

Oh, and does it count if I comment more than once? Does that mean you get two minutes from me? That doesn't seem fair somehow. Oh well! :)

I'm really impressed with your "campaign" for exercise and I'd like to join in on the bandwagon too. I can always use more exercise.

Happy TT and enjoy your extra minute of exercise today.

This is pretty cool!

I don't get enough comments to make it worthwhile at my blog (plus I'm in PT) but it's a very cool plan. I'll be checking in on y'all to see how you're doing!
