Everyone is welcome to join in! Here is the place to put all your fitness/exercise related goals for July! Any goal no matter how big or small is welcome anything that get’s you moving and closer to your weight loss goals! Be it just waking up a little early and doing just a little something for your body, to running around the block or taking a walk 3x a week, to x many minutes, to weight lifting. Heck even if you just want to make a habit of parking your car farther out in the parking lot, post it here! Everybody has to start somewhere, start here with us!

Exercise goals will be listed here, while weight loss goals, etc. will be listed in our sister thread, "July Weight Loss Challenge". (Stole that from Tummy Girl )

So without further ado, let’s get moving in July!

(I know, I need to think of something new to say :P)

[MeowMix]

I remember as a kid July meant the summer was almost over but it hasn't even felt like it's begun here in WA!! No matter I still plan to rock this not so summer like July!!

My goals are going to be pretty much the same as last month, workout 4 days a week, elliptical and yoga all 4 and the 30 day shred on 2 of those days with a minute goal of 1300. I also still want to work on getting my family out and moving more!! We did pretty good last month, going to the zoo, parks, walks etc so I'd like to continue that.

I'm joining the challenge. I need it. My exercise program fell apart in June because I started smoking again. But I'm back on the wagon & ready to repair my fitness plan. I don't have a goal in minutes b/c a lot of the exercise I do is stop/start. But I'm shooting for about an hour a day.

Aerobic exercise:

Running: 3x per week, so my goal is at least 12 sessions in July.

Strength training:

Bowflex/floor exercises: 2x per week minimum, so goal is 8 sessions.

Lifestyle exercise:

Biking- Bike to/from work & on weekends. Use bike as much as possible.
Walking- Every day (that's not hard, I don't have a car )
Dancing- Go dancing at least once a week. (For my health & happiness)

Ok folks, I'm ready for this... Smoke free in July

Thanks for starting another thread meowmix!!!!! I just wanted to say that even though I didnt workout as much as I wanted to last month seeing exactly what I was doing has been great.

My july goal is to workout more than I did in june. Id like to get 20 workouts in in july!!!! Lets go ladies

[Lewisempire]

Good morning ladies,
Thanks Meowmix for starting the thread, to me, it is imperative that I exercise. I love keeping track of it this way!

July goal:1000 minutes of intentional exercise

[LouisaH]

Thanks MeowMix!

I'm going to have essentially the same goal as last month. No more than one day off per week. I had only two days off for last month. I think that makes me queen of the universe. I might be wrong. I am trying to focus on doing at least three circuit training days in per week, and I may make it four, to try to increase my metabolism. This is all just so I can eat more.

[pinkprincess]

Meowmix, I will join all of you. I like LewisEmpires's goal so I'm going to copy a little bit but adjust for my abilities.

Week 1
My exercise goal for July is three fold. These are all things I have done before without a problem so I know that the only reason I wouldn't be able to obtain these goals is because I got lazy.

Firstly, I would like to attend the fitness boot camp I go to every day this month 1,320 boot camp exercise minutes]. That's five days a week. Second, I would like to add an additional 750 minutes of exercise to what I already do and lastly, I will take the five flights of stairs up to my condo every time unless my arms are full.

Thanks MeowMix for setting this up! Really helped me to motivate and stay on track last month. This month, I will try to finish the 30-day shred (July 1 = day 11), incorporate beginner yoga, and (most importantly for me) do any sort of exercise every day!

My official July goals are:

1. Daily intentional exercise;
2. 2000 min. cardio, 600 min. ST;
3. Yoga 3x/week; and
4. Finish 30DS.

My challenge is to build up my running to be able to do more than 10km by end of July. Most i've done recently is about 6.5km, so work to be done!
