Join us in July for our monthly challenge. What are your fitness goals this month? You're welcome here whether your goal is to walk around the block or run a marathon.

State your goal and track it throughout the month with this supportive group of fellow exercisers. We'll compile our exercise goals into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.

This thread is for fitness and exercise goals. For other weight loss goals, be sure to see our sister thread: July Weight Loss Challenge

So pleased with my progress last month, I’ve raised the bar once again. I’ve increased my miles by 5 miles and added another day for weight lifting. I’m going on holidays on the 30th of July so I’ve basically four weeks to make as many improvements as I can. I had my bathing suit on the other day and I actually feel alright in it! But looking a little slimmer for the beach would be better! Since my holiday runs into August, I’m going to give the August challenge a miss, but track it myself.

• 50 miles.

Last month I think I went a little goal crazy so this month I am going to Keep It Simple. My goal is 4 activity points daily. Last month I would go from 0 points one day to 10 points another day and I know that that is not really the way to go. I'm going to do the same as last month for my overall goal of 124 points for the month. Hopefully this month I can do it in a more steady way. Let's rock it!

I think my exercise goal is going to be over 100 miles of running for the month. That's around 25 miles a week which is quite doable for me. ETA: Also going to do pushups on odd days and planks on even days.

[minoja75]

My exercise goals are to complete the 30 day squat challenge, ab challenge and butt challenge. Gym and pool or beach at least twice per week.

Count me in! I'm raising the bar for myself as well. This month my goal is 100 miles in any combination of activities (running, walking, elliptical, etc.). However, my goal is to make most of these running miles. My bucket list includes a half marathon so I'm working toward this goal. Protecting my knees and ankle is my priority, though.
