I overshot my goal to do 8 video workouts in January. And I have a brand new video series (Slim in 6), so I think that will take care of itself without a goal devoted to it. So, my goal for February is simple.

1300 minutes

My goal is to excersise atleast 30 minutes, 2 days a week. I'm going to start small, and slowly build myself up to more. Instead of starting out huge and burning out.

Last month I went for 1000 and went over my goal and hit 1170. So, this month I'm gonna step it up to 1300 minutes.

Feb 1 - 60min - Zumba
Feb 2 - 60 min - Boot Camp
Feb 6 - 60 min - Boot Camp
Feb 7 - 60 min - Boot Camp

Total: 240/1300

I've also decided to sign up for a 5k at the end of March, so my goal for February is to be able to jog 1 mile without stopping. I have never been a runner but I am determined to do this. So, I now have 2 goals - 1300 minutes and 1 mile jog. I will test my jogging on Saturday or Sunday as I'm not sure what distance I'm currently able to reach without stopping.

I'll be on bed rest for a few days starting Friday, and then only light activity for a week or so after that... so my goal is going to be a slim one this month. I'm going to try to get a total of 15 days of exercise, and we'll see how that goes.

Thanks for continuing to do this thread, gardenerjoy!
