October Exercise Challenge
It's perfect exercise weather here in Missouri -- I hope it is for you, too! Whether you exercise indoors or out, whether beginner or expert, we want you to join our monthly exercise challenge thread.
State your exercise goals for the month of October here. They will be added to our goal list. When your goal is met, it gets turned RED in celebration! Track your progress all month long with a supportive and encouraging group to cheer you.
Our sister thread tracks non-exercise weight loss goals: October Weight Loss Challenge!
Join one or both threads for some accountability and support.

October will be a rebuilding month for me (to put a positive spin on September's exercise melt down). My goal for October is 1000 minutes of exercise.

I'm in! I have a medical procedure planned for mid-month that will preclude exercise for a few days, and so I'm going to set the same goals as last month: 20 days exercise and 100 miles (combo of any cardio). Hopefully I'll exceed that.

I will set a modest but attainable goal of 600 minutes of cardio. I need to make the exercise time a priority.

I'm going to change things up a bit this month. I've started enjoying running, much to my surprise. So the minutes goal worked against me. My goal for October is 45 miles of running/walking.

I haven't been around in a couple of months. Still at goal and maintaining. I'll join the challenge this month. Since I can't workout 5 times a week anymore (it causes me to go below goal), I'll try for 3 days each week. I'll just set my goal for 15.
10/01 - 1 mile run and 20 mins stairmaster (1)

I'll set my goal for 1200 min of cardio this month, which would mean going to my dance fitness class five times a week. I slacked off in September to more like 3x/week due to working lots of OT but I can't won't use that as an excuse anymore 
10/1 - 60 min
10/2 - 60 min (120/1000)

I definitely need an exercise goal this month as I see more movement in the scales when I exercise plus, I want to be toned and slim rather than wobbly and slim 
So, my goal is 600mins of exercise this month. In that I will include any time digging down the allotment as man that is tiring!!! And it uses a variety of muscles as my aching body is screaming at me right now!!!
So, to start this month I can chalk up 90mins already
90/600

October Challenge
Hello everyone, just starting out..my overall goal is 100 pounds. Since it is so hard for me to get started, I rather not focus on a number, but exercise instead. My goal:
To exercise 1000 minutes this month of October, that averages to about 32 minutes or so a day. Wish me luck!!
