November Exercise Challenge

[gardenerjoy]

Let's make November the month of MOVEmber! We'll MOVE into the holiday season in great shape! Please join us on this month's exercise challenge thread.

Our sister thread tracks non-exercise weight loss goals: November Weight Loss Challenge!
Join one or both threads for some accountability and support.

I want to push things up a level. I was actually in better shape, in some ways, at 190 than I am now at goal weight because I had more of a mix in my exercise routine. So, two goals this month:

1300 minutes
8 workouts with the Wii or a DVD

[miatutu]

I'll join you. I have been working out everyday, but I know with the holidays, and family visiting this month, and the kids being off on school break will definately throw a wrench in my workout schedule. My goal for this month is

900 minutes of exercise
to walk at least 90 miles this month.

That is 30 minutes a day and 3 miles a day. If I stick to what I am doing now, I should make it or possibly do more.

Hello everyone! I was a late joiner last month, but I did get in all my workouts. This challenge really pushed me. I love it! I'm still keeping with my same workout schedule Monday through Friday with a few minutes more of arms and abs added in afterwards for good measure.

Once again, I'll add a little red heart (♥) after I complete each days' workout.

Good luck to everyone!!!

My goal will be 400 minutes of cardio. That seems laughable compared to the goals of others, but it will be more than I was able to complete in October.

[chickadee32]

Tabbycat, NO goal is a laughable one. Striving for any goal is worthwhile. Glad you're joining us for November!!


I'm in, and will shoot for the same goals as Sept and Oct (since I really had to push to meet them at the end of both months!): 20 days of exercise and 100 miles of running/walking/biking/whatever (any dedicated exercise for which I can track mileage).

[Losing4another]

Tomorrow marks one month back on plan .. I put all my attention into keeping track of what I ate last month..Now that I have keeping track of what I eat down to a habit it's time to start moving...Starting slow @ one mile a day for the month of november.. Thirty miles in November is my goal.. I'm excited to have a goal that the scale isn't in charge of

[paris in 6]

I made up a personal challenge for myself, but I figure I can keep track of it here! My idea was that on NO day in NOvember would I say NO to exercise. Ha! So silly. Seriously though, I'm a beginner where exercise is concerned, and I just need to commit to doing something every day. That could mean a walk, a dvd, a mix of jumping jacks/push ups/crunches/lunges... Just some exercise daily.

I've lost six pounds in the last three weeks without exercise, but I know the exercise will help keep me motivated and accountable.

Thanks for the challenge!

Forgot to mention, day 1 of 30 is completed. I did a 10 minute Zumba intro and a 20 minute class (kind of random, but it's something!) plus 5 squat thrusts. The squat thrusts nearly killed me and really underscored how out of shape I am!

[SBD Sass]

To miss ZERO days is always my goal! Sat. & Sun. are my rest days. Let's go!!

Days Missed So Far: 0

[chickwithagoal]

My goal is to do some sort of exercise daily, either a run, a walk, 30DS, or a fitness game on the xbox or wii.

Today I already took a 3 mile walk, so here's to being off to a great start!

Happy November everyone!
