February Exercise Challenge
Let's give ourselves some love with exercise that invigorates, energizes, and relaxes. We all deserve that in February!
State your exercise goals for February and then track them here for support, encouragement, and camaraderie. When goals are met, we turn them RED in celebration. You know you want to see how great your goal looks in red!
We have a sister thread, February Weight Loss Challenge, for weight loss goals. Join one or both and have a wonderful month!

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!
