Crisp apples and crisp nights and bright days for exercise. Let's make the most of September!

State your exercise goal and track it throughout the month with this supportive group of fellow exercisers. We'll compile our workout 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: September Weight Loss Challenge

Thanks for starting the new thread!
In July I did about 65 miles, and it'll be around 62-62.5 for August. I'd like to see 70 in September, so that'll be my goal.

Hmm, goal, what shall you be? I've gone with 18 workouts the past couple of months, but I'll be away on vacation for 9 days this month. So I'll adjust my goal to 13 Beachbody workouts. I'm thankful for this challenge because even though I'm back in the exercise habit, this challenge kept me on task several days in August when w/o it I would've just skipped the workout. to Joy and her challenges!

Hello All

For Sept Id like to get more HIIT workouts in 3/4 times a week. Good luck everyone!

[EagleRiverDee]

I'm in. My goal is to work out 3 days a week. So 12 workouts. That seems really modest but based on how I was this past August, I think I need to keep my goal pretty modest. Any type of exercise will work for me.

[Wendiendi]

I wear a tracker that automatically adjusts, so I want to get it back up to 10,000 steps a day. I sit all day at work and barely leave my computer. THIS IS SO HORRIBLE! I also want to make it to the gym at least 2 times a week for some strength training. Starting small!

3: 40 walk; 125/1200

[EagleRiverDee]

I haven't yet been able to do a "traditional workout" but I've been working hard the past 3 days and based on my step count and level of soreness it might count as a workout? We're working on the new house to finalize stuff to get it ready to move into, so I've been flooring, working on the deck, stuff like that. It's a 3 story house, so I'm getting a ton of stairs in.
9/2- 16K steps, 37 flights of stairs

We're at 9.4 miles so far for the month. It's going to be an incredibly busy month so I won't be checking in daily like the last two months, but I will check in periodically.
