It's spring! An excellent time to sprout new exercise goals. On this thread, we set exercise goals for the month and track them together. See our sister thread, April Weight Loss Challenge for tracking the non-exercise goals that lead to weight loss.
I'll post a list of our goals as we set them at the beginning of the month. When you meet a goal, it gets turned red in our list.
I'm back after a couple of weeks rest following my accident. Three cracked ribs which will take six weeks to heal but I've been gradually re adding activities. Cardio is ok but resistance is a problem. Anyway, I'm gona try for 1200 this month and see how I get on!
I added up my exercise minutes from last month, and I was at 1000. So, my goal for April will be 1200 minutes. I also really am going to get new shoes and the arm strap for my iphone this month, I swear!
I lost track of my exercise last month, so my first goal this month is to track it! I'm also going to set a time related goal of 1000 mins this month, see how easy/hard that is to achieve and then I can make my May goal more challenging/realistic. A lot going on this month, so I don't want to set a challenge too high.
1) Log exercise for the whole month on here
2) 1000 minutes
My goals are simple:
1. Do C25K with my son (he wants to start running with me, so I agreed to train him) 3 days/wk
2. Add some kind of strength activity 1 day/wk
I finally bought the arm band for my iphone! Edit: And I'm going to return it, lol. I don't like the way it makes my arm fat look! And it will get in the way when I'm doing certain exercises (not sure why I didn't think of that before). I'll have to find a different solution.
