This is our monthly exercise challenge thread. All are welcome, whether your goal is to walk ten minutes a day or train for a marathon.
State your goal and track it throughout the month with a supportive group encouraging each other to meet our goals. We'll compile our exercise goals into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.
I'll be on vacation for part of month. I'll be walking a lot, but I don't want to count the minutes, so I'm going to set my goal lower this month to count the exercise when I'm not out of town.

I'm in for another 750 mins in May. Same goal as April only this month I'll be on vacation for a week+ (London!) and won't be tracking minutes during that time. Good luck everyone!
I'm back in. To make tracking easier this month my goal is to do 20 cardio and 16 strength training workouts. I'm also going to track my total minutes and would like to hit 1000 minutes.
