Thumbs up November Exercise Challenge

Let's make November, MOVEmber! What are you going to do this month for exercise? State your goal and track it throughout the month with a supportive and knowledgeable group. We'll help each other 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.

For other weight loss goals, check out our sister thread, http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...ml#post4514611

Since it looks like I'm going to meet my goal of 1600 minutes in October, I'll go for that again in November. I'm going to add in a strength training element by also challenging myself to do one of my DVDs that feature ST at least 15 times in November.

So my November goals:
1600 min
15xST

It is time for me to stop procrastinating with exercise and JUST DO IT. For November, I will be walking at a brisk pace for 30 minutes 5 days a week.That'll get me ready for the C25K which I'll complete during December and January. I will incorporate weight training as well, but I haven't decided on when and what I'll do.

11/1-11/7 - 0/5 walks complete
11/8-11/14 - 0/5 walks complete
11/15-11/21 - 0/5 walks complete
11/22-11/28 - 0/5 walks complete
11/29-11/30 - 0/2 walks complete

Total: 0/22 walks complete

I'm not going to set a goal in terms of # of minutes or days I'm going to work out so that I don't get disappointed, but I'm going to come here to the forum and "log" my exercise for accountability! Good luck today!
