December Exercise Challenge
 

December can be a challenging month, but let's finish 2012 strong!

State your goal and track it throughout the month with a supportive and knowledgeable group helping 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...challenge.html

I know its a little late, but its never too late to start. right? For the rest of December I want to exercise in some way everyday. Most days should be a run, or toning/resistance traning, but at the very least some floor exercises before bed. Anything. Just something. I need to get back into the habit and if it is not a choice of which days, then I think it will be easier. I can't put off till tomorrow what I have committed to doing today.
