November Exercise Challenge
 

Let's move our way into the holiday season -- walking, running, dancing, lifting, stretching -- whatever it takes!

State your 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. Join us for a great month of fitness!

This thread is for fitness and exercise goals. For other weight loss goals, be sure to see our sister thread: November Weight Loss Challenge.

My goal for November is 1400 minutes.

It would also be awesome to keep my streak of daily exercise going -- 103 days and counting!

I'm in again this month. My goal is 1100 minutes this time. :)

I'm in again. My goal this month is 2,000 minutes of exercise. That's a bit lower than last month, because I'm starting to get busier at work and I'll soon be at 60 to 70 hours per week...which doesn't leave too much time for other things.

Count me in! Wasn't completely successful with my goals last month so will try it again ;)

Goal: walk at least 20 min a day (brisk pace, to youtube vid suggested by my buddy here!) So....
Brisk Walk - 20 min a day EVERY DAY x 30 days = 600 min for November 2013

(Note To Myself: I didn't even begin to make my goal for October, but I have to keep in mind a personal Super goal level for me which is: 3x a week, double the walking for an added 60 min week x 4 week = 240 additional minutes for a "super goal" of 840 minutes for Nov!)

Edited to correct math error

600 minutes is my monthly goal Tracked daily, then subtracted at end of the week, then that result is the beginning of next week.

Starting:
0/600

Nov 1: 20min + 20min = 40
Nov 2: 20 min+20min*=40
Nov 3: 20 min=20
Nov 4: 20 min + 20 min=40
Nov 5: 20 min + 20 min=40
Nov 6: 20 min=20

Suzanne, we really are a lot alike! I see you share my amazing math skills, lol! (20 x 30 is 600 minutes dear. An additional 240 is 840. :D) Hey, I got your back, although notice that I dropped stating my goal in minutes altogether after messing up simple addition on just the second day last month, lol! :hug:
