December Exercise Challenge
 

Let's de-stress during the festive season with exercise!

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: December Weight Loss Challenge.

I am going for 20 videowalks to Leslie Sansone again. That seemed to work out just right for me in November. Thanks Joy! :D

I am going to have a very aggressive goal for December. I slacked off all November and need to make up for it :)

December Challange
 

Hi All I am new here but would love to get in on the decemner challange.

Goal
week 1 to do some sort of exercise for 20 minutes 3 days a week
week 2 to exercise for 20 minutes 4 days a week
week 3 to exercise for 30 minutes 4 days a weeek
week 4 not to blow my diet out of the water over christmas and exercise 3 days for 30 minutes.

I need to get on track and lose some of this weight! I can't wait to see how far we all come

Dec. goal - 30 mins. of an activity (i.e. Exercise bike, treadmill, exercise video, hike) 26 of the 31 days of Dec.

By the end of December I would like to finish week 7 of C25K

I have struggled for the last 6 weeks or so. In particular in November. I reached none of my goals. I'm going to set one goal for myself for December. I really want to get back into the swing of things, get my eating back on track and my exercise and going to the gym. My new job is proving to be so difficult to work around. My only goal will be to finish my 800 miles in 2013 - 75 miles to go. Anything else I will do will be a bonus.

December:


1: Gym workout - 5.55 miles & 2 miles walking. (Total miles:7.55/75 miles)
2: 2.5 miles walking. (Total miles:10.05/75 miles)
3: 2.5 miles walking. (Total miles:12.55/75 miles) Tonight, after work I was going to go to the gym! Had so much motivation and planned it since Sunday but since then I've developed an awful cold and sore throat. Hope I'll start to feel better, I've plans during the week and weekend!
