  • Finally feeling well enough to attempt w5d3, which is supposed to be a 2-mile run. Unfortunately I had to take a break in the middle to feed a hungry baby, but I ran more as soon as I finished, so I ended up running around 2.5 miles, just in two parts. I'm gonna count it as complete.

  • New here
    Hello! I hope you don't mind joining you in the middle of the challenge. I just finished the Forming new habits in 21 days thread and now I'll continue it here - a little less strict.
    My april goal is to excercise 25 out of 30 days. So far I used one pause day, so it's more like 17 out of 21 days now. For excercise to count it has to last at least 20 minutes.

    1. 20min cycling
    2. 20min cycling
    3. 20min cycling, 30min running
    4. Pause day
    5. 30min running (+walking while shopping)
    6. 30min walking
    7. 60min cycling
    8. 30min cycling
    9. 20min cycling
  • I have to work out the remaining 2 days of this week in order to hit my goal. For reasons beyond my control I had back-to-back off days so no room for error.

    April 7: 30 Day Shred Level 1
    April 8: OFF
    April 9: OFF
