Let's move in the Merry Month of May! Join us this month, and every month, to track your exercise goals.

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: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html

This is my first attempt at this....so I am going to make 1500 minutes my goal for May!!

I'm going to join the 1500 min club, plus do arms 3 x a week, don't want to lose my teeny muscles

1500 mins + arms 3x/week

Thanks Joy, this challenge really makes me focus on getting in my exercise on those days I feel like skipping!

Hmm.... maybe if I hold myself accountable to someone other than myself, maybe I'll get my butt moving more. This cold, wet spring has been hurting me in the exercise department!

Goal for May is just to do something EVERY day - no matter how big or small - just to promise to do SOMETHING! Unlike today where I'm acting like a slug! I will keep track with my body media fit. Steps and activity minutes. Aiming for minimum 8000 and 45 minutes.


Steps. Active movement time.
1. 8,303, 1:01
2. 16,403, 2:07
3. 8,064, 0:45 (It didn't count my 1.5 hours of yard debris pickup as exercise - I beg to differ!)
4. 8,107, 0:43 (only because I promised to do something every day did I actually go out and take a walk after being gone most of the day).
5. 10,167, 1:19 (mowing super tall grass)
6. 3,758, 0:14 (So much for doing something every day. I had a lot of online work to do)
7. 8,025, 0:57 (made myself take a walk in the evening!)
8. 5,688, 0:18 (errands all day, but no time for a walk! Grrr!)
9. 7,884, 0:40 (a short walk and errands)
10. 3,436, 0:00 ( was standing ALL day for an art project, but not walking).
11. 10,104, 1:09 ( teaching and a walk)
12. 4,090, 0:19 (laundry doesn't make you take many steps!)
