February Exercise Challenge
 

Let's get our heart rates up for the month of Valentine's Day. February is a great month to celebrate our healthy hearts!

State your exercise 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: February Weight Loss Challenge.

xRiotGirl, Love your "Gonna ace it this month" feeling. Hope it's contagious!

Joy,, Thanks for leading the way. Heathier hearts for All! :val1:

My goal for the short month of February is 1200 minutes, including 8 Strength Training sessions. I also want to pay more attention to my step count, so I'm going to aim for at least 21 days with 8k or more steps.

2/1-80 mins 4.14 mile walk 80/1400 (+30)

Count me in please :)

I do not know what I will do for strenuous exercise for sure but I will look into getting into a gym. I will be very busy with many things around here but the strenuous work has been done and I think a gym would be best choice for a strenuous workout which includes lower body.

There are three gyms in the closest town, only 7 miles away. Unfortunately though , all three of them are women's only :) Believe that?? LMAO

Anyway, though it is a 32 mile round trip I will try to join one in the second closest town which is smaller but has three gyms in it which are available to all. I need lower body workout and swimming will do. I will find something along with swimming. It would be nice if I can make it there twice or more a week.

That along with what I have to finish getting done around here plus work should do it. (I bet I climbed a six foot ladder 100 times the past two days while working. That ought to count for something. :)

Goals: 1200 minutes including 8ST sessions, 21 days of 8k steps

Okay guys, step 1 towards completing my secondary goal...complete! I downloaded the Couch to 5K app. Just need to wash off my muddy trail runners and will start this week. I will, I will, I will!

Seems like my minutes goal mostly lines up with the program, too, so that's good. It looks to be about 30 minutes 3x/week, though I do want to keep up with strength at least once a week, too.
