November Exercise Challenge
 

November is Movember in the November Exercise Challenge -- let's get moving!

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.

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

I'm going to stick with 1300 minutes for November.

Last month, I did 4 DVD workouts (after years of skipping them entirely). They really help me with variety, especially stretching and strength-training, so I'm going to increase that goal to 8 in November.

Hello! I used to be a consistent exerciser, even when overeating, and the benefits are so great. But I have slacked so badly. I would love to join to hold myself accountable. I do workouts that I find on youtube, plus the occasional DVD. My goal for November will be to do a workout of some sort, at least 30 minutes, 5 times a week.

Tabbycat here.

My goal for November will be 900 minutes of intentional exercise.

I have done some walking this week, 30 min yoga 2 times. 1 30 min abs circuit workout. So I need 3 more yoga, I more workout for the week! And more walking.

Vermontmom - I did the same thing the first couple of months I participated...I think it actually provides more accountability this way, and encourages you to post every day. At least for me. Great workouts, btw!

rebelle, MonteCristo, and VermontMom: Yep! It's fine either way. The process can be easier to edit the original post, but you'll miss out on the opportunity for interactions. And, I'll likely miss that you made goal unless you make a new post to say so.

I'm not quite on track to meet my goals, but close enough to keep plugging away at it.
