May Exercise Challenge
 

The merry month of May is a great time to exercise!

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: May Weight Loss Challenge

Since I met last month's goal I'm going to increase my May goal by 100 minutes.

My goal for May - 1100 minutes of intentional exercise plus the bike 4x.

I met my 1100 minute goal in April, so I'll try for the same in May! I'll update this post with my progress like last time.

May 1: 120 minutes (980 remaining)
May 2: 90 minutes (890 remaining)
May 4: 90 minutes (800 remaining)
May 7: 90 minutes (710 remaining)
May 9: 90 minutes (620 remaining)
May 10: 90 minutes (530 remaining)
May 14: 90 minutes (440 remaining)
May 16: 90 minutes (350 remaining)
May 18: 90 minutes (260 remaining)

I have two goals this month:

(1) 13 DVD workouts.
(2) At least 6,000 steps on workdays. (I use my phone to track, so that total doesn't include the steps I take at home before and after work. For the past month, I've been making an effort to walk more while at work. Even with that effort, the highest I've had has been 4,700 steps. :o So I really want to bump that up!) ETA: I'm changing this to an average of at least 6,000 steps for each workweek.

This month's goal is 850 min exercise!

I didn't make it to 500 minutes in April, but I will try again in May!
