October Exercise Challenge
 

Rocking and rolling for our October workouts....

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: October Weight Loss Challenge

My goal is 16 workouts.

Tabbycat here.
I didn't make my September goal.
My October goal will be 600 minutes of intentional exercise.

Oct6: Hah! Just now getting going! 40 min in pool.
Oct7: 40 min in pool
Oct27: 40 min walk; 30 min exercise bike
Oct28: 45 min exercise bike, 50 min walk
Oct29: 30 min walk
Oct30: 35 min walk

Total Minutes: 310

I would like to join. 600 minutes of exercise for me this month

Active minutes didn't work well for me in September so this month I'm going to set a mixed goal of at least 7000 steps/day, weights twice a week, and cardio three times a week. Hopefully this'll be less rigid than active minutes.
