January Exercise Challenge
 

Let's dance into the new year with determination for our exercise goals.

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: January Weight Loss Challenge

I want to step it up a bit for January, so I'm adding 100 minutes to my goal.

January goal: 1300 minutes, including 8x stretch + 8x ST

I've fallen off the wagon after two hard falls during outdoor walking/jogging in October and November.

680 min TOTAL

I will stick with my modest 600 minutes a month. I usually do youtube videos of cardio and/or weights. If I shovel snow, I usually count that at half minutes, unless it's very high intensity. Thanks for keeping us motivated, gardenerjoy!

So I jumped on the bandwagon early. No time like the present to start good habits. 2 miles on the treadmill (chest cold, couldn't breathe), 40 min beginners yoga video (darn I'm not flexible!). 74 minutes total

way to go etherbunny! It's so hard to make yourself do some sort of exercise when you have a cold!
and way to go gardenerjoy, for upping your already admirable goal!!

I found a 30-day yoga for weight loss video series on Amazon Prime. I think I'll do it every 2nd or 3rd day because I'm feeling it in my glutes after all the chair poses in yesterday's workout.
