Arrow July Exercise Challenge

July is bursting with energy for 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: July Weight Loss Challenge

I'm going to increase my strength-training goal a bit. I'm about to finish a "30-day" program that I've been working on all year in fits and starts. I want to repeat it to see how fast I can do it. I don't think I want to do it in 30 days because my body needs a bit more recovery than that from some of the harder workouts, but I suspect I can do it in less than 60 days.

July goal: 1400 minutes, including 25x stretching and 15x strength-training

Thank you for keeping us motivated, gardenerjoy!

My modest goal is to do something every day that tasks my body, and maybe just stretching on the days that it is too hot or I am wiped out.

July 01 - Pahla B. Standing cardio/balance, 25 min.
