Arrow September Exercise Challenge

Does weather improve where you live in September? That's a great reason for ramping up 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: September Weight Loss Challenge.

I'll join in this challenge too! I can't do anything high impact, but I will commit to 4-7 days/week at least 30 mins/day of something.
