July Exercise Challenge - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

gardenerjoy · 06-27-2021, 08:35 AM

We're exercising with July's explosive energy!

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

Welcome, brwneydgrl5, flower1, and Tabbycat!

Who else wants to jump in? I'll compose our goal list in a day or two, so there's time to be part of our initial list.

flower1 · 07-07-2021, 01:39 AM
