January Exercise Challenge
 

Moving into 2022!

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 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Happy New Year!!
January goal: 800 minutes; exercise at least 12 days

My goal for January is to keep it simple for goals, not to go overboard with ideas and expectations, and anything extra is EXTRA CREDIT which I may do if I feel cooperative with myself, but is not required. :)
2 gym classes per week
1 rando gym workout per week
1 long walk or 20 min hill walk
25 pushups every morning
No hard feelings.

I am brand new here and not sure this is how the goals track.

chestnutchickadee: Track your goals in whatever way works best for you! I know that when I was new, I was inspired by how other people tracked their goals. So, feel free to experiment with different things until you figure out what's most motivating.

I would love to join!

I am easing my way back in after being inactive for a few months. I walk some but I need to get my endurance up for a MudOCR in April. I am doing a BB program and I am committed to working out either 6 days a week or completing 6 workouts in a week. So far I have finished 4 workouts and I am doing double duty today. Each workout is about 30 minutes so, I will be doing 180 minutes of exercise a week.

Gardenerjoy - congrats on achieving your exercise goals - very impressive!

Are you planning ahead for the short month of February? Here's our thread:

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

Way to go, flower1 and me! I've left myself with a challenge on the last day of the month. I need 70 minutes to finish my goal of 1600 minutes in January. That's close enough that I'm feeling pretty determined!

Edited 1-Feb-22: I did it! Did anyone else meet a January goal?
