October Exercise Challenge

  • October can be a beautiful month -- let's get out and enjoy it while moving our bodies.

    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: October Weight Loss Challenge - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community
