Arrow August Exercise Challenge

On to August!

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

I've been working on building up my endurance this summer. So I'm challenging myself to walk 10 miles for the month of August!

I've got COVID and I have a colonoscopy scheduled for next week (which might get rescheduled due to the COVID). So, I'm going to set a lower goal than usual for this month. I'm still determined to do something every day because my daily exercise streak is 7 years and 1 month!

August goals: 1400 min, 25x stretch, 10x strength-training

1: 10 dance, 15 stretch; 25/1400, 1/25 stretch
2: 15 stretch; 40/1400, 2/25 stretch
3: 15 dance, 15 stretch; 70/1400, 3/25 stretch
4: 15 dance, 15 stretch; 100/1400, 4/25 stretch
5: 15 dance, 15 stretch; 130/1400, 5/25 stretch
6: 15 dance, 15 stretch; 160/1400, 6/25 stretch

Tabbycat: It looks like we're both on track to meet our August goals. Yay!
