April Exercise Challenge
Spring into spring with energy and 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: April Weight Loss Challenge - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community |

I am trying to increase my steps.
I did barely any walking for the last 4 months so I have upped it this month and Im trying to do at least 5000 steps a day for the month to get me into the habit of doing it and then with a goal to increase it next month again. So I figured that 5,000 steps over the month (with one day off a week!) should be around 130,000 steps April 1 - 1,515 April 2 - 12,609 April 3 - 4,957 April 4 - self care day - didn't wear Fitbit April 5 - 5940 Total so far - 25,021 |

Everyone looks like they're doing really well with their exercise. As for me, I'm struggling to get myself motivated to get moving. I'm thinking of buying a Fitbit like LittleLostMe has done. Maybe that will help. The weather was very nice today and I managed to get walk in.
April goal: 400 min and exercise 11 days for at least 20 min per session 12: 40 walk (40/400); 1/11 days |
flower1: A Fitbit definitely helped me with motivation at one time. It turns getting steps into a game -- fun and motivating!

Gardenerjoy: Hopefully it will help with the motivation like it did for you. Fitbit will probably have a sale on for Mother's Day so I think I will buy one then.

I'm pleased to be at least half-way on all of my goals, at the half-way point of the month. I had to work for that in the last week, due to some lackluster days earlier in the month.
