July Exercise Challenge

  • How will you cope with hot weather and exercise in July?

    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 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

  • target: gym, sailing, walking - 8x total
    end: sailing x2, gym x4 - 6x total

    I didn't quite hit my goal, but I (mostly) ran 5km at the gym each time & until a couple of months ago I hadn't done any running in 10+ years,so I'm pretty happy with that.
  • That's great that running is working for you, MrBadger!
