Arrow October Exercise Challenge

Let's rock October!

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

I'm going to try for 400 min. I have an appointment with my orthopaedic surgeon next week. I hope to get a date for my hip replacement surgery before the end of the year which should end my hip pain. My other hip was replaced several years ago and since then I've had no pain in that hip. I'm hoping for the same result again.

Oct goal: 400 min
