It's our annual MOVEmber challenge! How will you increase movement this November?

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

I want to achieve more variety in my exercise, but without losing the consistency that I've been experiencing. Here's an experiment. I'm going to set my minutes goal a little higher this month. My theory is that I will choose to do a video workout (yoga, pilates, or strength-training) a little more often as a way to meet that goal.

November goal: 2000 minutes

Hi Joy. I will join but I'm not going to set a minutes goal. Rather I will try to exercise 4 times from now until the end of the month. I finally have a date for my hip replacement surgery which will be right after Christmas - yeah!

Gardenerjoy: You have set a great goal for yourself.

[gardenerjoy]

Welcome, flower1! Yay for getting ready for the hip replacement.

Tabbycat here.
I had a hard fall in a parking lot in late Oct and am recovering from two fractures in my pelvis.
Hope to set a goal for some rehab-type work (stretching, recumbent bike w/o resistance) in December.

[MrBadger]

hope you're doing okay Tabbycat - get well soon x

[gardenerjoy]

Tabbycat: Wishing you a quick recovery. A rehab goal in December sounds like a perfect self-care plan. Good for you!

[MrBadger]

congratulations Joy, an exercise streak of over eight years is remarkable!

target: gym, sailing, walking - 8x total
result: gym x7, sailing x1 - 8x things total

not much sailing this month because the weather has been atrocious here. I thought I had been making some progress with my running, but I seem to have pulled something in my hip/thigh, so I'm off the treadmill for now, & off to see this physio this week.

[gardenerjoy]

Way to go, MrBadger! I hope that you and the physical therapist come up with a good plan to bring comfort and functionality to your hip.
