January Exercise Challenge
 

Happy New Year! Let's get 2026 off to a good start by setting and meeting goals for 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: January Weight Loss Challenge

In 2026, my goals for each month are 1800 minutes including four long walks and four long yoga sessions.January goal: 1800 minutes including 4 long walks and 4 long yoga sessions
