April Exercise Challenge

  • Let's spring through spring!

    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
  • For the last several months, I've been tracking PT-style strength-training exercises on a spreadsheet. Last week, I finished working my way up to two sets of 20 reps, twice a week, for each exercise. Yay! I don't want to lose that but I'm also ready for some variety. So, starting this week, I'm going to alternate a week of my favorite YouTube strength-training program (
    ) with a week of my spreadsheet exercises. Plus, cardio and stretching to average 60 minutes a day in April.

    April goal: 1800 minutes including 4 long walks and 4 long yoga sessions
  • Hi Joy - Congrats on making your March goal! I made mine too and just recorded my March exercise minutes. Last week I started a line dancing class once a week for 5 weeks and it's a lot of fun. It's nice to add something a bit different to my routine.

    My April goal is 600 minutes.
  • Goal: 600 minutes
    03: 90 water walking/running/pool exercises (90/600)
    04: 45 line dancing (135/600)
