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.
