Thumbs up July Exercise Challenge

It's hot up here in the northern hemisphere, cold in the southern hemisphere. Let's encourage each other through our extremes to keep exercising.

Post your goal at the beginning of the month, track it throughout, and we'll celebrate our successes at the end. We keep a list of goals -- when one is met, it gets turned RED as a mark of achievement.

We welcome all kinds of exercise goals -- from baby steps to marathon training. For other weight loss goals, check out our sister thread, the July Weight Loss Challenge.

My goal is 1400 minutes total exercise.

I'm also setting a goal to do the Wii 15 times in July, because gardening isn't providing me with a varied enough exercise routine.

My goal is very simple:

Daily exercise of some sort for 30 mins, most likely it will be walking, swimming or wii fit.

I debated over this, looking at everyone else's goal - mine seems wimpy! But, I wanted to choose an attainable goal for me - hoping to set a new goal if I reach it before the end of the month.

July Goal: 600 minutes of exercise for the month.
