Spring into spring with energy and exercise -- join the April Exercise Challenge!

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: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html

Hi Joy! Thanks for starting the new thread.

In March, I was recuperating from some medical issues, resulting in a goal of 750 minutes. I'm starting to feel a bit better now, so I shall double that goal for April.

April goal: 1,500 minutes.

Hi gardenerjoy

I'm in for 15 min of movement 5x - 7x per week

April 1:
April 2:
April 3: 20 min/1 mile WATP 1/5
April 4: 15 min walk
April 5: 35 min walk
April 6:
April 7: 20 min walk

I'm still dealing with back pain (sheesh!) but I'm at the point, now, where I think lack of exercise is doing more harm than exercise would. I got 810 minutes last month, so I'm setting a goal of 1000 minutes this month and continuing my daily exercise streak -- it's been going for five months, now!

Goal: 1000 min, daily exercise

GardenerJoy - congrats on your daily exercise streak - 5 months of daily exercise is very impressive

April Goals:
1. 1200 minutes
2. 6 weight training sessions
3. plank - 15 days for April (I'm going to try to work up to holding the plank for 1 minute 45 seconds)

I met my minutes goal last month but was short 1 WT session so I'll see if I can get 6 sessions this month. I also want to add the 15 days of doing the plank for the month of April. I plan to start with 40 seconds and see if I can work up to 1 min 45 sec in 15 sessions.

Off to a good start…two brisk power walks…today’s active minutes per fitbit = 88

Apr 1: 40 min walk + 50 min walk

Total to date: 90 minutes
Goal: 1,500 minutes

I did not make my goal in March. I didn't even come close. I'm going to give it another go for April.

My goal will be 500 minutes any kind of exercise.

Thanks Joy! for keeping up this thread!

Good luck with your goals everybody! Let's make April Awesome!
