Moving in November = MOVEmber!

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: November Weight Loss Challenge - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

My November plan is 1800 minutes (averaging 60 minutes per day), including 20 strength-training sessions and 25 stretching sessions.

gardenerjoy - your exercise minutes are so impressive. Congrats on passing the midway point on 2 of your goals, midway through the month. Also congrats on exercising everyday so far in November - very impressive! I'm going to try to be bit a bit more consistent with my exercise. I do a few days in a row and then don't exercise for 3 or 4 days again.

Tabbycat - you're doing great

flower1: My current daily exercise streak has been going since July 1, 2016. That's been helpful for me because it's just something that I do every day without question. On holidays, that's occasionally meant 10 minutes of stretching -- but that keeps my daily streak going. It's also made it obvious how to increase minutes over time. There's some common advice to increase exercise by 10%. By measuring minutes per month, that's easy. Although, any time that I'm over 1000, I increase by 100. My monthly amount goes up and down with occasional injuries and busy-ness. The 1800 minutes is my max -- I'm grateful for an injury-free year!

gardenerjoy - that's so impressive that you have exercised every single day since July 2016! I added interval training once per week into my daily walks which helps to increase my overall speed. My interval walks consist of a 2-3 min warm-up, then I do 2 minutes walk medium speed, and then 1 minute very fast. I alternate this pattern for about 30 minutes and then do a slow cool down for about 2 minutes for a total of about 35 minutes. Interval training is a very good way to burn fat and also to improve your cardio fitness. I also do interval training on the stationary bike which is a super great workout. I may add some strength training next month but for now my goals are to get back into working out and lose some of the weight I have gained.

flower1: That's great that you have intervals going with your walk. I did a bit of that earlier this year, but it got dropped somewhere. Time to pick it up, again. I definitely felt like it made the scale a bit friendlier.
