  • Marching into March! Let's rock this!

    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

  • Since I met my goal of 1200 minutes including 20 strength-training and stretching routines in February AND
    Since March is a longer month,
    I'm going to increase my goal by a little bit:
    • 1300 minutes
    • 20x ST or stretch
  • GardenerJoy February's Exercise challenge was very helpful for me. I was much more consistent with my exercise. For March, I will be exercising daily, alternating between strength and cardio, with a once a week break (probably on Fridays).

    3/1 - 30 mins elliptical
    3/2 - 9,500 steps
    3/3 - Rest Day
    3/4 - Arms Strength
    3/5 - Abs and cardio
    3/6 - Lower body strength and cardio
    3/7 - Rest Day
    3/9 - Arm Strength and Cardio
    3/10 - 30 min walk and 10,000 steps for the day
    3/11 - none
    3/12 - 2.8 mile walk around nearby lake and 10,000 steps for the day
    3/13 - 30 mins Arm Strength and Elliptical

  • I'm going to be brave and increase my goal from 600 to 800 minutes a month. For me, that means instead of averaging a 30 minute workout 5X a week, upping to a 40 minute workout 5X a week. Hopefully my majority of minutes will not be shoveling!!

    March 01 - 33 min. Shelly Dose cardio/light weights = 33 min.
  • My goal is working out 27 times. For this challenge, a workout = doing one of my workout dvd's.

  • ETA - I've decided to take a break from officially "dieting" so I won't be participating this month. I intend to keep exercising and eating with moderation, but I don't want to focus on counting and tracking. Good luck to you all with your goals.




    I'm going to try and stretch myself a bit. Going for 1500 exercise minutes in March

    TOTAL: 45 / 1500

    03/01/17 - 45 minutes (BBB1)

  • Joy Can I ask a big favor? I am so sorry to put you to extra work but again I have been debating my workouts. THings are going to get crazy busy for me very soon so this is the month for me to crank! I would like to set a goal of 1400 minutes, I have to do Leslie Samsone workout at least 3x a week and increase my steps from last months average! Again, I so apologize for any inconvenience and as always, I thank you for the time and all that you do!

    I am concerned that April ,or sooner, will get so extremely busy for me that I wont be able to hold up with formal exercise, and thus, no time like the present!

    With that being said, onto another workout I go! lol Thank you again so much! Let's keep it rocking ladies

    My goal is to walk at least 60 minutes a day (everyday), 45 minutes of zumba (4 x a week), and 30 minutes of cycling (4 x a week) and mix in 30 minutes of weights 4 (4 times a week). Woohooo! Been doing this for the past 5 weeks and went from a size 12 to a size 8.
