  • Let's rock August!

    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: August Weight Loss Challenge
  • Signing in for this month! Hoping to do either a structured workout OR free-form exercise, which can sometimes be 'just' lawn work.
  • Tabbycat here.
    I barely made the modest July goal (on the final day)...
    I'll stick with the modest 600 minutes of intentional exercise.
    It's back to school for Texas teachers on August 12.
