Thumbs up April Exercise Challenge

No fooling around here, we're serious about our exercise goals! Whether it's to walk a mile or run a marathon.

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. Join us for a great month of fitness!

This thread is for fitness and exercise goals. For other weight loss goals, be sure to see our sister thread: April Weight Loss Challenge

It looks like I'll meet my exercise goals in March. April is a day shorter, but I think I'll take on the same challenges, anyway:
  • 1300 minutes
  • 8 Strength Training sessions
  • 21 days of 8000 steps or more

St. Patrick's Day is now behind me, so I'm going to dial back the dancing goal a bit and up my cross training.

April goal: 900 minutes dance, 500 minutes cross training

I'm joining in!
Over the past couple of weeks, I've begun to get back into exercising and fitness.
I've mostly been building up stamina with jogging, which is slow, but it's not something I really want to pursue because of knees. Once the weather gets nicer, I'll be back on my bike though, so I hope to go for rides a few times a week.

Otherwise, I plan on rotating through different crunches, sit ups, planks, lunges, and other similar exercises to tone muscle all over. Hopefully by the end of the month, I'll be totally jacked

So, I guess my goals are:
-Continue jogging until I can easily run 2 miles
-Bike 2-3x a week
-Do some sort of muscle-toning exercise 6 days a week

I am going to go easy this challenge as our February stopped my exercise.

800 minutes divided by yoga/walk-running and walking. I may start resistance training.

My goals this month are:
-Jog a 5K!
-500 gym minutes

I am registered for 2 upcoming 5Ks...April 18th and May 2nd! I am going to try very hard to complete the April 18th one running the whole thing, but I still have a few weeks left in my training (and I'm only currently running just over 2 miles) so I know it's a stretch. I'm feeling very positive about the May 2nd one though It's going to be a busy month!

Thank you, working! Now if only I can meet my calorie goals as well I may lose some weight instead of continuing to gain.
