Arrow July Exercise Challenge

Summer heat won't slow us down!

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

I'll join if I may.

gym: once a week
walking: 1 hour 3x per week

I joined a gym recently - I haven't actually been yet (it's PAYG so I haven't paid anything yet either ) - so the plan for the month is to start going once a week.

I also want to get out of the house & walk for an hour 3x per week.

By including time walking in the pool I met my goal.
I'd like to add a second goal of another 600 minutes.
