January Exercise Challenge - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

gardenerjoy · 12-29-2023, 12:50 PM

January is a great time for new goals and new structures to support those goals! How will you exercise in 2024?

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: January Weight Loss Challenge
