Hi everyone. I had my hip replacement surgery one month ago and I'm looking forward to getting back into exercise. I have started physio and I'm walking with crutches at this point.

Feb goal: 400 minutes

Welcome, MrBadger and flower1! That's great that you're getting back to movement after hip replacement, flower1.

I'm changing my goals slightly to count sessions of strength-training and yoga because counting minutes annoyed me.

February goal: 1500 minutes, 15xST, 12xyoga

1: 30 dance; 30/1500
2: 55 dance, walk; 85/1500

Way to go, flower1! That's especially impressive given that you're recovering from surgery.

target: gym, sailing, climbing, walking - 12x total
current: 4x gym, 8x climbing - 12x total

hit my target with a few days to spare

I ran 6km today (not fast - 48m) which I'm pretty pleased with. I could have kept going, but I'm still working back up after some issues with my hip & I didn't want to over-stress it.

hope everyone else is having a good month.
