Arrow January Exercise Challenge

Happy New Year! Let's get 2026 off to a good start by setting and meeting goals for exercise.

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

02: 15 walk 15/400
04: 25 pool exercises; 20 walk (45 min) 60/400
05: 20 treadmill and 15 ST (35 min) 95/400
07: 20 treadmill; 30 water walking and pool exercises (50 min) 145/400
09: 20 treadmill (165/400)
17: 40 walk (205/400)
18: 25 water walking and pool exercises (230/400)
19: 35 walk (265/400)
