Strong is the new skinny September exercise challenge
 

:carrot: OK here we go! The holidays will be here soon. Now is a good time to incorporate a little fitness into our lives. The weather is cooling off so enjoy a walk, hike, run or ride. Try a little Zumba or Pilates to get ready for holiday dancing. Whatever you decide a little movement goes a long way. :carrot:

Jekel, I hate the word skinny - skinny is ugly so I'm on board for strong.

I've just renewed my gym membership so here's my schedule:

Last month's goal was 6 out of 7 days; I made that 3 of 4 weeks and 2 of those weeks it was 7 days.

I just purchased a rebounder and my goal is to use it for at least 30 minutes every other day, alternating with a kettle bell workout (22 minutes of workout plus another 10-15 for warmup, cooldown, and stretch) the other days, for 6 days a week. I've been at the kettle bell for over a week now and my husband says that key areas are starting to feel a bit firmer :)

As I'm training for a race, I'm going to run 62.5 miles this month!

I'm in. Overall goal is 1500 minutes with weights, hoop, and yoga at least once a week.

I have to confess that I stole the idea of the monthy exercise challenge and brought it to my forum. Last month we only had 2 participants (myself included, LOL) for most of the month.
