in Challenges
Here's the 24 hours challenge thread, Let's do it again!! And welcome to any newcomers!

The goal is to accomplish at least 24 hours of EXERCISE during the month. (MORE IS GREAT)

Any type of activity that you would log in your diary counts (both cardio and strength training) ~ walking, running, paddling, biking, swimming, gardening, weight training, dancing, HIIT, aerobics, elliptical, rowing, circuit training, stretching, etc. You get the idea.

For you BEASTS out there (you know who you are), if you want to do more, just post your personal goal that is over the baseline challenge goal.

And for anyone who wants to join part of the way through, just post a comparable goal to finish out the month (for example, joining half way through, post a goal of 12 hours).

There is no group for this and no private messages needed. No fancy spreadsheets either, just report your running totals here in the thread.

Happy Exercising!!

    Busy month!

    July 2023 55mins x 31 days
    = 28.4 hours

    Did a ton, but the last week sidelined by foot issues. Can’t get appt until Aug 18. Ugh don’t want to make it worse but do t want to stop exercising either

    @MadisonMolly2017 , I feel your pain, I had to take more frequent rest days in July as one of my hips hurts all the time, even hip stretches make it worse. I want to keep being active and fit for the next 30 years or so, so need to keep moving, just choose exercises which don't hurt too much
