We can walk, bike, run, jog, treadmill or whatever you wish. You may do one, or two or several.

    I'm new to the challenge as well. My goals for this month are:
    4x45 min h20 aerobics classes per week
    1x55 min zumba class per week

    (During TOM - YouTube yoga and stretching plus a 20 min walk on normal h20 aerobics days.)

    Right, sorted my targets for this month. I have a long term goal of doing a triathlon someday, but as I am neither a swimmer nor a runner (even less of a runner) I have a long way to go. I'm splitting my training into sections - and first up will be some strength training to get some muscle structure behind me, plus working on swimming technique.

    Goals as follows:

    Cycling - 60 miles
    Walking - 40 miles (includes anything above 1 mile showing on my fitbit)
    Swim - 120 laps
    Stronglifts 5X5 - 6 times
    Lindy Hop class - 4 times

    Total mileage - 100 miles.

    That's a lot of targets but the walking, dancing and cycling ones are the easiest for me to do.

    Hurrah for June!!!

    Going to do this again... May was a bad month for my goal. Since loosing our daughter in March the last couple months I feel like we are in the spin cycle. Been so busy and gone every weekend. My June goal is 150 miles. Moving from the spin cycle to the bi cycle!

    Me too, but I started working on running before swimming because I felt there would be a longer learning curve, for me, with running. (used to teach swim lessons ages ago, but never was able to run). Also, I don't live near a gym, so pools are less convenient; after some progress running, I'll use the momentum to pull me back into swimming.

    thankfully I have a pool on the way home from work which I can use depending on their club schedule (I hate that community/leisure centre pools aren't available all the time). I want to work on my technique so I can swim several lengths at once as think that will be the longest learning curve for me. The run thing is something I can do in the gym or anywhere at anytime - I aim to move onto c25k for running practice once I've finished this segment of training plan. I suppose what I'm imagining is that once I'm in a triathlon, it's not the end of the world if I have to walk to the finish line!!!!

    I have one goal: Walking-110 miles
    Last month I did 99.1 according to my accupedo pedometer. This was in about three weeks, so I'm sure I'll knock this out of the water. At the end out this month I'll add together my walked miles and update my status with the approximate number. The month after that I'll add a few more miles. I'll push myself a little farther each month.

    So I had planned 20 min of walking during my monthly visitor but did even better than I had expected. Sunday - 20 min yoga. Monday/Tuesday - 20 min walk away the pounds. Wednesday - 20 min Zumba and Thursday - 20 min Hip Hop aerobics. This is the first time in life I have done planned exercise during TOM! I'm back to the gym tomorrow for 50 min of Aqua Zumba, I missed my friends but glad I managed some activity.

    Have a good rest of the week folks.
