This is more of a self motivation challenge. To each their own, but for the entire month. Don't make it so challenging that it's not fun and don't make it so easy it's not a challenge. Mine is to lift weights 3x a week minimum with the hope of a minimum 30 minutes and maximum 1 hour with weights increasing only when they are not as hard. I have 3 sessions with a trainer so I don't get hurt

For October, I already have joined a 24 Hour/Month Challenge, a 60 Min Planks/Month Challenge and a Walk/Run/Move Challenge, but I really need something to be accountable to get more resistance/weight lifting in per week since I tend to be cardio heavy. I already do Stand Up Paddleboarding which really is mixed strength/resistance training and cardio, but the resistance part is a bit hard to measure and I feel like I need more, especially on weeks where I don't get to do as much paddling. This sounds like a good place to post for some more accountability with my resistance/weight training.
My goal is at least 2 days a week of Resistance Bands, Kettlebell or Body Weight Training on Monday, Wednesday or Friday. Right now, I'm less concerned about the amount of time as much as I just want to get consistent with doing it regularly.3 -
I'm also seeking consistency2

Count me in! My goal is the same as yours Jacqui. I want to weight train 3x's a week for the month of October.3

Hiii Jacqui!! Long day coaching today. We won 35-0 and are sitting at 4-1. Now on to the challenge. Weight training 4x a week. I don't log weight training. I don't like how my Garmin Vivoactive tracks it. Maybe I will mess with my fitness tracker a bit more. I started early this AM doing biceps, triceps, and forearms. Lets do it ladies and gents!!3

I'm in ..aiming for 3 strength training and 3 cardio sessions per week. My goal is consistency.

I am in. Brand new to this app and my new fit life to be. I would like to commit to hiking at least 40 minutes on 5 seperate days a week for this month. I have always loved hiking but it usually takes a back burner to other life stuff. I think this will be fun way to keep me moving more!4

Hiking is a splendid idea2

Weight training. Chest Upper and lower. Traps, and triceps. Calves as well. 4 days a week is the plan. Coaching Football eats up my time but making it work. Wednesday is targeted next visit. Oh yeah gonna have to increase Calories.4

Hi all!
I'd like to join as well. I need some motivation to be more consistent with strength/resistance training.
I think I already do enough cardio - a couple bike rides to work each week, and I love running. But somehow, even if I manage to run 4-5 times per week, I never seem to have time for strength training. I always find excuses...
My goal is to do the workouts from the YAYOG app (="you are your own gym", bodyweight exercises) at least twice per week; so a minimum 8 YAYOG workouts in October. Got stuck in week 3 or week 4 of the programme the last time I did it and then gave up, so I'll be starting over.
First workout's done - already on Monday, but my arms are still sore today! Guess that's proof that I need to do this more often
03.10.2016 = YAYOG week 1 day 1

Glad you made it safely through the storm! Glad we didn't get what GA/SC/NC got. Storm preps and aftermath are serious workouts.2
