Active April-fitness challenge
It doesn't have to be "killing yourself" fitness. Just whatever constitutes an improvement for you.
Whatcha think?

YES!! Great idea!!!!1
-
I like it, and I totally flunked in terms of keeping up with the March challenge, so I'm going to give it another go in April...maybe I can actually get some consistency with weekly tracking and reporting!!!2
-
I am absolutely in. Just have to decide the goals. Hit all my goals for March including 227 situps yesterday. So slightly worried about my obsessive approach to this. Need to do something on walking...2
-
Work is going to be starting the annual Walk 100 miles in 100 days challenge so I'll just combine the two.4

I skipped the March challenge, but I would definitely join in an April challenge (to give me accountability to get my lazy *kitten* back into the gym!).1

I'm in for walking again at my local track and treadmill. Nicer weather means more hikes and moving again.- Oh except for the snow storm predicted in the NorthEast tomorrow and Saturday. (grrrr)2

I dig it...I just need to think of some attainable & specific goals.1

Ugh, I hate exercise (I have been doing yoga once a week) but I really need to incorporate something into my life!
I will join the challenge with trying to reach 3, 30 min workouts per week. I know this sounds like a little but, but it sounds hard to me haha.2 -
I'll do it. I'm just starting keto and am going to drop my carbs averaging =<20/day next week for 30 days.0

I'm down! And so ready to succeed in this one compared to how I did in March =p0

Sounds like a reasonable and realistic goal to me. When I started my low-carb journey, I could only do 2 or 3 days a week. Eventually that built up to 5 or 6 days a week. Now I have guns and thighs of steel. Like I said, whatever constitutes an improvement for you.

Thanks Ive been able to loose 80lbs but still cant imagine getting into an exercise routine. Maybe I just haven't found something I actually enjoy! 0 -

It all started cause someone laughed at my "fitness burger in my mouth" joke There are a bunch of us on here with fitness goals and fitness means something different to everyone! I love this idea and thanks for starting the thread @baconslave
April is a BATSHIT month for me with work and personal travel and I will need every ounce of motivation and dedication out there to keep me on track!1 -
Yes please.

Meeeee tooooo! Fell badly on tracking March's challenge and on some days actually completing my challenge. Maybe I can do better on April's Fitness Challenge. Back to the pool to work out my sorry self.1 -
I'll try to be more present in April.
Cause April is also going to be Autoimmune April for me as well with supplements and food eliminations.
We'll help you, Lori-Sunshine!

Well, I think I'd like in too especially since I was thinking that I needed to set fitness goals again. I'm really really REALLY bad at sticking to stuff. I seem to give up about mid month.
I think maybe if I stick with getting a minimum 5k (steps) a day and shoot for 10k (steps) 3 times a week? Does that sound pretty idiot proof? 2 -

I'd like to be able to walk to my parents house and back by the end of the month, it's exactly 6 miles, I have sideways kneecaps and need surgery so I'm working up to getting to my parents house and back.2 -
I'd like to set the goal of walking every day.

Sounds great! My goal is to complete C25K. I have exactly 4 weeks left, so it's a perfect fit.1
-
I really like that one about 100 miles in 100 days. I will make it metric and add a bit, so 200 kilometres. Plus I want to hit a goal for 40 push ups.2
-
In March, I did a total of 517.5 kms on my bike (currently indoors on a trainer.)
For April my target will be to hit 540 kms total.2 -
After working to control my BG for so long but still having it higher than I would like, I think I may need to actually reduce my activity. Doc (and he is a good one) believes the primary driver is cortisol and I am over-stressing my system physically causing it to remain elevated.
Am I allowed to join if my goals are to limit my exercise after decades of possibly being a bit too obsessive about it? Since I am in maintenance at weight, the big challenge will be to reduce intake to counter reduced output.2 -

It's improving your "fitness." Just in a different way. I'm cool with it.1 -
Fitness goals:
- 2 exercise sessions per week (current line up is Zumba, Aquacise and Circuit training).
- Commute to or from work on my kick scooter at least 3 times per week.
- Get my steps up to 10000 daily.
However I'm going to add an extra one for if/when I get a flare up:
- Put my body and joints above all other fitness goals and accept that it's okay to have a sofa day
