in Challenges
Here's the 24 hour challenge thread for April (no fooling). Let's do it again!! And welcome to any newcomers!

The goal is to accomplish at least 24 hours of exercise during the month of April. Any type of activity that you would log in your exercise 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 hosses and hossettes 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!!

    My goal is 36 hours again this month.

    Will be a bit more challenging with no Amazing Race this month and I've got a few races, which means my weekend paddles, while more intense, will be shorter than normal.

    June 2016 - 33:41
    July 2016 - 26:58
    August 2016 - 24:45

    October 2016 - 41:00
    November 2016 - 36:57

    I'm a newbie to this challenge, but I love <3 challenges with specific and attainable goals!

    I also like odd numbers, so for April my goal will be 27 hours. If I exceed that number I will set a higher goal for May.
