Here's the 24 hour challenge thread for AUGUST. 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 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 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!!

Last month's thread is here for examples on how to log your info:

    I'm in! I'll be starting from almost zero, and I have an injury, so I'm not going to be getting ripped or anything, but I need to start logging my activity and setting intentions. Unfortunately I broke my toe a few weeks ago, so walking (my favourite exercise!) is out for the first couple of weeks. Any ideas on what kind of activities I can do from home without putting weight on my right foot would be very welcome!

    Total determined! I'm trying to equal or surpass 79 hours! (And tomorrow being a religious fast day, I don't think I'll be doing much more than the 20 minutes of walking to and from synagogue...)

    I'm slow out of the gate this time, because today was a fast day on the Jewish calendar and we're talking total fast, not even water allowed. So under those conditions?

    20 minutes walking (to and from synagogue).

    August total: 20 minutes
