24 Hours of Exercise per Month Challenge - APRIL 2020

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

Hi everyone! I've been meaning to join this challenge, and I'd like to give it a try in April.
I currently workout about 1 hour each week day, plus a long run on Saturdays, so I'll set my goal for April for 30 hours.
April 1: 47 minutes (3 mile run + 10 minutes of glute strength2 -
Hello, I'd like to join, too!
I've started German Body Recomp a couple of weeks ago and am on a 7day plan:
German Body Comp https://coconutsandkettlebells.com/german-body-comp/
7-Day Plan: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/conditioning-workout-for-women.html (3 weight, 3 cardio, 1 walk)
As long as we're allowed to walk/run/bike outside, 30hrs a month should not be a problem (I just checked how much I did in March).
Have a sporty and healthy month, everyone! 🌻🙌🙂2 -

(Blame it on my husband, he runs that long. I prefer more intense runs and usually don't have that much time to spend for a training session. However, kids came along 🚴♂️, so win-win.) P.S. Hubs doesn't know of this challenge!
