Since Bacon Slave has not posted, I am going to go out on a limb, and post this, as even though I didn't participate in the last month, I think these challenges are a good way to keep this group active. This is a cut and paste of 2024.

It's Active April, folks.

The word "active" is a loaded word.

Not only can it apply to exercise, but it can also mean "characterized by action rather than by contemplation or speculation."

Time to get fit or act on your goals, whatever they may be.

Increase your NEAT, do one of the bazillion YouTube vids and workout streaming services, hit the gym, enjoy the weather and walk or hike (whenever it's actually nice in the Spring, easier said than done!) And for non-exercise goals, start actively pursuing them as best you can with what you have to work with. Don't let "perfect" be the enemy of "better". Improvements, even if they're slight or baby steps, are still progress.

We can do this!

No need to make your "heart gargle in your throat." Unless that's what you're into.  Or to win all the life trophies.

Active April is about making your goal an improvement in your fitness or life. As Elizabeth Benton always says, "Whatever constitutes an improvement for YOU. Do that."

So whether you want to train for a 5k or 10k, sleep better, get more serious about logging, start HIITing your head off, or just start exercising, period, it's all good.

If your exercise is already on-point, but you'd like to increase your daily NEAT burn, that's a great target as well. (What is NEAT, consult this thread from which I have been inspired: 

Go ahead and post your goals.
