April 2022 Activity Thread

Well here we go again. Not impossible. At least I get 8 easier days!
Come on guys and girls. We got this!

I got COVID and failed last month so hoping for better luck this time. Interesting to see what difference that one failure makes - I had exercise minutes in February too, but 3810 then compared to this month’s 2890.

That's pretty intense (more than two hours a day in March)! Hope that the COVID didn't hit you too hard. I had COVID about a year ago and was pretty beat up by it and still can sense many smells. I had a similar challenge in March, 2080 minutes, that I completed with a total of 2480. This month I got this:

At least I'll get one day off.

Here we go again!

Still disappointed by the variety of mensual challenges, only got two types of challenge (minutes and distance goals) since the start of 2022 and for 4 months now.

Good luck everybody! You’ve got it!

Here is mine. I want to increase my weekend run distances this month since I plan on running the Air Force Marathon half marathon race (13.1 miles) in September, so this monthly goal will give me some additional incentive.

....wonder how it calculates everyone's challenges as the above are all different!!!!

🤔

LeT's Do ThIs!! My goal is easy cuz I'm an old fart and just starting out on a fitness program

While it appears that I'm on track, I recently started a new job and I have to be on-site 3 days/week, and the job location is 3-4hrs from home, so no regular workouts for half the week. so I will continue doing as much as I can but might not make this

Is that 3-4 hours round trip or one way? Either way that is a long drive.

Hey, can you ride your bike instead? That would give you a bunch of exercise...

one way, it's ~ 180 miles ... and eventually will relocate ...
well, with my mountain bike, no, I'd have to get new tires every month. besides, the way bikers are treated on the roads here in CA, I prefer to live a bit longer

A lunchtime walk might help. That’s 35-45 minutes. A quick jog before the drive. Another when you get home. You got this!

3,240 exercise minutes is my challenge this month. Excluding my rest days I’ll need to average 125 exercise minutes per day for 26 days. Of course that assumes no sick/injury/other days. Don’t see that happening as I do not change my routine to meet these arbitrary challenges.

In February I had to walk or run 392,3 km. I got that one on the last day. February of course was a short month, in April there are two more days…

This is a couple of dog-walks per day, so should be doable.

Should be doable... burn 35,900 calories this month.

After reading this thread I’m feeling better about the 13,900 target calories this month 🤣

So you know you’re committed to your months challenge when you are heading for bed and you notice you need to burn another 25 calories to hit your daily target.
Yup. Quick jog on the spot did the required!
Is it just me?

I might have done something similar. A few times. Maybe.

Not just you. Been there, done that. 🤫

That’s good. Now I don’t feel like the only loony! Just at my 200% now so no repeat for today.
