Readers Workouts — goals for June
Welcome to Readers’ Workouts, the weekly event where book lovers share workout stories, goals, successes, and challenges.
I was 65 minutes short of meeting my goal of 1500 minutes of exercise in May. I just didn’t get enough minutes in during that last week with all of the Armchair BEA activities. Since June is a shorter month, I’m setting a goal of 1400 minutes. That should be achievable and I’m off to a good start.
How did you do in May? What are your exercise goals for June? For Readers’ Workouts, talk about your fitness activities on your blog (feel free to grab the logo) and link to your post below or join us in the comments! Be sure to visit the other participants to see how we all did.
Just got back from one trip and already planning the next. In the meantime, I’m planning my workouts for June, based on my current schedule which could very well change after this week. We’ll see. I’m optimistic regardless, which is good.
I asked my instructor for some hour-long karate lessons so I can get this 2nd degree brown belt test DONE. It’s going to be an interesting few weeks and my goal is to get 2nd brown by the end of summer. It’ll be my 6th belt out of 8, where the 8th belt is 1st degree black. All I need to do is be pattern perfect on 12 display forms (kata) and 60 self defense techniques…
That’s an exciting goal!
I have no idea why my listing put Beyond the Borders. It must still be autofilling in from Armchair BEA.
Fixed it!
Good luck on meeting your minutes for June!
Heather posted about using kettlebells and that made me think I need to pull mine out and use them. That’s why I love Readers’ Workout! Everyone’s posts give you inspiration and ideas!!
Over 1400 minutes of exercise in a month is nothing to sneeze at — good for you! Fingers crossed for you to hit your June goal!
This is such a great idea. I got a Fitbit and it motivates me to move. I have a pretty active job so it isn’t very hard to hit 7500 steps by the end of my workday. The Fitbit motivates me to go those extra steps and hit 10,000. And I do it while listening to an audio book. Win-win.
I love my new FitBit, too. I’m usually aiming for 7000 steps since a lot of my exercise happens in the garden in the summer time and it’s more squatting and stretching than steps. I want to establish a 10,000 step habit next winter.
I don’t really do goals well. I did just order one of those mini-pedal things. I’m hoping it will fit under my desk at work so I can move during the day instead of just sitting here for 7 hours.
My daughter’s schedule is a little different with school being out. I’m still trying to figure out how to fit in my exercise time.
It always takes longer than I expect to re-establish routines when the schedule changes a little. I hope you get it figured out!
