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.

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... o_O

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.

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. :cool:
