February 2026 Exercise Challenge

[Twilight Sparkle]

Welcome to the February 2026 exercise thread. We don't have a theme this month, but feel free to share Disney memes, images, trip photos, quotes, etc. if you feel like doing so!

If you’re returning, we’re excited to have you back! If you’re new, welcome to the team! Here’s how it works:

Each person chooses a time goal and posts minutes towards that goal as they exercise. You can post daily or just catch up when you can. You decide what movement counts towards your goal - which can be a nice round total for the month, a specific number that means something to you, or a calculation based on a target number of minutes per day. Since February has 28 days, here are some common conversions:

15 minutes/day = 420
20 minutes/day = 560
30 minutes/day = 840
45 minutes/day = 1260
1 hour/day = 1680

One of the special motivations of our Disney challenge is color changing!
Page one will be updated with individual and team color changes as we make more and more progress:

10% - Blue
25% - Orange
50% - Purple
75% - Pink
90% - Red
100% - Green

We’re officially starting this challenge on February 1st (but really the 5th!), but if you don’t find the thread until later in the month, you’re still welcome to join! There's no better time than the present to start toward your goals!! Just post your goal and I’ll add you to the list. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions and to check out old threads to see what’s been going on.

It's possible I am underestimating my ability this month, but I'm just going to go for 1680 this time. Life is kind of all out of sorts at the moment, so I don't know how to plan things out. Just kind of being Dory for the time being!



320/1680 - horses, tai chi, yoga

I just hate setting goals because I don't ever reach them. And if I do, then I stop when I reach the goal. So just changing a lifestyle. Hoping to walk 15 minutes per day. That's a mile a day. So I'm hoping to go 450 (not a goal, lol).

So far, through Feb,. 5
97/450

I get it! No worries. At least you have something to work toward, and it can always be adjusted later on if you wish!

 

[PollyannaMom]

I'm in for 700 minutes again.

(I'll post the minutes so far a little later, as I don't have my list handy.)

Thanks for jumping in as host!!

 

[ShannyMcB]

Thanks for hosting @Twilight Sparkle lots of appointments this month so gym time will be tricky keeping it manageable at 225

We have a bunch of color on the board already! Let's hear it for Twilight Sparkle, WDW_fan_in_TX, sophy1996, and our TEAM for reaching Blue! And high fives to Alicatt for leaping straight to Orange!

Thanks again, TwilightSparkle, for taking February on for the Team!

I'm just going to go for 200 minutes this month. I may raise my goal or fail to meet it entirely, depending on when this baby decides to arrive. The doctor says she's hopeful that it will happen in the next week, but my due date is actually the 19th, so we shall see. I will say that I am exhausted pretty much all the time, so even if the baby takes its time, the 200 minutes might be a stretch!

I have 40 minutes so far from a trip to the zoo today.
