Ominous October Fitness Frights- 2025 Exercise Challenge

[Alicatt]

Welcome to this month's terrifying thread! We will be focusing on some favorite chills and thrills this month.

Welcome returning members and fresh meat.

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 October has 31 days, here are some common conversions:

15 minutes/day = 465
20 minutes/day = 620
30 minutes/day = 930
45 minutes/day = 1395
1 hour/day = 1860

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% - Yellow
90% - Red
100% - Green

Please send me your goals. We are starting on October 1st, but you can join late if you're just finding us.

Looking forward to some fun frights! Thanks for taking on this month, Alicatt!

I'm in for 2400 this time.

 

[PollyannaMom]

In for my usual 600 minutes.
(I want to see if last month was a fluke before I up my official goal.)

 

[sophy1996]

In for 1000 this month. Thanks for hosting, Alicatt!

 

[clappyclaps]

Loving the theme for this month, thanks Alicatt for hosting!

I'll up my total slightly this month to 1700. Not sure if September was an outlier due to some decent walks and time off, so will see if I can stay consistent!

 

[ShannyMcB]

Fun theme! I’m in for 300

 

[Alicatt]

60 min fo me today!

 

[Raya]

I'm late! So sorry! Going to set a very unambitious goal of 500 this month. We're back home at Disney for the last 1/3 of the month, so I probably won't be tracking then. It's going to be a crazy month for sure.

Got my first 60 in today!

Raya 60/500 - 12%

Hi everyone! My biggest goal is to get back on track - I've really slacked off lately. With Food and Wine in my November future, I'll aim for 600 this month. With the gorgeous weather and the girls off to school by 8:30, I really have no excuse not to move.
@Alicatt - love the theme!!! Haunted Mansion is one of my favorites!

0/600

 

[Twilight Sparkle]

I was super speedy at the barn today, so only 60 minutes to kick off the month.

60/2400

 

[Elizabeth Smith]

Love a spooky theme!

Since we're going to be moving this month, I'll lower my goal slightly to 550. No minutes for today. I'm still sore from yesterday!

 

[sophy1996]

Starting off with 85/1000

 

[PollyannaMom]

35 minutes for me so far

35/600

 

[clappyclaps]

+101 for walks today and yesterday, getting them in before the storm draws in over the weekend.

Total = 101/1700

 

[BonnieF]

Today was apple and pumpkin picking! A beautiful fall day to do it, too. Not a fast pace, but 60 minutes picking four different types. Applesauce and maybe a pie this weekend (I've never made a pie -lol).

60/600

 

[sophy1996]

[ShannyMcB]

Managed both dance and yoga this week
121/300

 

[Raya]

+60. We watched the Muppet's Haunted Mansion special last night. I'll always be a big fan of the Eddie Murphy Haunted Mansion film (the love story! the mystery!) but Muppet's might be my favorite. It's got so many ride based jokes.

Raya 120/500 - 24%

 

[Twilight Sparkle]

225 minutes - horses, running, weights
