    Got a question from a member of my team for ya. She does water aerobics for exercise will that count for anything? What if we don't typically walk/run/bike/swim (laps)? Thanks! :-)

    I was thinking the same should we say so many minutes is a mile for exercises that don't have mileage? Like maybe 15 minutes is a mile or something like that for aerobics and water aerobics? Not sure I can do the windshield washers with my bad hip but I am going to try them I might be surprised:bigsmile: , can we modify them as a one leg at a time exercise if we can't do two legs at once like the video?

    Day 1 went good. It kept me from giving in to temptation of cheesecake this afternoon. :)

    I will try the windshield wipers, but I have a herniated disc in my lower back which makes laying on the floor painful.

    Hi Everyone! There have been some questions asked and I want to address them here, so all can see.

    As far as converting non-distance activities into x miles, I need to think about this. I hadn't planned to do it this way and I want to make sure that it's fair for everyone. So, let me sleep on it, and I will get back to everyone in the am.

    Next, I will not be updating the spreadsheet until the following morning, so as long as the captains can get their teams' totals to me by 10am CST, I am fine with that.

    Finally, as far as the exercise challenges go - these are additional. If you have an injury that doesn't allow you to do something, it's okay. Or if you need to modify something, that is alright as well, but make sure that you give it your best shot. Like I said before, I don't want to see anyone getting HURT because they tried to do something that they weren't able to do.

    Hmmmmm...... I think that's all, but please feel free to PM me or post here if you have any questions.
    Thanks Guys! I appreciate your patience while we work out the kinks!
