    You can break it up through out the day! If you are at 45 mins then aim for that! The point of the challenge is to get out and MOVE more then you normally do! Good luck and we would love to have you :)

    I use a stationary bike for 30 mins per day, then dance on dance central for 15-20, so what 2-3 more songs on the game wont kill me right?!!!

    I'll give it a try. I may not do too well this week, but who knows. I don't watch my sodium as I usually only pay attention to calories, so that will be interesting. 60 minutes a day is going to be tough.
