Default RED TEAM Week 11 Exercise Challenge
With week 11 being the week of Thanksgiving, I'm sure a lot of us are going to busy either cooking or traveling or visiting with family, so we are going to have a relaxed sort of challenge.

This week we are going to shoot for the American Heart Association's recommendation for the minimum amount of exercise you should be getting: 30 minutes, 5 times per week. Even with a busy schedule we should be able to carve out 30 minutes. You don't have to do anything particularily vigorous, even a 30 minutes stroll around the neighborhood with your family will have benefits. Of course you are always free to do more than the minimum
