Ahoy me maties!

Ok all accents aside, did you think you were walking into a thread about booties? 'fraid not!

There's 9 weeks left of the challenge (including this week) and we need to get moving! Meaning we need to move more, get in daily exercise and shedding those pesky pounds!

Our goal in this exercise challenge is for all of us to sail 2,205 miles worth of ocean. We can accomplish that by keeping track of the minutes that we exercise per week.

Just to give you a formal break down:
2,205 mins = 245 mins per week = 35 mins per day

Which is doable!

So here's how it's going to work:

* Each Blue Team member will make one exercise post. This will be your only exercise post for the entire nine weeks. As the weeks finish, you continue to post your exercise for the next week. When I've jotted down your time for that week, I'll go in and take out the old week and you'll just have the current stuff in there. Make sense?

* Each week there is a minimum goal. That goal is 245 mins per week. You don't have to make this goal every week, but you will see why its good to later.

* At the end of each week I'll tally up everyone's minutes, and award the booty! You'll see who has what booty for each week in the post under this one.

* The week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. I'll be tallying exercise on Tuesday mornings the same time I do our weigh in results, so your deadline to post your exercise is Mondays at 11:59 pm.

* We are NOT including housework in this challenge. This has to be formal exercise.

* I can not go by tickers (mainly because I have signatures turned off...) You have to post your minutes in a thread or they won't count.
