I don't know if this counts, because my goal isn't in minutes. My goal is just to get off my duff and go for a walk - even just once or twice a week! Ideally, I'd like to go for a walk 3 days a week with DS (in his stroller, oc, as his pace wouldn't be much exercise for me). Can I include this? Or do I have to put so many minutes down as my goal?

Of course any type of exercise goal counts. It's just that we need minutes to determine the Exercise Queen.

My goal is 500 Minutes
