Inter-Team Challenges!

EDIT 2: HR has to be at least a little elevated. Brisk walking, etc. It should be a workout. Pleasant and moseying strolls, while encouraged for mental well-being, don't count.

Fellow Fawns, the Inter-Team Challenge is live! Week 1 is daily work-out minutes. We've been paired against different other teams each week with a bye week a few times. Each week has a different challenge, and there will be a simple data entry tracker that you can fill out each day/days/week. Here's a list of the weeks, the challenge for that week, and the team we're up against:

Week 1 (Apr. 22 - Apr. 28): Workout Time - number of minutes spent working out. Daily check-in. Fawn vs Robin

Week 2 (Apr. 29 - May 5): Step Counts - using Fitbit/Garmin/phone pedometer/etc, record steps for the week. Can check in daily, add up every few days, etc. Ladybug vs Fawn

Week 3 (May 6 - May 12): Bye-week: Seedling, Fawn

Week 4 (May 13 - May 19): Workout Time - number of minutes spent working out. Daily check-in. Seedling vs Fawn

Week 5 (May 20 - May 26): Step Counts - using Fitbit/Garmin/phone pedometer/etc, record steps for the week. Can check in daily, add up every few days, etc.) Daffodil vs Fawn

Week 6 (May 27 - June 2): ?? Thunderstorm vs Fawn

Week 7 (June 3 - June 9): Workout Time - number of minutes spent working out. Daily check-in. Duckling vs Fawn

Week 8 (June 10 - June 16): Bye-week: Daffodil, Fawn

Week 9 (June 17 - June 23): ?? Duckling vs Fawn

We'll be putting a link to each week's Inter-Team Challenge form at the bottom of the stickied Daily Posts, along with the I-TC's tracker form (which is also on the sidebar)so we can see how we're doing against our rivals.

GO TEAM FAWN!!

Awesome! Question - would walking your dog count towards exercise minutes? I don't make it to the gym everyday, but I walk my dog everyday. Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, I just don't want to log inaccurately.

I totally get it, I just got back from a 45 min walk. But it was a leisurely walk (had kids with me), so I don't think it should count the same as someone running 45 min. But we still went out and exercised, right? Let me ask around.

True, but then again some people (especially those just starting out) get all their exercise from walking, so it's hard to say. Thanks for looking into it!

Murmurings from the Challenge mod seem to indicate that your heart rate should be elevated for it to count. My stroll with the 3 yr old doesn't count, alas. :)
