Ok, so for all who are new to blogging, or like me (technologically challenged) here is how you will post your minutes:
1. Up at the top left of the screen is a icon that says "New Post". Click on that and a new screen will pop up on your screen. There will be a spot that says "Post" or "Title" and there you can put anything like "Minutes for Dad", Or "Debra's total exercise minutes for the week", etc.
2. Then below the title there is a box where you can write your minutes, share some thoughts about your week, etc.
3. The last thing to do is click the word "Publish" and then it will post your message on the blog. I then can tally up all the hours to keep track of everyone in case they lose their hours or forgot, etc.
4. If you have technical difficulties contact Kerrie or myself and we'll walk you through it.
Love you all! Happy exercising!

Rules for the Exercise Challenge
1. We will begin August 6, 2012 and will end November 16, 2012.
2. The total hours to meet our goal will be 30 hours of excercise in 15 weeks.
3. You can achieve the goal however works best for you and your schedule. If you exercise 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week you will finish early with 3 weeks to spare. If you have weeks that you are sick or your kiddos are sick, or you have a busy hectic week, no worries, you will have time to make it up. Kerrie has made a couple charts to help track your time and will post them for anyone else who would like to use them.
4. Each weekend, by Sunday night you will need to post your minutes/hours exercised for the week. I will keep a tally of all the hours so I can reward you at the reunion for making your goal!
5. There may be some questions about what qualifies for exercise minutes that you can count. This will be on your honor. I would say that whatever gets your heart rate up. If you feel that heart pumping and working then count it. Walking, riding bikes, running/jogging, dancing around the house to your favorite song, work out videos, push-ups, sit-ups, leg lifts, cruches, free weight lifting, etc. You know your body and what is work for you and what gets that heart rate going.
I just heard Elder D. Todd Christopherson say that self confidence doesn't come from people telling you how great you are, you gain self confidence by accomplishing hard things. It comes from being faced with hard challenges and overcoming them and feeling that sense of accomplishment. So, when you set your goal to accomplish this exercise challenge, remember that you are gaining self confidence which will, in turn, help you to "WIN FROM WITHIN!" All right!
