1. Exercise during work can non longer be counted. If you do not have a pedometer we suggest that you map out an area by driving in your car to determine how far a distance is. Also, for most people, walking at a brisk pace for 20 minutes = 1 mile.
2. To count any exercise you do for the competition, the exercise must be intentional and consistent for at least 20 minutes. Exercise cannot be counted at work. This makes it more fair for those people who do not have the opportunity to exercise while working.
