Default Exercise Challenge - WEEK ONE

So here it is folks. Your first week to challenge yourselves to do more than you have, harder than you have or better than you have. ANYTHING you want to do - even if it to walk the dog for 5 minutes twice this week - as long as you push for more than you've been doing, its your personal challenge. We'll be routing you on every step of the way!!! We'll check in on Sunday and see how we all did. (Updates are fine at any time of course)
