What’s the weekly minimum exercise-minute goal?

The getfit@mit challenge includes a steadily increasing minimum individual exercise goal for each week, beginning with 150 exercise minutes during Week 1 and ending with 300 minutes in Week 12. Participants are not required to meet these exercise goals, but eligibility for certain team and individual prizes, including the grand prize, will be based on reaching the weekly minimum goals. A team will be credited with meeting its weekly minimum exercise goal if the average for its members is at or above the target number of minutes. This means that some team members could fall short of the goal by some number of minutes as long as other members exceed the goal by at least the same number of minutes.

• Week 1 — 150 minutes
• Week 2 — 165 minutes
• Week 3 — 180 minutes
• Week 4 — 195 minutes
• Week 5 — 210 minutes
