Q & A regarding the new Kinetic Challenge:
The Kinetic Challenge is a place to record Fitness Hours for the year. It is in program development so your questions and participation becomes part of its progression.

Q-->Can a team member sign up for the kinetic challenge, AND the swim/bike/run?
A-->Hours and/or Miles/meters can't count for both swim/bike/run and Kinetic Challenge

Q-->Does a yoga class count, or does it need to be aerobic activity?
A-->A Yoga class would count as a Kinetic or also known as a Fitness Hour

Q-->I've been walking instead of running, since there isn't a "walk" category, am I required to log my time now rather than miles?
A-->Fitness walking can count for either Challenge the Kinetic or Run.

Q-->Suppose I train for walking a half-marathon...Does walking count for the kinetic challenge or the running challenge or not at all?
A-->Fitness walking can count for either Challenge the kinetic or running.

Q-->Does the kinetic challenge have a definition? Does it consider classes at Kennedy, or is it cardio only?
A-->Fitness hours. So, Yes, Kennedy classes, Fitness walking, and cardio

Q-->Does my downhill skiing time count?
A-->Yes, but read on. Skiing is a fantastic fitness pursuit. Think about the hours that are you are aerobic and how much are fitness hours. Perhaps a rule of thumb: 33% of my skiing day. But, it is whatever you wish to record.

Q-->What about cross-county skiing?
A-->Yes, 100% of that time.
