Lee Fitness Challenge

Anyone doing it?

Anyone wondering how the Week 1 leader is averaging 8 hours of exercise PER DAY?!??!?

 

What is it? Where can I get some information?

 

Most of us are probably wondering what you're talking about.

 

Sorry to be unclear. Its a fitness challenge for Lee, as in Lee Enterprises.

 

Followed by a cut in benefits. After all, if you need health care, you just suck.

 

Huh?

 

Companies enjoy passing blame onto their employees for their health. In some cases, it's justified. Often it's not, though.

 

Okay, now I follow you.

 

If that includes walking to the coffee pot and outside for a smoke break, that's nothing.

 

I thought this was an offshoot on the Simpson's Lee Carvallo Putting Challenge.

 

Nothing...if you take, oh, 320 coffee breaks and 320 smoke breaks a day.

I started this thread mostly because I'm amused by how folks brazenly lie in these things. In the grand scheme, it doesn't mean squat. In the less-grander scheme, it also doesn't mean squat, because the prizes (there are prizes!) are awarded based on random draw from all participants, without regard to achievement.

There was a parallel in last year's "Walk Across Lee" contest, when the Week 1 leaderboard revealed people who were basically walking the equivalent of a marathon a day, seven days a week.
