One Thousand Thousand Minutes

The Million Minute Month is On!

We've hinted at it, and we've invited you to join. We've rounded up extrordinary Spirit Guides, and we've begun the countdown. BUT, just FYI, we haven't OFFICIALLY announced the Million Minute Month, until right now:

Attention world! The Million Minute Month is on.

Wherein the Social Workout community challenges America — not to mention large parts of Europe, Asia, and all hemispheres — to exercise for one million minutes, from April 15th and May 15th. Can we do it, you wonder, and how much exactly is one million?

One million comes from the Italian milione meaning "large thousand." To give you some sense: One million honeybees weighs just about the same as a tall, skinny fitness blogger. Also, there are roughly a million granules of sugar in a quarter of a cup. One million minutes of exercise is glorious, meaningless, and potentially life-altering goal. It's a metaphorical spaceship, a crusade. And, whatever else it is, it's entirely do-able. Many hands makes light work!

Velcro on your sneaks, grab several hundred friends, and get on the bus. We will count our minutes together, arm-in-arm. We will go on a collective endorphin trip. One thousand thousand or bust!
