This market resolves yes if I average 45 minutes of exercise per day in August.

Shamelessly copying Alice's exercise market series: https://manifold.markets/Alice/will-i-exercise-45-minutes-a-day-in

Context: I recently moved to NY and got a climbing gym membership and citibike subscription. I plan to bike and climb at least 2 times a week for ~2 hours each session as well as random biking for transportation purposes. However, I will be in California visiting friends for the first week and don't know how much exercise will be happening then.

Jul 31, 8:23pm: whoops, said first month instead of first week of August.

You'll need to exercise 115 minutes today/tomorrow to make it- consider this the final push!

Got back from California yesterday night! I exercised more than I expected there so I should be pretty on track!

Do you have a maximum threshold for how much activity you consider healthy over a week or a one/two day period? Trying to avoid inadvertently incentivizing you to run seven marathons the last week of the month (:
predicted YES
@Charlie I’ve never run a marathon in my life 😂 and I don’t think it’s going to start next month. The last week I’ve been taking rest days if I still feel sore/tired and I generally don’t overexert myself while exercising. Don’t have a definite threshold but I hope that explains more 🙂
predicted NO
@Marsteralex ah yes, but Mana makes us do crazy things. I'll see YOU at the finish line! :P
