title: How to solve error CS0103: the name 'minutes' does not exist in the current context
body: <p>I am currently doing a tree-house course in which you create a fitness console app that records your input exercise time , tallies it and gives you feedback depending on your  and have received no help in the treehouse community , so if anyone could help me find a solution to the following it would be great help , im not sure if it has something to do with where the variable is placed , if it is in-between the braces in which in is called. Im not too sure im really new to this</p>
  
  <pre><code>using System;
  namespace Treehouse.fitnessFrog

              string entry = Console.ReadLine();
