Just checking are you using mcs Program.cs to compile? I believe the command is case sensitive so you'll need to type the name of the file exactly.

i forked your workspace, made a change or two to get it to compile:

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
         // Prompt user for minutes excersized
         System.Console.WriteLine("Enter how many minutes you exercised: ");
       // Add minutes excersized to total
       // Display total exersized to screen
       // Repeat until user quits

    } 
}

and then got

treehouse:~/workspace$ mcs Program.cs                
treehouse:~/workspace$ mono Program.exe                                                    
Enter how many minutes you exercised:                                                      
treehouse:~/workspace$
