Challenges will run Sunday to Saturday

JUNE 13-19: Burn 1500 cal
JUNE 20-26: Burn 1750 cal
JUNE 27-JULY 3: Burn 2000 cal
JULY 4-JULY 10: Burn 2250 cal
JULY 11-17: Burn 2500 cal
JULY 18-24: Burn 2750 cal
JULY 25-31: Burn 3000 cal
AUG 1-AUG 7: Burn 3250 cal
AUG 8-14: Burn 3500 cal

I propose a graduated scale challenge for calorie burn:

By August 14 we should have worked our way up to 3500 calories burned a week without stressing or injuring our bodies. We will increase our burn by 250 calories a week, which amounts to a total of 25 minutes over the week, or 5 extra minutes at the end of each workout. Slowly we will build up the time we are spending on exercise. Feel free to do more than the week goal, but try to aim for it as a minimum.

    Would love to do this, I find that challenges like this keep me focussed, but I am away on holiday 14th - 21st June. Will try to pick it up after I get back!
