    I'm on my third week, challenge, and I have a confession to make. I felt pretty awful, after the 45 min. CobraFIT class last week, and to be honest I'm not cut out for it yet. Instead, I'll just plod on with what I know, I can do. And here it is: 315 kcal x 3 doing lifts, and squats. Equivalent to 3, 15min sessions. 310 kcal on stationary bike, about half an hour. With it being Easter, and such, I have had no energy to do any more, today.

    It's a bit chilly today, so I spent some time on the stationary bike. A couple of hours = 1545 kcal. Very environmental friendly :) Also, note that I've lost 1kg, since I started this challenge three weeks ago. I'm very pleased :)

    This sounds like a really good way to over-train and possibly injure yourself, especially if you're not used to so much activity.

    Was up all night, since the neighbours decided to do some diy, so I'm catching up on sleep. Anyway, I'm happy with 6713 kcal for the week. So, am ready for Monday, and my 4th week challenge!

    The original post is 4 years old. I wonder if the OP is even still on MFP?

    Just checked: the OP has deactivated.

    I like this idea, glad it was reactivated.

    I make sure I take two rest days a week but then I burn roughly 2000 calories during my weekend hike, so that leaves 5000 calories over 4 days... not sure how realistic that is but hey why not give it a go. I'll join you this week.

    I'm not really a part of this challenge, I just happen to come across this post, but it is totally possible. I burned approximately 7,800 calories last week, mostly running (44 miles). There was one day of weights in the gym, but that wasn't much of a calorie burner.

    Monday - 300-odd calories burned doing super-low-impact cardio to help me recover from sore muscles (supposed to be rest day after monster hike yesterday)
    Tuesday - DOMS in my calves has reached epic proportions so taking second rest day and doing nothing...

    Hmmm not going spectacularly well so far but not giving up yet!

    These are some 3 simple rules that I follow- 1 keep hydrated with water. - 2 muscles need protein, especially after a work out. Protein bars, are ideal. It's called muscle repair. - 3 take time to stretch muscles after any work out.
    Also, a good nights sleep is important for recovery :)
