O.K. So a few of us have just spent a week trying to burn 7000 calories.Some were successful in reaching this goal.Others were successful in giving it all they had.Anyway This week I'm challenging folks to burn 8000 calories! Please post your daily burns along with the method in which you burned your calories.By telling us how you burned we all get ideas about how to accomplish the goals we set!! I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE HARD BUT TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT!!!!


THIS CHALLENGE STARTS TOMORROW NOVEMBER 24TH........HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

    My personal goal is to continue these challenges weekly .Upping the total calories burned by 1000 until I can't reach it!! That way I'll know my limit and strive to get fitter by extending that limit a little at a time!!

    I do straight cardio. Don't know "how" to lift. 60-90 mins on treadmill. Incline 11, speed 4.5mph. Good for about 1200 calories in 60mins.
