    I'm in! But not for 9,000. I don't remember how much I did this last week, but I'll increase it 500. Starting tomorrow!
    Thx for the challenge - I'll do my best!

    I might have to do this one... Havent decided yet... I missed the last one. the only reason I am debating is cause I work 12hr shifts with an hour commute and dont have but a day or two off for that time period... there is not enough time in the day ... If you were starting monday I would deffinately be in. cause I only have to work 2 days that week.

    Come on man you have 7 days a week that you can find 1hr a day to get exercise in. 12hr shifts? pft! You still get a lunch. You still get breaks. You still have time before or after work. When you are at work and are faced against an issue do you say "I can't do that" nope! You make it work period or you don't have a job.

    It is far easier to come up with an excuse than it is to come up with a solution.

    I'm not saying you need to meet the goal of this thread but I am saying you can find 1hr a day to exercise. If I can anyone can. Git'r done brah!

    I normally do take an hour out of my day to exercise... I would have to take about 2hours a day to meet or exceed the goal set forth. Unless I do all cardio. then it would only have to be about 80mins a day, but I dont want to skimp on my weight training... I will try to do the goal, but I dont want to lose too much sleep over it. Where I work I do get lunch, but I cant leave the site. So I will have to bring my kettlebells and indian clubs to work and I dont want to be all sweaty for 7hrs until I get home to take a shower. Can we say jock itch? lol... I will try.... It will deffinately be a challenge though. I will have to do cardio before and after work and weights at work. Who knows maybe I will set the new standard? what is the highest someone has done on here? That is alot of calores to eat back also. Hmmm, I will have to buy extra food too.

    Edit: Ok so if I did 40mins of cardio 2 times a day for 7 days straight and 30 mins of weights each day then that is about 12000 calories for the week... Wish me luck.

    Mark, you're numbers are always so high!!! In the 700's is pretty good for me, actually VERY good! Whenever I go over the 700's I'm thinking about your challenge, but I don't know how long I can keep this up!

    See you tomorrow!
