12/10/10 Biggest Loser Finale - 1 Day Challenge

bri1720

Last week I walked on the treadmill during the Biggest Loser. I barely even noticed the time fly by as I walked/jogged on the treadmill. Although I didn't put up a marathon distance like the contestants did, I walked/jogged 4.58 miles and burned 470 calories in 83 minutes (the show was DVR'd so I skipped commercials).

Today, I plan to be on the treadmill during the entire duration of the 2-hour Finale. I challenge all of you to do something ANYTHING during the show. Step Ups, treadmill, you name it. Obviously, you should go at your own pace and listen to your bodies, but try and do something. Or maybe do some jumping jacks or situps during the commercials. It dawned on me that I was contradicting myself and my goals by "Watching" the contestants work hard while I sit on my rear.

It may seem like a long time, but you'd be surprised how quickly the time goes while watching the show.

Post what you did afterwards. Not as a competition to see who did more, but so we can see how many of us got up and MOVED!!!!

Can't wait for the show!!!!

Great idea! I'm in the Uk and don't have to right chanel, but I'll certainly think about doing somthing similar for one of our shows, maybe a Coronation St challenge!

Anything works. I try to watch a movie or one of my shows while I'm on the treadmill so I won't keep looking at the time passed. Good luck!!!

Another PHENOMENAL form of exercise where the time flys is ZUMBA!!!! I don't work up much of a sweat when I run a mile at 6mph however when I do ZUMBA I start sweating almost immediately (Okay maybe within the first 5 minutes) and I don't stop! It's a COMPLETE all over workout and it's FUN!! Who knew working out could be FUN?!?!?!?

That's an excellent idea! I watch the show on Hulu on Wednesday's so I won't be ab;e to post until tomorrow. I don't have a treadmill in my place but I do have a step so I can do that. Throughout this season, while watching I've been doing squats, jumping jacks, etc during the commercials but I love the idea of making it a full workout. Thanks for the motivation!

I think I can do this. For the past 2 seasons of BL I have done exercise challenges with my hubby during the commercials. It has been lods of fun. I don't have a treadmill but I have a step.
