I didn't see collettemrk post a 7 day calorie burn challenge, so I am going to take the lead this week 
This week is a 10,000 Calorie burn challenge. (You can put up your own number but make sure it something you'll have a tough time reaching otherwise it's really not a challenge now is it?)
The formats the same so good luck & be safe!!
My Weekly Goal: 10,000 calories

I'm completely up for this! Although, I am definitely not as daring as you with your goal.
My goal will be 5,000 calories.
GOOD LUCK!!!0 -
That is an average of 1428.57calories per day!
That means you would have to eat at least 2628.57 calories to prevent yourself from going in to starvation mode if a woman and you would have to consume 3228.57 calories for a man to prevent starvation mode.
Make sure you are taking in the calories to go with your calories burned goal for your own health. Also, I recommend talking to physician and making sure your body can handle the stress.
Good luck.0 -

Okay, I'm in. But, I don't think I can do 10,000 calories....I just don't have enough time in the day! Um...I normally burn about 300 calories a day....so let's set it at 2100 calories for me. If that's not enough, just tell me so....I can push myself to do more...I think :P Here's my stats so far for the week:
Monday: 0 (no exercise)
Tuesday: 165 (walking for 45 minutes)
Wednesday: 305 (running/walking for 30 minutes, strength training for 20)

None, I DID IT!!! :happy:0 -
calorie burn question for you all: Do you believe that you burn twice as much on the elliptical as aerobic dancing? I don't, but that's what the database shows. I'm thinking the manufacturer came up with some impressive numbers to boost sales, myself. I got
winded, and more sweaty during zumba than I ever have been with elliptical. Curious about your reactions out there!0 -

I don't know about calories, but I do sweat WAY more when I do Zumba on my Wii, and feel it in more parts of my body, than I do on the elliptical.0 -
Good job everyone! New challenge is posted!0
