    Exercise plays an important part of our daily regime, there are many benefits of exercising and breaking a sweat...

    - Controls Weight
    - Prevents against health diseases
    - Improves your mood
    - Boosts Energy
    - Promotes Better Sleep
    - Puts spark back into your sex life (oo la la)
    - FUN! Yes exercise can be fun!

    A general goal should be to aim for 30 minutes of exercise per day, if you are looking to loose weight you should increase your exercise based on your goals!

    Our weekly challenge this week is to BURN CALORIES!! That's right, it's that simple!! Out of your ordinary daily routine, we should be shooting for some extra calorie burn! Weather that's for 30 or 60 minutes, we should shoot to burn away that fat...

    So let's BURN those calories and flush that fat away!! ...

    Keep track of your daily calorie burn, at the end of the week, submit your calorie burn... the team with the most calories burned is SAFE from this week's elimination!! That's right teams... here is your first chance to be safe from our first elimination!!!


    ** Keep in mind we should be honest with ourselves and with others! ... You should submit your team calorie burn by 12pm Sunday afternoon no later!


    So Let's get our burn on!

    Do you just want our total for the week, or do you want us to give you the daily play by play?

    it's a big disadvantage to your team - but if you want to weigh on Monday's thats fine -the previous Monday's weigh in will be used each week

    As I read it, everything after noon on Sunday central time goes for the next week. :)

    There will be no exercise challenges for Sunday (day of rest) - if you do complete an exercise before noon on Sunday towards the challenge than it will count towards the challenge.

    For example if you complete & submit another 300 calories on Sunday morning and submit them before noon they will count towards your weekly challenge.

    Does that make sense? Otherwise all Sunday activities are on you.

    but would my sunday exercise count for the next week? because i do a lot of exercise on sundays...about 4 hours and at least 1000 calories.

    I'm confused, so is today her official weight, or a guess? Sorry, I didn't understand, and confused about the not having a scale part.

    Her scale broke on Friday (said she weighed 20lbs less than her prior week weigh in) so she had to buy a scale and get me her weight yesterday. I used her last weigh in as the start weight until she got back to me to get the competition started.
