200 calories in 24 hours friend challenge

Thought I'd report on a little experiment I've been doing for the past 3 days.

It's been challenging all 134 of my friends to burn AT LEAST 200 calories every day. And then every 24 hours report on the percentage of people burning, the amount burnt in total and the biggest burn.

So far, each day the figures have increased, more people burning over 200 calories, more calories burnt and bigger burns.

Friends have told me that they are inspired to get over 200 just so they can make the list and be part of the experiment.

I'm hoping to get at least 50% of my friends burning at least 200 calories a day - a measely amount but for some people difficult to do consistently every day, even though for most it is only a 30-60 minute walk at least.

I am continuing this experiment for a week to see if it keeps increasing. If it does, imagine what we can achieve if we ALL challenged our friends to burn just a little bit more each day, but every day. Imagine if we upped the stakes to be 300 or 400 calories every day?

Simple, little things make a difference. I'm hoping my friends prove me right that with a little bit of encouragement we can all get over the line :)
