Welcome everyone to the 3,500+ calories burned challenge. This weekly challenge has been going on for over a year now and it's open to everyone! So nice to see so many new faces these last few weeks - hope it continues; people are setting higher goals and getting more calories burned!
This is a weekly challenge to meet 3,500+ calories burned. You set your own calorie goal for the week (even if it's below 3,500 - you can work your way to that goal!). Each day post the calories you burned, current total and how many you have to go. That's it, not too hard, other than push push pushing yourself to hit your goal. Everyone is such an inspiration on this challenge. Keep up the good work for the people returning and welcome to the newbies.
Make it great week everyone!!
Here's a daily update format you can use:
Weekly Goal:
Mon: calories burned (how they were burned)
Tues: calories burned (how they were burned)
Wed: calories burned (how they were burned)
Thur: calories burned (how they were burned)
Fri: calories burned (how they were burned)
Sat: calories burned (how they were burned)
Sun: calories burned (how they were burned)

Optional Bonus, not really a challenge: Share with the group one song on your workout playlist that helps you push harder or keeps you motivated.

Great! About 500 a day but some days will probably be higher and some days lower. Just set a goal you can reach for the week - which for some people might be 2,000 and some might be over 10,000!0 -

Sounds like fun. Can I use my Fitbit activity calories (i.e. not counting my BMR) as my burn total or are we looking for discrete exercises (i.e. something I get my shorts and HRM out for)?
