Since there were a few of you girls that recommended extending our 300 calorie challenge THIS IS IT! If you can burn 300 calories until Sunday the 22nd you will have burned 2100 calories ALONE! Give yourself ONE rest day. Other then that KEEP pressing play (or) doing the workout that works best for you!!!
(If you need help selecting an at home fitness program like p90x, Brazil Butt Lift or Turbo Fire I can help you. Beachbody is running a trial offer right now for those 3 programs RISK free for 30 days, you only pay $14.95 s&h PLUS you get your first 30 day supply of Shakeology and if at the end of 30 days you are not satisfied just send back the program and the empty shakeology bag - no questions asked) PM me if you are interested or visit my website listed on this groups profile home page (or my personal MFP profile) either way.
There are other programs like 10 minute trainer, Insanity, Slim in 6, Chalean Extreme *my current program* if you would like videos about them I can send them to you in PM. Just ask!
Okay, Beauties!!! Get your 300 in today!!!

You sound just like me. I did these challenges for my first month and got into the habit and making it important in my day. Now, I try and reach the goals as much as I can. I always feel so much better when I do. Im currently doing Chalean Extreme and burn about 250 with the lifting and intervals but I throw in Turbo Jam for a good cardio too. I made my own hybrid. LOVING the results.
Keep it up, I'm happy to hear that awhite92408!0 -
I've been on a 3 day vacation and today IM BACK in action!0
-
I burned 407 calories today!
I did CLX Lean circuit 1, but wasn't really feeling it. My head wasn't in it so I put on CLX Burn Intervals and did most of that.
Since it was a total of over an hour and a half, my son woke up. I feel much better now that I got a good workout in.0 -
868 calories burned working(I man a hawiian ice booth all say and lift heavy things), toes raises(while at work), and walking after dinner.0

Well I sad to say that today was my rest day... I'm so going to purchase a HRM !!! I did go to the mall and walked the mall with my daughter for about 2 hours, so I know I burned a little, just not sure how many.0
-
I LOVE my polar ft4 HRM0
-
I have a Polar FT4 also. I LOVE it. I could'nt get it to work the other day ( my fault) I freaked out. Almost bought a back up one just in case.
Good burn GrammaBonnie!
Today was my CLX rest day so I did an hour of Zumba for 365 calories! Yay. I love Zumba. It doesn't really feel like a workout to me.0 -
I have the flu, so today will be my rest day!0

I have very bad cramps. I got though my CLX workout, but dont know if I will be able to push to 300 calories today.
I am craving chocolate really bad too. This sucks.0 -

102 so far. went on a much needed walk with my son. Now, time for CLX and some weights!0

Tuesday I did 92 minutes/333 cleaning/organizing, getting ready for my daughter to move in. It was in the attic, @ 102 degrees.
Wednesday I did 10 min. of sit-ups.Then my husband and I celebrated his birthday at the local amusement part. We did lots of walking. I watched my HRM being well in Zone 1 (and into Zone 2 a few times) for much of the day, but I didn't record anything. I'd be surprised if I didn't have 300 calories.15876 steps!
Today (Thursday) I did 10 minutes of PT homework ... not a lot of calories, but I'd rather burn 42 extra calories than consume an additional 42! Tonight I went to a concert -- great percussion!!! -- and danced as much as I could. Paused the HRM when I rested -- or rather, when my granddaughter needed a break. I logged 102 minutes and 366 calories!0 -

Thanks, Shaycat!
My tools are the Polar FT80 and the Polar Active. I started with a FT40, and gave my husband an FT80 for Father's Day/Birthday. His reports gave me much more information, so I upgraded mine, too.
The Polar Active gives me a shadow, who does what I do. Keeps me more active. (I have long practiced "conservation of motion.") The Active encourages me to jiggle my foot, swing my arms, etc -- MOVE IT!. With my daughter's upcoming move -- into my home -- my life is upside down, getting her ready, and getting my home ready for her and her family. I'm not trying to reach my goals with the Active right now ... it's numbers don't always reflect everything I'm doing. After their move on the 21st, and after their place is cleaned out ... I will go back to making sure it logs at LEAST one hour per day, and at least 10,000 steps. Life is too crazy right now. I'm trying to fit in several MFP challenges, so I'm satisfied with what I'm doing.
I can't WAIT until my knee is healed enough to do Zumba! I was sure bouncing around a bit at the concert tonight. Hopefully I didn't set my knee injury backwards. But great music, and I enjoy the concert!0 -
Oh so the Polar active is like the Fitbit? I really want something like that. Nike has the Nike fuel band. I am waiting for the new version of it to com out.
I burned 327 calories today. I started on the treadmill and ran for 16 minutes for 100 calories, then did my CLX Lean circuit 3 for a big number of 227!
I killed my workout today. I feel great.0 -
344 calories burned today... I did a variation of crunches and pushups, walked, did some of a dance workout, and I did tons of toe raises!0

Yes, Shaycat. As far as I know, the Polar Active provides similar info as the Fitbit. I wear it on my wrist -- it has a watch as part of it. I wear mine 24/7. It breaks down my day (and night) into five levels of activity. Anything that it doesn't registered is presumed to be sleep. (I have fooled it by lying really, really still!) It counts my steps and computes my daily calories. Ran my heart rate monitor for 24 hours and compared it to the Active. Very close.
It's good, but not perfect. Washing my hear is vigorous activity. Riding my stationary bike is sitting. (Unless I wiggle my arms while riding.)
I don't think you get data from the Fitbit until you connect it to your computer. Active is right there, easily visible. Fitbit does altitude. I don't know if the Active does.
The Active resets itself every 24 hours at midnight.
If you need something to keep you moving ... if yo unwed something to keep you accountable .... one of these might be a great investment.
Feel free to ask me more questions about the Active as you do your research.0 -
What does 300 calories feel like? I THOUGHT it felt like my time in the pool today. I was really bummed to see that I only burned 150 calories today. (But I had a blast with my granddaughter, who went under water for the first time today!)
I did some extra flights of steps as I moved some of my daughter's stuff around. I hauled a bunch of bags to my car, and then into the house when I got home. I scrubbed her microwave. I picked up my granddaughter (52 pounds) several times.
I did the inevitable toe raises -- part of my knee rehab. As much as possible I balance on one foot or do toe raises.
I don't know if I made the 300 for today, but I tried.
Oh, and I had my annual physical. My Doc is doing the Happy Dance! My weight, blood sugar, cholesterol ... they have all improved! 0 -
The doc was happy!? THAT IS GREAT NEWS!0

GrammaBonnie ~ there are some days that I feel i burned so much and when i see my HRM am so dissapointed. So i understand the feeling. I'm signing off to push play right now, lets see how much i burn...0

-
Whoo-hoo!!! My HRM said I burned 455 calories today. A TINY bit was doing pushups (exceeded my goal!!!). Most of it was light cleaning and organizing. Not impressive workouts, but better than being a couch potato!
And, yes, Denise, the Doc kept saying, "I can't believe it!" EVERY number went down considerably. (Cholesterol from about 210 down to 175; A1C from 6.1 to 5.8, etc.) Happy Dance!!! 0 -
