A weeks worth of calories in one weekend?

3enjamin

So a friend and I are going to try and burn a weeks worth of calories in one weekend We are going to do it this next weekend 9/8.
Heres how it works-
I take in 1650 calories a day.
multipy that by 7
= 11550
So Im going to try and burn through 11550 calories next weekend. Starting Friday night at 7 and ending Monday at 12am.

Anyone else want to get in on this?

:laugh: CONSUMING a week's worth of calories in one weekend is more the kind of goal I'd like to try.

Don't care to join in, but was curious as to why?

Enjoy burning 3 Marathons worth of calories.

I don't think it is a very good idea but whatever float your boat

That seems like an awful lot. Have fun without me.

That does not sound like fun....

LOL! Have you thought about how you are going to burn these calories? Do you have planned sessions and a rough idea of how many calories you might burn doing each activity? Will you be wearing a HRM? It sounds like it is going to be VERY hard!

Good luck!

Oh, will you be eating your exercise calories back?? :laugh:

Ive done weeks worth of eating in a weekend and it does sound more enticing
I've been working out pretty consistently to try and reach my goal of 60 lbs in 16 weeks. Ive kinda hit a wall and want to use this to push me over that. I also want to start training for a tough mudder event in Feb and this would be a good way to kick off that training.

Heres what Im thinking-
Friday night - Gym- 60 min on treadmill at 3.5 mph at 8-10% incline. 30 min HIIT. Lifting weights

Saturday- 6 mile hike through some of phoenix mountains2-3 hours. Gym- 1 hr bicycling more weight lifting- swimming laps 1 hr

Sunday- 2 mile jog. 1 hour p90x. 1-2 hours of soccer.

That's what I'm shooting for. I think its achievable and I'm going to push really hard to hit it

I will be eating throughout this event. Its not going to be a starvation exercise deal. I also will be counting the calories my body naturally burns towards it.

Lol. I understand it probably sounds a bit overzealous. But I think its plausible. Also my outline is a rough draft of my plans, Im going to switch a few things on it up over the week and get a solid plan but I figure if I aim high and miss I still will have an awesome weekend.
I'll do a practice run this weekend and see how it goes and what I need to improve on.

I don't know about that. Good luck anyways.

By the way, 60 pounds in 16 weeks is an awful lot. Almost 4 pounds a week. Not really realistic.

I may be wrong, but you would have to TRIPLE this to achieve what you are talking about. Anyone want to program this into their fitbit to confirm? lol

Are you the same guy from a couple of weeks ago that had plans to burn more calories each day than you consumed for an entire week (or something like that. Someone with a better memory, help me out here...)?

3enjamin

No thats not me. I just found this place yesterday. I'm not trying to troll or anything. Just set a high goal and want to achieve it.
Like I said Ill see how it goes this weekend and go from there

Good luck with that, sounds like a good plan all-round.

(1000 cal)

Saturday- 6 mile hike through some of phoenix mountains2-3 hours. Gym- 1 hr bicycling more weight lifting- swimming laps 1 hr
(2400 cal)

Sunday- 2 mile jog. 1 hour p90x. 1-2 hours of soccer.
(2000 *assuming 2 hrs of soccer, playing midfield, constant running)

Total: 5400 cal

Those are my *generous* estimates, based on my own stats- I don't know how big you are, etc. So don't take the numbers at face value- just as a sanity check. I think 11,000 cals over a weekend is kind of insane, unless you are a serious athlete and your body is conditioned for it.
