2,500 calorie cruncher 9/21 - 9/28

So I thought I would do something different to really get this challenge going on the right foot!!!

Lets see how many people can burn 2,500 calories in one week! For many this is fairly easy and for many others this will be a tough one! I figured this is a good in between number. This is about 357 calories per day :)

You can log here DAILY with your calories burnt or just at the end of the week with your final result!

To spice it up a little more:
LET'S SEE WHO CAN BURN THE MOST CALORIES IN THIS TIME FRAME!!!! Yes, I just turned this into a contest?!
WHO WILL IT BE~ Starting at 12AM 9/21. NO EARLIER. GO GO GO~~~~

    I am in! I doubt I will have anywhere near the highest burn, but I am all for hitting 2500. I am not including my fitbit calories in this--just straight exercise. Yay for challenges!!

    I'm in! With the challenge at work I just signed up for (which starts 9/24), I have to be active 300 minutes/wk to meet my goal. That works out to about 43 min/day.

    Thanks for the extra push!!

    I'm in. Great timing too. Funny thing is, I had stalled the last two weeks and I felt like my Treadclimber was lying to me about my calories burned. Anyway, I bought a heart rate monitor (Polar FT 40) and it came in the mail today! After testing it out tonight, I don't think I'll hit 2500, but I'll certainly give it a run for its money!

    Wow that is a BIG challenge! but i will try!
  • YAY! Quite a few people are in on this, LOVE IT... Having a HRM is definitely helpful-- for anyone on the wall with getting one, I HIGHLY suggest it. I use the Polar FT60 and am maybe a little obsessed with it :D

    Day 1: 222 calories burned

    Total calories: 222
    Based solely on exercise and the Polar HRM, not normal activity

    It's a lot lower than my TC10 Treadclimber was telling me, but I feel better about it. More importantly, I think I broke my stall of the last two weeks!

    Today was day 1 for me. 305 calories burned. It is raining outside so I used a stationary bike that I have not touched since I moved into my house in 1992. Had to move a few clothes that were hanging from it. Thanks for the challenge.

    Total: 305
