in Motivation and Support
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)

    I'm in! I'm also in a challenge group for September and this is our last week, so I want to go all out and push myself to the limit! I burned 4151 calories last week doing nothing but cardio and simple calisthenics, but this week I want to burn even more! I'm absolutely addicted to working out now and I never thought I'd ever hear myself say that. BTW I'm new to this but would love to keep going on it! I have a Polar FT60 HRM and don't stop working out til the calorie counter hits at least 1000 (usually between 60-80 minutes)!

    I'm in, but question - do I track strength training? and how?

    Welcome! There there a "Strength training" exercise in the cardio database here that you can use to get a general idea of calories burned during your weight workouts.
