    Hello Ms Elise, I love Leslie Sansone. I especially loved her version of kick boxing. Fun! My kids are not little but I do have four dogs that love to get under foot, as you say. I cannot tell you how many times I have tripped or stepped on a dog. Sure hope your kids do not get stepped on. You know I just might do a video of hers tonight instead of my bike. We will see. With my bike I can still watch tv.

    You are doing fantastic! Keep pressing on.

    Wonder Woman, I checked out your site, cool beans. I added it to faves. Hopefully my husband will get my internet running in my workout room, SOON!

    I am in and I think I will up my calorie burn to do more than what I burned yesterday.

    I ran for 15 minutes on my elliptical for 113 calories then I did the "Last Chance" workout my Biggest Loser DVD.
    Definitely over 200!

    Exercise: Bicycling, 12-14 mph, moderate (cycling, biking, bike riding)
    Time: 60 Minutes
    Distance: 13 Miles
    Calories: 947

    I really wish my tailbone would just hurry up and get used to all the cycling.

    An average 140 lb. exerciser will burn about 300 calories expending moderate effort during the 45-minute workout routine. A more vigorous exerciser will burn nearly 400 calories during the routine.

    Here's the Livestrong article: http://www.livestrong.com/article/320773-how-many-calories-are-burned-with-the-last-chance-workout/#ixzz2746fsOZ1

    Edit: Realistically, the best way I hear to calculate those calories is by getting a decent heart rate monitor that will calculate them for you.

    Success - 221 calories today!
    A combination of walking and running (some with my 2-year-old on my shoulders), followed by jumping jacks after dinner to puch me over the mark.

    Okay I did it. I rode my bike for 65 minutes last night at 20 mph instead of 60 minutes. Sounds like everyone passed, well done warriors!
