35,000 calories burned in 30 days!!!

Options
I am so proud of my friend Elena (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/helena_jj)! She is in the middle of an incredible weight loss journey. She has lost 50 pounds and is working HARD towards losing another 65 pounds!!
Last month I challenged Elena to burn as many calories as she could in 30 days. I agreed to perform 30 weighted burpees using the equivalent weight that she was able to burn during those 30 days (3,500 calories = 1 pound). She set a goal of burning the equivalent to 10 pounds, which is 35,000 calories in 30 days!!! Here is the video of my burpees using the weight that she BURNED. Elena, this workout is dedicated to YOU! I am so honored to watch your journey unfold!

    Thanks, Erica!
    Though I rather think that I lost the challenge as you could do 30 burpees and even 2 more. Erica has just lost count! LOL!
    I am sure I was able to lose so much weight already because I exercised like I was insane, and our challenge was the main motivator for me! Thank you again! :)
    PS: your information is outdated, I've lost 4 more pounds. Haha!
