Hi Everyone!
So I saw this challenge in another group and thought it looked fun- and could keep us motivated. I copied this from another group (I hope that isn’t a mfp no-no).
START DATE: July 1st 2014
Here is the daily update format example.
Week 1 Goal: 3500
Day 1: 500 calories (1hr zumba)
Day 2: calories burned (how they were burned)
Day 3: calories burned (how they were burned)
Day 4:calories burned (how they were burned)
Day 4: calories burned (how they were burned)
Day 6:calories burned (how they were burned)
Day 7:calories burned (how they were burned)
Total: 500
Left to go: 3000
RULES: There aren't many.
1. Just be respectful of each other.
2. Post progress within the threads I post. It keeps the group in order and controlled/organized. I'll post a thread everyday for the respective days throughout the month.
3. Feel free to ask questions etc.
Hopefully this will keep us accountable

It's okay as long as you account for it in your calorie intake and work off any excess calories you may consume.

This is a great idea! Maybe we could do this next week too? I have ordered an air walker/gravity strider which is coming at the weekend

This website has a tab - calculators. One of the calculators is a calorie calculator and can help determine the calories you burn during various exercises. It is helpful and has tons of information that I found really interesting. Now sure I am allowed to post the link, but I thought it was helpful.0 -
