Challenge for the week: burn 3500 calories & 25 miles, I don't care if it's walking/biking/running/swimming/elliptical, etc. just get them done! If you already average 25 miles a week then I challenge you to do them doing something other than what you normally do and/or double it. * You can use the calories you burn in those 25 miles towards your weekly burn goal.

* Please don't use your daily activity steps as your miles, nor your total daily calorie burn for just breathing. Please only use exercise miles & exercise calories burned. Thank you.

Week 1 Goal: 3500

09/01 Day 1: 146 calories burned (Calisthenics)
09/02 Day 2: 686 calories burned (lifting & elliptical)
09/03 Day 3: 741 calories burned (bike & calisthenics)
09/04 Day 4: 646 calories burned (calisthenics, stair runs, yoga & bike)
09/05 Day 5: 911 calories burned (calisthenics, bike & stretch)
09/06 Day 6: lazy
09/07 Day 7: 1136 calories burned (running & walking)

Total: 4266
Left to go: 0 over by 766

Remember the winner for the week will choose our burn goal & the + for the following week.

    This might be a dumb question but I was wondering if the + challenge for the week was strictly physical/ exercise or if it could be nutritional too. Just thought I'd ask :)

    Sorry for the delay, I was discussing it w/my fellow moderators. We think that periodically (not every week) there could be a nutritional challenge that the winner can choose for us to do.

    I hope your ready everyone. Monday is almost here for some & already here for others. Don't forget to keep track of your exercise & miles. We will need all figures by 9/7, no late entries will be counted. Check in the winner announcement section @ the end of the week. The winner will then set our burn goal & the + for week 2.

    Good luck everyone! Let's work on our summer bodies now!

    It seems like a lot more this time! I hope I don't get confused! Scared to try for 3500 calorie (as that is going to start to make a scary deficit on here. haha, but I don't want to get kicked out so! Here I go!

    Week 1 Goal: 3500 + 25 miles (that's 5 days of 5 miles)

    09/01 Day 1: calories burned (how they were burned)
    Total: 0
    Remaining: 3500
    Surplus: 0
    Deficit: 0

    Week Goal: 3500
    Week Total: 3500

    Month Goal: 1500
    Month Total: 0

    Guess I'm ready. :sick: Say do you count the entry if it's put in at 12:00 am 9/8? Or is it strictly 9/7? That's when I put in most of my entries last time and it seemed to work out.

    Think of it as an opportunity to try something new. You may discover a new go to. When the treadmill went out @ my work gym I started using the elliptical & I loved it. Now I rarely use the treadmill.

    This week it's the same 3500. I only added the miles, but they can count towards the 3500 calorie burn. But I can't guarantee it will stay @ 3500, it will depend on the winner & what goal they choose for us. You won't get kicked out, I know you workout hard. I never begrudge anyone that tries, even if they don't meet the goal, they tried & that to me says a lot.

    For the additional challenge I will try to get in 25 miles walking, water jogging or on the elliptical. I already ride my bike about 50 miles per week, so that would not give me anything extra.

    From 1st September, I plan to start waking up to make full use of the gym in my basement. I will set my phone alarm to go off between 4:30 a.m and 5:00 a.m. to do my exercise.
    I am going to focus more on 30 Day Shred, more Kettle Bell exercises and The Firm DVDs.

    25 miles will come from walking in the evening.

    So bummed, I had planned to spend time on the treadmill while watching US Open today, but I ended up having a really bad allergy attack and spent the day on the couch. Hopefully feel better tomorrow and log as many miles and calories as I can!
