    3500 is incredibly easy and attainable if you just go on the stationary bike for 600 cals which should take you 45-60 mins which in 6 days burns 3600. At most it should take you 1hr30 mins if you're not in very good shape yet.

    Hi All.
    Not to be a killjoy, but....
    Something to keep in mind when you're looking at calories burned, is that cardio equipment is generally highly inaccurate. Those machines were designed using very fit people with low body fat, as the manufacturers know that the lower your body fat, the more calories you burn due to the amount of lean muscle mass. The machines also obviously have no clue as to an individuals metabolic rate, or body fat percentage.
    The best way to determine calories burned is to determine your metabolic rate (typically through a metabolic specialist). Short of that, I would recommend that if you're fit with low body fat, subtract 10 to 15% from the machine's 'estimate' of calories burned. If your body fat percentage is on the higher side, drop it by 25% (e.g. a machine estimate of 300 calories burned, is really more like 225),
    This is of course still a very rough number, but should give you a more realistic picture, and hopefully prevent people consuming those extra calories in error.

    *UGH* I'm kind of late. :ohwell: Do you do this every week, I'd like to join the challenge. :smile:

    Here's my rundown anyway... who knows, maybe I'll kick it up a notch and somehow make it to 3500. LOL

    Monday: 355 (walking, jumping jacks, dancing)
    Tuesday: 112 (walking)
    Wednesday: 600 (walking, jogging, running)
    Thursday: 607 (walking, jogging, running)
    Friday: 333 (walking, dancing)

    Total : 3559 (by 11am Sunday morning, not including what else I may or may not get into).

    Wow... I guess I was able to kick it up that much needed notch, despite the fact that I was unable to go to the gym for 3 days due to family obligations!!! *YAY* Thanks for the challenge, I'll be back next week! =D

    I am sorry to be a kill joy to your kill joy but not all of us are using cardio equipment to determine out calories burned. I for one am using a heart rate monitor and since a lot of the people aren't even using cardio equipment I doubt they are going off that as well. The purpose of the challege is really to have a goal set and try to reach it.
