How did you burn that much doing our challenge? I'm jealous :huh: . I did a 45 min workout (Turbo Fire) and then did the challenge exercises and only burned about 390.0 -

Kickboxing. I swear by it. You burn a lot of calories. Others on here do Zumba, you dont burn as much as kickboxing but you do burn a lot.0 -
Today's exercises are completed.0

I will be completing today's challenge when I get home. I worked out this morning (PT..I'm in the military )0
-
You can post your calories burnt on here. I will record them
Here's the schedule for the next few days.
"I am trying to listen to feedback and keep things ever changing. I am trying to keep each day different and focus on different areas. I will have some days that are filled with exercises that you are use to doing and other days will have new exercises to give you a wider knowledge of what is out there. I hope that you guys all appreciate that I am giving you a week worth of exercises in one day. It is def time consuming to think of workouts and then find videos to go with each exercise. I have also tried to increase difficulty as we are moving on. If these are too hard or you need a modification please message me and we will see what we can work out.

Belinda posted another challenge for tomorrow
"The last daily challenge for this week will be on THURSDAY! It is a miles challenge based on how many miles you walk/run. If they are biked then divide by 4 === bike 100 miles will equal 25 miles. Any other questions?
Next week we will have a week long challenge again. It will be 1 point for each day you stay UNDER or smack on your calorie goal. Each person can earn a max of 6 points for the team....30 extra points all together. This means you have to track ALL of your food intake. "0 -
Thanks for posting this! I read it earlier but for some reason forgot to post it!0

Hi Members,
I wanted to direct your attention to this post about migrating your group thread into a Group using our newly debuted Group feature.
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/390510-support-groups-challenges-please-migrate-to-groups
If you have questions, feel free to PM me. I think you'll find that transitioning your thread to an official Group is a major upgrade in terms of your ability to interact with each other.
If you've already posted an invitation to your followers to join a Group you've formed, forgive me for not seeing it in the thread!
Thanks!

Started my morning with the abs workout. How's everyone else doing?0

I just did mine... It was a little rough, but not too bad. I'm glad it's over, though.
Don't forget everyone to let me know your miles for the day!0 -
I'm so sorry, I went home sick today. I can only log 1mile for the challenge.0

Today is my husbands birthday and I won't be replying much this weekend, we celebrating the entire time :bigsmile: . So, I completed Friday's and Saturday's exercises yesterday. Everyone have a great weekend.0
-
That's fine! I just need to know how many miles you did yesterday.0

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone enjoys today's day off. I've been off line for the last two days but I did the Friday and Saturday workouts. Looking forward to Monday - I think0

Bump...bump...bump....;)
Where is everyone?
I'm half way through the day and feeling pretty good. I lost a pound since last week which isn't alot, but it's an "off" time for me to WI, I usually do Wednesdays. The workout today was a good start to the week. I'm doing my best to stay within my calories!
How's everyone else doing? Any challenges this week? Anything fun going on?0 -

Thats great news that you lost a pound. i will be back on track tomorrow with my burns after the crazy weekend I have had lol0 -
Two days down, two workouts under the belt, as long as I don't blow it I should have two days within my calories too. I'm liking this challenge0

Yesterdays, tuesday, challenge was completed.0
-
Today's challenge is completed as well0
-
I've worked in this building over the last 12 years and believe it or not, today was the first day I actually used the fitness room. I've always had a gym membership and just never used it. Today I went down and I was able to use it for the challenge workout. Things like that (non-cardio) I think I can pull off at lunch break. Something with alot of jumping and getting all sweaty might not work so well.0
-
So I assume this group is done. Has anyone been here or heard from the captin?0
