I am currently a part of a challenge that has weekly food and exercise challenges.
Our new exercise challenge begins today and ends at midnight on Thursday.
I earn 1 point for each day I complete the following workout.
I earn 0.5 points for each person I get to try the 4 minute workout.
So, that's where all of you come into play.
Do the 4 minute workout and you will help me earn points and you will also get a mini workout and quick calorie burn for yourself! ;)

**The group member who posted our challenge for this week said she found the workout on Pinterest.com and figured with the holidays and being with family and friends we needed something short and sweet as a challenge for our exercise!

    Quick question, how we would log that? I've watched the video and have wanted to try it, but I was never sure on how I would log it.

    I guess you would log it as 2 - 4 minutes of Calisthenics (pushups, sit-ups), vigorous effort or Calisthenics, home, light/moderate effort depending on how much effort you put into it/how hard core you did each exercise (e.g., how fast you did each exercise).

    The reason I say 2 - 4 minutes is it depends on whether or not you counted your rests in between as part of the workout.
    If you just counted the actual workout time I think it is 2 minutes and 40 seconds but you can only log even minutes.

    Sometimes I log my mini challenges and sometimes I just consider them an added mini calorie burn for the day.

    I have never done Pure Cardio (Insanity DVD) but since you said you did the same exercises but for a little longer and with no rest I would guess it would count.
