    I don't use a pedometer and don't include any walking under 30 min (like when I take dog out). I figure that goes into my basal metabolic rate. I also don't measure cals burned during my 3 x 1 hours sessions weight training (with fitness coach).

    Weekly Goal: 3500

    Mon: 704 (bike medium to intense + treadmill 6.5mpg total 45min)
    Tues: 370 (treadmill 6mph for 10min before weight training + 45 min 3.0mph walking, not flat)
    Wed: 866 (treadmill @ 6.7mph for 10 + 45min bike high intensity)
    Thur: 242 (treadmill @ 5mph for 20 before weight training)
    Fri: 830 (60 min cardio: mix of high intensity bike and 5 to 6.5 mph treadmill)
    Sat: TBD (likely 2000+ for 10+mile hike in the mountains)
    Sun: TBD (likely 20 min cardio @ 5mph before weight training
