3,500+ Calories Burned Challenge 4/23-4/29

Welcome everyone to the 3,500+ calories burned challenge. This weekly challenge has been going on for over a year now and it's open to everyone!

This is a weekly challenge to meet 3,500+ calories burned. You set your own calorie goal for the week (even if it's below 3,500 - you can work your way to that goal!). Each day post the calories you burned, current total and how many you have to go. That's it, not too hard, other than push push pushing yourself to hit your goal. Everyone is such an inspiration on this challenge. Keep up the good work for the people returning and welcome to the newbies.

Make it great week everyone!!

Here's a daily update format you can use:

Weekly Goal:

Thur: calories burned (how they were burned)
Fri: calories burned (how they were burned)
Sat: calories burned (how they were burned)
Sun: calories burned (how they were burned)

Total:

Hmm -- if you weigh about 90 kg and you jog/run about 7km, that MIGHT burn maybe 500 calories, at best.

So, seven days times 500 calories is 3500 calories.

Another way to look at it - about 50km jogging for 3500 calories - that's if you weigh 90kg.

If you weigh less, you burn far less calories when jogging a given distance, and if you weigh more, you burn far more calories when jogging a given distance.

For humans, walking gait is far more efficient than running gait - it's about twice as efficient - you'd need to walk at least 100km to burn 3500 calories.
