    Yo, sorry I'm late in - it's been a mad week but I finally got myself a job, whoop!!! I have been keeping track though!

    So, week 13 for me. Using my HRM for calorie measurement, with a goal of 4, 200 calories - same as last week :)


    Weekly Goal: 3, 500

    Mon: 637 (TurboFire)
    Tues: 418 (TF + jog)
    Wed: rest day
    Thur: 720 (rope jumping, jog, TF and weights)
    Fri: 529 (TF)
    Sat: 800 (jog, TF + weights)
    Sun:

    Total: 3104
    Left to go: 396

    And for the extra challenge, I know it's sad but.....Busted always make it easier to jog - airhostess springs to mind (don't judge me :p) (just following their bass line) otherwise I find Disturbed are pretty good ;)

    Edit: I'm dropping my goal to 3, 500 for this week.
  • WEEK 4

    Total: 3,352
    Left to go: 648 (guess that means no sunday rest day!!)
    Song of the day: no one will like this buuuut, random dub step mix helped me get through 30DS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-999JL4ygMQ&feature=autoplay&list=PL486DCB8E2C42BF34&playnext=3)


  • Song of the day: Men in Black, Will Smith (old schoolin' it!)

    Love it! This is a great song that I wouldn't have thought about adding to my playlist but I'm gonna now!

    HAHA YES!! I thought of it because of all the hype around MIB3. Any other old school suggestions are always welcome :)

    wow this is a great idea. I have recently started Zumba classes and thought there is no way i'm burning 600-700 calories in 1 hour. but after looking at many websites I see it is possible. Count me In I need the motivation.
