So if you haven't already heard, our first mini challenge is...

BURN A POUND!

We've all got to aim for a total calorie burn of 3500 this week - which is the equivalent to a pound! So make sure you log every workout so you can tot it up come the end of the week.

Some high burn workout suggestions are:

Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred - a high intensity 30 minute workout that burns about 250 cals
Zumba - lots of fun and melts about 500 cals an hour
Kettlercise - strength and cardio are a winning combo, resulting in a whopping 800 cals an hour!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep us updated here with how you're all getting along :)

Go get it guys!! xx

    I plan to take the bike to work today. That should help me make up for not exercising Monday.
    How do we count weeks by the way, starting on July 1st or on Monday?
