Since there were a few of you girls that recommended extending our 300 calorie challenge THIS IS IT! If you can burn 300 calories until Sunday the 22nd you will have burned 2100 calories ALONE! Give yourself ONE rest day. Other then that KEEP pressing play (or) doing the workout that works best for you!!!

(If you need help selecting an at home fitness program like p90x, Brazil Butt Lift or Turbo Fire I can help you. Beachbody is running a trial offer right now for those 3 programs RISK free for 30 days, you only pay $14.95 s&h PLUS you get your first 30 day supply of Shakeology and if at the end of 30 days you are not satisfied just send back the program and the empty shakeology bag - no questions asked) PM me if you are interested or visit my website listed on this groups profile home page (or my personal MFP profile) either way.

There are other programs like 10 minute trainer, Insanity, Slim in 6, Chalean Extreme *my current program* if you would like videos about them I can send them to you in PM. Just ask!

Okay, Beauties!!! Get your 300 in today!!!

xo -Denise

    You sound just like me. I did these challenges for my first month and got into the habit and making it important in my day. Now, I try and reach the goals as much as I can. I always feel so much better when I do. Im currently doing Chalean Extreme and burn about 250 with the lifting and intervals but I throw in Turbo Jam for a good cardio too. I made my own hybrid. LOVING the results.

    Keep it up, I'm happy to hear that awhite92408!

    I burned 407 calories today!

    I did CLX Lean circuit 1, but wasn't really feeling it. My head wasn't in it so I put on CLX Burn Intervals and did most of that.
    Since it was a total of over an hour and a half, my son woke up. I feel much better now that I got a good workout in.

    Well I sad to say that today was my rest day... I'm so going to purchase a HRM !!! I did go to the mall and walked the mall with my daughter for about 2 hours, so I know I burned a little, just not sure how many.

    I have a Polar FT4 also. I LOVE it. I could'nt get it to work the other day ( my fault) I freaked out. Almost bought a back up one just in case.

    Good burn GrammaBonnie!

    Today was my CLX rest day so I did an hour of Zumba for 365 calories! Yay. I love Zumba. It doesn't really feel like a workout to me.

    Tuesday I did 92 minutes/333 cleaning/organizing, getting ready for my daughter to move in. It was in the attic, @ 102 degrees.

    Wednesday I did 10 min. of sit-ups.Then my husband and I celebrated his birthday at the local amusement part. We did lots of walking. I watched my HRM being well in Zone 1 (and into Zone 2 a few times) for much of the day, but I didn't record anything. I'd be surprised if I didn't have 300 calories.15876 steps!

    Today (Thursday) I did 10 minutes of PT homework ... not a lot of calories, but I'd rather burn 42 extra calories than consume an additional 42! Tonight I went to a concert -- great percussion!!! -- and danced as much as I could. Paused the HRM when I rested -- or rather, when my granddaughter needed a break. I logged 102 minutes and 366 calories!

    Thanks, Shaycat!

    My tools are the Polar FT80 and the Polar Active. I started with a FT40, and gave my husband an FT80 for Father's Day/Birthday. His reports gave me much more information, so I upgraded mine, too.

    The Polar Active gives me a shadow, who does what I do. Keeps me more active. (I have long practiced "conservation of motion.") The Active encourages me to jiggle my foot, swing my arms, etc -- MOVE IT!. With my daughter's upcoming move -- into my home -- my life is upside down, getting her ready, and getting my home ready for her and her family. I'm not trying to reach my goals with the Active right now ... it's numbers don't always reflect everything I'm doing. After their move on the 21st, and after their place is cleaned out ... I will go back to making sure it logs at LEAST one hour per day, and at least 10,000 steps. Life is too crazy right now. I'm trying to fit in several MFP challenges, so I'm satisfied with what I'm doing.

    I can't WAIT until my knee is healed enough to do Zumba! I was sure bouncing around a bit at the concert tonight. Hopefully I didn't set my knee injury backwards. But great music, and I enjoy the concert!
