Challenge : Burn 40 Kcal/Kg of your weight in a week
Well, if calories burnt is directly proportional to your weight, starting a challenge with a fix number would be unfair for the lighter ones. So how does it sound to you... Challenge to burn 40cals per kilo of your weight in a week... if you are 60kg, then it turns out to be 2400cals per week. Hows does it sound and who is…

100 km a month challenge
Hey peeps. Thinking of starting a 100km a month challenge, where we all have to walk, run, crawl, fly (or whatever) cover 100 kms in a month. If helpful/useful, we can then extend it for month after month and maybe do 1000 km a year :) Any takers? Show me your interest and then I will create a group for the motivated souls.
