Exercise challenge??

[Seahawksfan]

Does anybody want to do another one challenge?

I am getting to lazy with skipping gym days. I would love to have others support and encourage each other to keep going. We can start with something small like burning 500 calories in a week or getting in so many miles in a month. If anybody is willing to do it, I will come up with something and a start/stop date.

I will play too. Yesterday I walked the dog a mile, did weight lifting for 50 minutes and road the stationary bike for 40 minutes. Today is cardio only day so I will probably run and bike.

[Forestgalice]

yes, for sure I need the same thing to get myself to the gym.

I'm glad to have so many people willing to join in!

Being that we are all at different phases, lets make the first challenge a collective effort. From now until the 20th, lets try to burn 1000 calories from cardio of any kind. Even though other exercise is importance cardio is known to burn the most fat. You can log on and post how many calories you burned or what type of exercise was done for how long and I will calculate it everyday. If you would like to include anything done on the first and second, I will count those as well. As a team I think we can do this, let me know if you have any questions.

As an extra bonus, you can add 25 extra calories to your calorie count if you ATTEMPT (if you are not able to but tried, it still counts)to do 25 situps, crunches or pushup. If this is easy for you then go ahead and do them and get it out the way.

So we need to burn 1000 calories in 18 days? Cardio only or can we count our walks around the block? Count me in.

Yes, any type of walking, running, jogging, elliptical and treadmill counts as cardio. And 1000 cardio calories as a group, so everybody's calories together. This should be easy to obtain working as a group, that way somebody freshly sleeved does not feel pressure to do too much. But it will take a little work from everybody to reach the goal.

Thanks for joining in!

[Flipflops]
