» Beware! Up for a Mini Challenge?

Posted by Andre on 27 Apr 2006 | Tagged as: Exercise

Out local gym has Life Fitness X9i Elliptical Trainers. It’s what I use most days.

Anyway…

I’ve been trying to achieve this particular mini-challenge for the past few months. Today I finally did it. Maybe it was the Boot Camp training last night that’s confused my poor body. LOL!

The Mini-Challenge

300 calories in 20 minutes

The Rules

There is none. Choose any program, any level, any speed… just try and burn 300 calories in 20 minutes.

The best I’ve done in the past is like 294… once 298 calories in 20 minutes… but today… I did 322 calories

I guess any elliptical trainer will do. See how well you can do…

My gym also has the Lifefitness Eliptical and I really like them. Now I don’t know that it is really possible to burn 300 calories in 20 minutes without killing myself. Those at a lower weight would have a harder time - as more weight burns more calories. Anyway, I’ll try it tomorrow and see how it goes.
