************************** Plus MINI CHALLENGE this week**********************************
Find a way to squeeze in some "extra random exercise" throughout the day- this is seperate from your regular exercise schedule. or you may push yourself that little bit harder during your workout , that counts too! or do an extra crunch, or an extra minute, where you normally wouldn't.
This mini challenge, is inspired by CruiseCat from a previous biggest loser challenge, i think the summer camp. original thread and details here: I want to thank CruiseCat for the idea !! Thank you! http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/bigg...challenge.html

I thought up some for myself, to do throughout the day at random times. (the calorie burns are all approximate based on my own pedometer calorie gizmo). the getting up from the chair thing, was taken from a post here on this board, but cant find the original post, so cant give credit, sorry!
jogging in place - 6 calories per minute
10 squats - 1.2 calories
getting up from the chair (20 times - trust me you can feel the burn when you hit 20) = 2.6 calories.
The idea is to do some extra thing everyday, whether its jogging in place for a minute every couple of hours throughout the day or before having your meal. or everytime you get up from your chair, you get up and sit down 20 times (of course if you're at work this would be difficult to do!).
