Way to go!

Good job NYNY participants...you lost a combined total of 60.5 pounds in week 3!!!!!!

More numbers:
In week 1, we exercised for 11,405 minutes.
In week 2, we exercised for 12,513 minutes.
In week 3 we exercised for 12,199 minutes.
That's over 601.95 hours of sweat we've produced in 3 weeks!!

We've average nearly 860 minutes of exercise per team each week. Let's keep pushing harder. For every team who doesn't win this week's minute challenge, but exercises 1200 minutes or more, you will get an "extra" prize! If each person in your team exercises 6 days/week, everyone needs to increase their workouts by 20 minutes/day in order to reach 1200 minutes this week -- that is based on the average 860 minutes/week total. Good luck!!

**A side note: It takes 3,500 calories to gain one pound. In order to burn 2 lbs/week, you need to be eliminating 7,000 calories from your normal eating routines or during your work out. The easiest way to figure this out is 7,000 cals/7 days (1 week) = 1,000 calories/day. If you subtract 500 cals from your normal food intake (the recommended 2,000 daily calories down to 1,500 daily calories or less) AND workout for an average of 45-60 minutes/day = 400-600 calories burned, then your 500 calories not consumed thru food and 500 burned in exercise = 1,000 calories eliminated per day!!!! 1,000 per day x 7 days = 7,000 calories or 2 lbs/week. 2 pounds of weight loss per week is the recommended weight-loss goal.

Have a great week 4!
