Can YOU burn 1000 Calories in one workout? That is the challenge posed in the new fitness product that everyone is talking about: The 1000 Calorie Challenge. Aptly named, right? What is important about 1000 calories is that it puts you at a place where you are burning off about a 2000 calorie diet through the workout alone, leaving you with a net calorie loss for all your other non-workout activity during the day.
Confusing? Think about it this way: When you work out, you're trying to maximize how many calories you burn. But that doesn't just end when the workout ends! Your body continues to burn calories at an accelerated rate throughout the day. And there are ways to maximize this post-workout burn, which is what the 1000 Calorie Challenge is all about.
Joel and Arnell are your guides and they take you through a very specialized routine, teaching you how to stack the cards in your favor so you can hit that 1000 calorie-burn level as quickly as possible. It's quite possible to do within a month, and in fact many have done it in much less. And since one pound of fat is generally considered to be about 3500 calories, it's not unheard of for people truly committed to following the challenge to lose 5 pounds a week or more.
