As the title says, its a challange in my local leisure center,you have to burn of 400 kcal of on the rower then the xtrainer for another 400kcal then a run on the treadmill for another 400,
Then you have to put all your times together to see to see how you've done, you can do them in anyway you want!!
My time was 62m49s

Sounds similar to the 5k challenge... 5k row, 5k bike, 5k run all in 60 minutes.

I've done similar, 500cal row, 500cal run.
However I reckon the cal counter on all concept 2's reads way over.

According to the exercise / diet thing on my phone, a 10k run over 60 mins burns close to 1000 cals so to burn 1200 over the same period is certainly possible albeit going some.

I found the rowing the hardest doing 5700 meter in 21,42 for 400 kcal
I think the calorie counter is way under for the amount of effort involved!!

Problem with that idea, as hinted, is that different brands of CV machine seem to give different calorie burn results. I guess this is why most challenges go by distance:time.
