I've been doing this side stepper "skating?" simulation machine at my school gym for several weeks.  Its a fast calorie burner.  Usually I can only do 20 minutes, burning about 350 calories.  At the 20 mark, I am usually driping sweat and ready to sleep of exhaustion :).  Several days ago, I wanted to take a complete leap of faith and see if I could go longer.  I set the goal to 1000 calories, saying I could stop whenever I wanted to.  I hit the 1000 calorie mark in 50 minutes.  It wasn't as hard as I expected, no harder than the 20 minute workout in terms of how exhausted I was after.  I've been doing that goal for 2 days now.  We'll see if I can do it again today!!!
