Tuesday/Weigh-In
Weighed myself in this morning and am down another 2lbs. It must be all the stacking and moving firewood and cleaning my walls in preparation for painting! Any exercise is good as long as you move. This week I have managed to walk 9kms so far, even though my foot is still sore, it seems to get better as it warms up and gets worked in.
Found some easy ways to burn calories:
For a 150-pound person, doing these exercises will burn about 150 calories.
Walking 1.5 km at a pace of 15 to 20 minutes per km
Swimming laps for 20 minutes
Bicycling for 30 minutes
Running 1.5 km at a pace of 10 minutes per km
Climbing stairs for 15 minutes
Raking leaves for 30 minutes
Playing basketball for 15 to 30 minutes
Playing volleyball for 45 to 60 minutes
Gardening for 30 to 45 minutes
Jumping rope for 15 minutes
Dancing for 30 minutes
Plus for those of us living in a snowy climate we can add snow shovelling to that list.
The more intense you work out, it will take less time to burn the calories, or the more calories you will burn in the same amount of time! Pick one and try it out today!
