Need To Work Off Some Extra Calories?

July 5, 2011 By Penny Klatell, PhD, RN Leave a Comment

According to Health Day TV there are some great outdoor ways to burn off a few of those extra calories you consumed – perhaps the ones left over from an indulgent 4th of July barbecue.

For each hour of activity (caloric burn varies somewhat with your size and effort):

  • Golf, walking with your clubs:  330 calories
  • Leisurely bicycling under 10 miles per hour:  290 calories
  • Bicycling over 10 miles per hour:  590 calories
  • Leisurely walking:  280 calories
  • Jogging at a 12 minute per mile pace:  590 calories
  • Swimming slow freestyle laps:  510 calories
  • Hiking:  370 calories
  • Yard work:  330 calories
