Monday, April 7th, 2008

Hi Guys

I was reading a great health mag today and found some interesting stuff on activities and how many kilojoules they burn. . .

Knowing the calories that exercises you love burn is a great way to keep on track with your weight loss.

Bear in mind that the calories burned will vary depending on your weight - the heavier you are the more you will burn. With this in mind here are some of the activities I managed to find:

Calories Burnt Per Hour

Sex (moderate) = 52 calories

Sex (vigorous) = 100 calories

Walking = 155 calories

Spinning Class = 461 calories

Aerobics = 391 calories

Badminton = 296 calories

Belly Dancing = 295 calories
