Calorie Burning

With the gloom out there today I found myself daydreaming of sunshine and outdoor fun.  I recently read an article comparing some popular snacks to the equivalent amount of exercise a 150-pound (68kg) person would have to do to burn off these goodies and thought I’d share.             

Item
Calories
Equivalent Outdoor
Activity & Time
New York Fries- Regular (200g)
580
Doubles Tennis- 1 hour 55 min
Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte – Venti (20oz.)
410
Jogging- 50 min
Starbucks Banana Loaf (115g)
430
Swimming Laps- 1 hour 5 min
Tim Hortons Apple Fritter (95g)
300
Brisk Walking- 1 hour

Speaking of walking, a recent study has shown that walkers consume less chocolate on average vs. non-walkers, and a 15-minute brisk walk can actually curb chocolate cravings. 

Keep in mind it’s recommended that we participate in at least 2 ½ hours of moderate to vigorous activity each week (regardless of intake!).

    Calorie burning is not an easy task because of the laziness which doesn't let you to be fit again. Eating junk foods have become more common rather than eating hygienic food. Road-Running, cycling and proper diet can ease you to burn calories more rapidly. For best tips visit UK essay help
