Don’t feel like hitting the gym over the holiday weekend?? Check out these great tips on how to turn fun outdoor activities with your family into calorie blasic workouts! Trust us, you won’t even know you’ve been working out!”
According to caloriesperhour.com, a website devoted to calculating calories burned per hour for almost any activity you can think of, a leisurely bike ride with your family can burn between 200 and 300 calories per hour. If you step up the intensity to a moderately tough ride, that number increases to more than 500 calories per hour.
Beach games such as Frisbee can burn up to 200 calories per hour, and an hour of golf will burn a whopping 350 calories.
Strolling downtown and popping into your favorite shops for a few hours can burn up to 300 calories, while gardening for a half hour burns up to 150 calories.
Taking your dog for a half-hour walk will burn up to 100 calories, but if you increase your speed to a light jog your canine outing could burn as many as 300 calories (the same amount of calories in a bar of dark chocolate).
