Walking vs running.... vaccuming??? How many calories AM I burning?

Yahoo had an article yesterday that I thought I’d publish, even though it’s guessing a little high – it’s going to give you a great idea about how many calories you can burn doing different activities.

It is a great way to see that there is a difference between being busy (dusting, paying bills, making dinner) and being physically active (you don’t have to take up biking or running, just a walk around the block burns 4 times as many calories for me then sitting down to watch TV).  Want to know exactly how many calories YOU are burning?  The number of calories you burn are based on a number of different factors:
Sex – Men burn more calories then women (I can’t explain why, they just do…. Darn it)

Weight – The more you weigh, the easier it is to burn calories

Muscle Mass – Muscle burns more calories then fat (ANOTHER great reason to weight train while you’re losing weight)

 

With our program, you can see exactly how many calories you are burning so that you know how many calories to eat:

The bodybugg program is available with the Armband (where you get to see how many calories you are burning) and, a slightly less expensive option, without the Armband (where you and I have a conversation to come up with an educated guess as to how many calories you are burning – then you plan your incoming calories around that number).

Want more information then is available on that website?  Drop me an Email at Sharron @ SharronG.com.
