Calories Burned Per Hour By Various Popular Activities

Every little bit of extra activity you add to your already active lifestyle, burns calories. One flight of stairs, over average, depending on how big you are and how fast you climb them, will burn 15 calories.

If you watch too much TV, sitting way too long, make yourself get up from the sitting position at least every 10 minutes.

When you go to the grocery store, don't look for the parking spot closest to the entry. Park as far away from the entry as possible. Unless you are in a hurry.

And, if you are in a hurry, walk fast.

With just a little focus you can find all sorts of ways to burn more calories and fat during the course of a day. After awhile it will become second nature.

The heavier you are, the more calories it takes to move you, the lighter you are, the fewer calories it takes to move you.

Below is a chart giving you an idea of how many calories are burned per hour via various popular activities.

Water skiing burns a hell of a lot of calories. Imagine what <a href="http://www.skiracersworld.com>Water Ski Racing</a> could burn off. Water ski races can last anywhere up to an hour in length and is a lot more physically intensive than normal water skiing.
