What Constitutes EXCERCISE?

[Meaner-n-u]

Does it have to be heavy physical activity? Do you have to sweat? How about sitting in your chair at work? It burns more calories than lying in your bed.

Is all calorie burning excercise? Mild, light, medium, moderate, heavy, exhaustive? Do you have to amp up your heart rate for it to be excercise? Some people acomplish this by getting off the sofa and walking to the fridge...

DISCUSS!

DID you know riding a motorcycle burns more calories than driving a car?

Riding - in car or other vehicle: 63 Cal per Hour

Riding in any type of motor vehicle is a sedentary activity that requires minimal energy expenditure. Adding the skills necessary to operate the vehicle accounts for some additional energy demands — their extent depends on whether the vehicle has power-assisted equipment (such as steering and brakes) and the size of the vehicle.


Driving - motor scooter or motorcycle: 158 Cal per Hour

Driving a motor scooter or motorcycle requires upper and lower body strength in order to maintain balance. You will be using your legs to push the pedals, and arms to steer and navigate the scooter or bike across slopes, hills and different types of terrain. This activity burns fewer calories than a typical bicycle ride because of the lower range of motion.



(PS - The Calorie Counter at TheDailyPlate.com has an Calories burned counter - Not trying to hype the site again, but I have found it very useful.)

Sexercise...

"Believe it or not, sexual intercourse burns off 150 calories every half hour. Although the average couple engages in sex for approximately 25 minutes a session only three times a week, it still accounts for 450 calories that are better taken off than put on.If you're more active than average, then that will only make things more beneficial for you and that lucky gal. A health benefit of sex, particularly a rigorous hour of sex, is that it may burn even more than 300 calories depending on how rigorous you get."

so enjoy :thumb:

I guess anything that get your heart rate up for a prolonged amount of time could be considered excersize

Meaner-

You have to MOVE and INCREASE your heart rate! :thumb: If you're sweating in the a/c, it's a good indicator that you're excercising! :keke:

That's not really what I meant. All movement burns calories. If you burn more than you consume you will lose weight. So ALL movement is excercise. Just the intensity varries.

Movement of mass.



Believe it or not, riding is a great way to burn calories. Zip up into a one piece leather suit on a warm day, and your looking at a major calorie loss.

Although the average couple engages in sex for approximately 25 minutes a session only three times a week,



Obviously the average couple has not been married for 19 years....:banghead:
