wahmbulance This'll move to exercise subforms once it gets attention. wahmbulance

So I have been looking around for things that are not so "exercise" oriented but great calorie burners. Then I was inspired to make this thread after reading someone's journal (yes, I read the weight loss journals) about 'playing ninja'.

So here is some interesting things I've learned so far:

-One hour of pillow fighting burns around 750 CALORIES. heart

-Playing with your children/pets outside usually burns 300 every hour if you remain physical.

-Swinging for 30 minutes burns about 150 calories and tones abs, legs, and arms.

-Shield your eyes younglings. Doing "it" burns 400-700 calories. redface

I've learned these throughout many sites so I can't source many of them, sorry. xp

So any more "exercise" ideas?

I researched the trampoline one and I got one that said roughly around 200 calories an hour. Seems like it'd be more because your moving so much. o_o

Okay, I looked further into it and a trampoline burns 400-650 a half an hour for an average 150 pound women. It burns more if you weigh more.

How many calories do you think I burn when playing outback with my 13 month old niece?

She ussually crawls around the lawn, while I crawl behind her.

So time I tackel her. xd

Hmm, that's a hard one. Does your heart rate go up at all? Is there any sweat or faster breathing?

Like a lot of other people, I play DDR and Stepmania. ^^

But really, there are a lot of things you can do. xD Just hanging out with my friends at the mall helps me burn calories since I don't like spending money (so I won't spend any on food), and I always end up finding myself at the arcade for ITG...

Or we go lasertagging sometimes. ^_^ Even videogaming at my friends' houses work since we normally end up playing Stepmania, or running around, etc... Even on Halo nights, weird things can happen that can help. xD It also helps that I personally dislike snacking late at night, so it's not like I eat anything either.

For me, as long as I'm not staying at home in front of my laptop... *sigh*
