Actually i found that on the internet somewhere years ago and tucked it away because it also came with the fact that climbing stairs in your home burns roughly 20 calories (one way, up or down). I've retained it all these years because, according to the internet, kissing has more caloric burn than stair climbing. And this is something I can believe in.

Yep, I imagine getting out of pain would be a better mood boost than sunlight. Glad you’re feeling better.0 -

Hmmm, 25 calories per minute would be 1500/hour, so that’s even a better calorie burn rate than CrossFit and most if not all other cardio...
I wonder if that’s gross or net calories? 🤔1 -

Didn't mean to minimize the effect of sunlight 🙂 You do tend to appreciate it and maybe get out into more when you are feeling well or better after pain.0 -

I use straight bar lacing. It’s good for people who have wide feet and often have their shoes feeling too tight. The wide width shoes feel too big but regular feel tight. This lacing was a game changer for me.

I once laced my new shoes upside down (with the bow at the toes) in HS, on accident because I'm an idiot, and my friends thought it was cool and "trendy"
Do you know you don't have to take out your laces every time you untie your shoes? I mean, you can if you want.
