ideas for burning 500+ calories...

ChloeEliizabeth

I've set myself a goal today. I want to burn atleast 500 calories and I want some new and exciting ideas for what to do.

For me, a 30 minute run would be my choice. Not exactly new and exciting, but it's what I do.

I spin class can be a fun way, maybe a boot camp class.

I was thinking about a run but the pollen count is high and I'm asthmatic, so it makes running quite difficult!

I was going to suggest one of the following:

a five mile run
swim for 50 minutes breastroke
a five mile walk at 4mph
a two hour cycle ride
two hours weights

Do you have a pedometer? Apparently 10,000 steps a day burns 500 calories (I wouldn't count on it to much but increasing walking is always a good thing in general)

Maybe do a combination. I work on a military installation and where I do my trail runs, the Army GIs are always walking/running with weighted backpacks.
