    When I saw the title of this topic I thought "has MFP turned into one of THOSE sites?"

    Note to self: get your mind out of the gutter! :laugh:

    On my first date with my wife, we had to stop by her house for a moment to pick a bathing suit up. I followed her to her room and was standing there as she went through her dresser looking for a suit. I looked up and saw an industrial sized hook in the ceiling. Above the bed. Not the right location for a hanging plant and much too sturdy.

    My curiosity got the better of me. I asked her about it. She didn't flinch when she told me it was for a swing.

    I proposed to her 6 weeks later. Still hang it up from time to time. Very pleasant way to burn calories.

    Poor kid, the whole thread is about how y'all misinterpreted the word swinging, very few people answered her question. In response to your question, i dont think its a good workout, but u did burn something

    Coutesy of Wiki:
    Calorie Count question: How many calories do you burn swinging on a playground swing? About 150 for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how hard you swing.

    <_< Good to know I'm not the only one, I guess, haha!

    As for the REAL question: as fun as swinging (on a swingset!) may be, I doubt it's a good way to burn calories. If our park had any swings, I'd do a test run with my HRM, but it's just a big playground.
