I went camping this weekend and was super nervous because I always tend to over-eat (and drink) when I go. Being out in the boondocks I wasn't able to rely on MFP so I tried to keep in mind my calories which I know I went over but I managed to balance everything out apparently with Paintball! I've never tried it before but omg it was so fun! All the running, squating, ducking, and diving... my muscles are so sore today from the work out i got. I totally recommend this sport as a great alternative for working out... it also turned out to be an amazing bonding experience for the family!

    What a great workout! I never thought about that. I shoot handguns, and I know the rush that comes with it must burn a lot of calories. After shooting, I am full of energy.

    My boyfriend would agree with this. He is on a paintball team and practices and plays for 4-6 hours on the weekend, sometimes more and he's always complaining that he is sore the next day. That's been his sole source of exercise the last few weeks and he's dropped a total of 7-8 pounds so it's gotta be a good workout!

    I am actually going paintballing this weekend and am curious as to how to log that as exercise??? Should I just guess how much time I spend running/hiking and log it as that?
