You burned how much doing what? (Fun with HRM's)

otr12

Ever wear your HRM to do non-traditional exercise type things to see what your burn? What did you do and how much did you burn?

I wore mine to do some mountain driving and the max heart rate alarm went off everytime I got my car slideways. It said I burned 164 calories on a 12 min 27 second downhill drive! Just sittin on my butt burning premium gas and calories. :bigsmile:

Today I burned 3400 calories gardening. *GARDENING.*

Yes, some of it was hard (I had to remove a rose bush from the garden, it was being choked out by a tree - so I had to get the tree, too!), but mostly it was just digging around in the dirt. I burned 850 calories an hour DIGGING IN THE DIRT. o.O;;

I not only mow my lawn (takes an hour), but I mow the lawn next door now that the house is vacant (another hour). The neighbors think I'm crazy, but I don't want to live next to a dandelion patch and mowing is one of the best workouts! Especially when you edge and then sweep up the grass from the sidewalk.

I wore the monitor when I did just my lawn and burnt about 500 calories if memory serves me right. One day, I'll have to try it in the sac and see After all, my husband is always bugging me to exercise!

I always thought yard work as exercise sounded stupid so I tried it today just to see how stupid. I pulled some weeds and picked up some leaves for an hour and burned 474 calories! I was never even breathing hard. I wonder if my anxiety over the spiders had anything to do with it. Guess I was wrong, it's not stupid.

Only 150 calories for sheet fun? I would have guessed more.

You got to really work that fun under the sheets.
I bet whoever is on top burns the most.
