  • This to me means you're living somewhere much warmer than I am... and I envy you.

    I wish I had flies. Instead I have over a foot of snow. :grumble:

    i'd trade!

    Yeah, it's central Calif. We see up to 115 degrees in summer, and summer lasts 6 months.

    It depends how rigogous you're squatting. Lightly 10-15 calories a minute. Heavily 150 -200 calories a second.

    We have over 6 inches on the ground, but for some reason we keep getting a daily resurgence of flies...hubby has been killing ecery one at night (20-30 flies), and today I killed all, then had more show up. I figured I'd see what kind of excercise I can get for it :)

    Slightly more than vigorous tooth brushing but less than grocery shopping.

    Try those electric bats! It's like playing tennis any way you want!
