Hi All......I just read thisin Diet n Fitness Magazine (UK), it's quite scary so I thought i'd share it with you (whilst having a Bacardi n Coke lol!!!)

If you wanna burn off a 600 calorie bottle of wine you'd have to:-

1) Run 10K in 1 hour.

2) Swim 3 miles in 2 hours.

3) Walk 6 miles in 2 hours.

4) Zumba for 2.5 hours.

5) Body conditioning for 3 hours.

6) Washing car/windows for 4.5 hours.

7) Gardening for 5 hours.

8) Cleaning the house for 6 hours.

9) Cycling for 1.5 hours.

10) Computer work for 14.5 hours.

Scary stuff.....I say pouring another drink (it's Friday so it doesn't count, surely????)

    Drinking one glass a wine has a lot of benefits too. I am not encouraging anything, but only one a day isn't bad for you as long as you are making room in your calorie budget. Heres a website that tells you the benefits. http://www.health.com/health/article/0,,20410287,00.html

    1) Run 10K in 1 hour.

    3) Walk 6 miles in 2 hours.

    10K is 6.21 miles. So, pretty much, move 6-ish miles?

    I find this a pretty sick mentality.

    You probably burn somewhere in the ballpark of 2000-3000 calories per day just from your BMR and daily activities. If you put it all in context, that bottle of wine could be "burned off" while you sleep for 5.5 hours.
