Does anyone know how many calories I would burn driving on a 600 mile road trip with my 6yr old & 2yr old daughters and my wife. Yes, 600 miles. And yes, right next to my lovely wife..... ;-)

    Will this be in one of those newfangled "cars?"

    I mean, unless it's the car from the Flinstones, I think you'd better rethink how you are going to burn your calories on this trip.

    I'm not sure what you're insinuating with that winky face, but it worries me...especially with 2 small kids in the car.

    I've taken many road trips with my kids and they didn't cause any (edit: significant) weight gains or losses. When the spouse came along (I'm now divorced) I consumed however many extra calories was required to stay drunk the whole time. Sorry to say, I don't recall any calories being burned.

    You may burn a few cals shouting at the kids if they're grumpy and fed up after being in the car that long. But it's going to be minimal.

    you can burn calories if you play with your kids like running or carrying them

    You'll burn extra for her beating the sh$t out of you for the nice little jab you threw in. :laugh:

    Is this a real question? Calories burned whilst driving is next to nothing - It's not really exercising!
