I have thick, curly hair that I was told to comb with my fingers in the shower. It takes a while.
Perhaps a brazilian is on order?
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
OP I have curly thick hair too (see pic) and it doesn't take me that long :noway: I think I'd kill myself if I had to stay in that long0 -
This is a great question.0

Well, it depends on whether i'm alone or not.0

I think most HR monitors aren't to be used for accuracy below a certain heart rate so check your manual.0

I don't think it's such a ridiculous question... I've got meter long hair (almost 44 inches I believe), and it's quite some work to wash it, get knots and other crap out and finally dry it. But, meh, I guess you can still count that as daily activity :P
I have long hair. I have curly hair at that. If it took me THAT long daily, I would hack it all off.0 -
When do you actually have time to workout with all that shampooing going on?0

All I know is I get a major calorie burn whenever I flat iron my luscious locks.
I get burns from flat-ironing, too, but they aren't the caloric kind. :sad:0 -
Just wondering: Is this a serious question? If yes I will just say OMG. I think you burn more calories while pushing on the toilet.
Lol. I tend to agree. Maybe eating some foods like rice or parmezan to make transit a bit harder might also help burn more calories. But seriously, hygiene is not supposed to be a work out.0 -
Lol, I had a gym member come up to me once and said she did her squats in the shower because at least this way the sweat was washed off!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

10. "They" said so.0

I ask because I usually spend 45-1hr+ in the shower and it taking longer times than other people around me. Just curious that's all. =P
OMG. I just hope you do a little of apology to Mother Earth--and the people of the third world-- for the crazy amount of water and energy it takes to keep you clean.0 -

It burns the same amount as going to mass.0

Saying you burn calories while taking a shower is like saying a cheeseburger wasn't the cause of your jeans ripping. Sorry.0

Don't know why everyone was so negative about this. You burn calories even when you're doing the simplest of activities like vacuuming or playing the piano. Obviously, you burn a larger number of calories the more intense the exercise, but that's not to say that taking a shower does not also burn calories, albeit less.
This link has some wonderful information with great explanations.
