Does anyone know how many calories are burnt from 2 hours of ice skating? Went today for my daughters birthday but cant find it on the exercise list

    Wow! 746 calories for 90 mins! Does that sound right?

    Only if you did laps around the rink at a moderate pace the entire time. The odds of netting over 8 calories per minute from leisurely skating are remote at best.

    Trying searching for skating, indoor. That's the closest I can find to ice skating. I would also adjust the calories down because most people who are leisurely ice skating don't do the same mileage continuously the entire time, they slow down/speed up depending on the rink, other people/children, etc.
