THE TWO WEEK STAND!
The calories burned, for an average male, weighing 190 pounds (86 kg) is 86 CALORIES :brokenheart: , in one hour of SITTING QUIETLY AND WATCHING TELEVISION.
The calories burned, for an average female, weighing 163 pounds (74 kg) is 74 CALORIES :brokenheart: , in one hour of SITTING QUIETLY AND WATCHING TELEVISION.
The average calories burned for an average male, weighing 190 pounds (86 kg) is 252 CALORIES for one hour of STANDING.
The average calories burned for an average female, weighing 163 pounds (74 kg) is 216 CALORIES for one hour of STANDING.

For every hour a man stands watching television, instead of sitting, he burns an extra 166 calories.
For every hour a woman stands watching television, instead of sitting, she burns an extra 142 calories.
I am making a pact that for the next two weeks, if I want to watch television or play on the computer I have to stand!
At the end of the two weeks, let's share how many extra calories we lost!
Let me know if you're in! :happy:
