I just came back from a weekend trip to the mountains. My boyfriend and I went snowmobiling! We rode about 7 hours with about a 30 minute break up and back. The only other stop was my one small wreck! I felt muscles I didn't know I had the next morning, and come to find on here that I burned about 1729 calories!!!!! OMG!!!! Can't wait til next weekend!!!!!

    Glad you had fun, Chris!

    I snowmobiled in CO a few years back. I thought it was just a slow motorcycle type of ride. Our guide "Wiley" Thought it was funny to go fast........ I mean bone jarring fast!

    I had the time of my life! Good thing I went before I injured my neck, because I would of been in the ER after that day!!

    I hope so. We use the 4-wheelers when there is no snow! This might be a good one to let the hubby have his way on! We have a great time, it's something we enjoy together, and now that I see it's exercise too....waaahhooooo!

    I was telling my husband about the calories you burn and how sore you were and he said well yea you have to control them. Maybe if we get those I can get something that I want. :wink:
