    On my first date with my wife, we had to stop by her house for a moment to pick a bathing suit up. I followed her to her room and was standing there as she went through her dresser looking for a suit. I looked up and saw an industrial sized hook in the ceiling. Above the bed. Not the right location for a hanging plant and much too sturdy.

    My curiosity got the better of me. I asked her about it. She didn't flinch when she told me it was for a swing.

    I proposed to her 6 weeks later. Still hang it up from time to time. Very pleasant way to burn calories.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: My man asked for one of these....


    They are fun stuff!!!!

    200 calories an hour approximately.

    I'd love to see that on an HRM!

    Calorie Count question: How many calories do you burn swinging on a playground swing? About 150 for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how hard you swing.

    <_< Good to know I'm not the only one, I guess, haha!

    As for the REAL question: as fun as swinging (on a swingset!) may be, I doubt it's a good way to burn calories. If our park had any swings, I'd do a test run with my HRM, but it's just a big playground.

    So what? You burn about 100 calories per hour just sitting at your desk.

    Thank you, very few people who answered my question. (:

    For the record it's not false advertisement. You're just all very naughty people.
