You have come to the right place.
A little while ago, I gave you 10 ways to burn 1 Pound of Fat.
Here we go again:
10 Ways to Burn 1 Pound of Body-Fat… vol.2
The following list highlights activities that will burn 500 calories.
Perform one of these activities each and every day and you will burn off 3500 calories, or 1 pound of squishy body-fat each and every week.
1. Hatha Yoga
Daily activity for 500 calories:
Average American Male: 231 minutes, or almost 4 hours
Average American Female: 269 minutes, or 2 and 1/3 hours
To accurately calculate your individual time:
Multiply (Avg. male or female wt.) x (Avg. male or female time) and divide that by your weight.
Ex. 220 lb. male: 191 lbs x 231 min / 220 lbs = 200 minutes
Ex. 122 lb. female: 164 lbs x 269 min / 122 lbs = 362 minutes
My calculations are based upon the CDC’s conclusion that the average American man weighs 191 lbs. and the average American woman weighs 164 lbs.

Heh… You had fun picking the pictures for this post, I think? #8-D

Too much fun.
Except that I spent almost 2 hours searching for the ‘perfect’ image – I think that I just discovered some latent OCD tendencies.

Could you clarify which style of guitar playing, specifically? I mean, medically?
Great list DR. And yeah, erm, I can only imagine the pics you rejected.
September 5, 2008 at 2:01 pm
LOVE the pictures – my favorite 3 are: walking the dog, bird watching, and of course – the fat.

@Metroknow – certainly not air guitar, I’m pretty sure I burn more than 100 cals / hour playing that!

Oh… my…. god…. people actually use that ‘dog-snuggle’ in my area (damn condos!), it’s even funnier when our dogs try to chase those dogs.

Seriously?
I thought that picture was a joke.
It’s like a utility belt for yuppie empty-nesters.

We’re looking at sitting around a campfire, drinking beers and eating marshmallows kind of guitar playing.
I’m sure that the Pete Townsend version melts off the blubber quicker.

yeah, seriously. I’m not proud of it, but ever since the condo’s went up we’ve got more and more people on the waterfront with doggie strollers and doggie snugglers. So that you can walk your dog without getting it’s precious feet dirty.
