| As
seen on CBS News Saturday Morning's Summer Shape Up
Series! Calculate the number of calories you burn
for 158 activities. Fill in your weight and the average
amount of time you spend working out. We'll do the math
and return an activities page personalized just for you.
Print the activities page using the print function on
your web browser and keep it with your exercise log or
tape it on the refrigerator for reference. It's a great
reminder of all the various activities you can
participate in and use for cross-training to stay active
and healthy!
If you
use the metric system, calculate your weight to pounds
by multiplying your weight in kilograms by 2.2 (i.e., 60
kg x 2.2 = 132 lbs)
Tip:
Try entering a duration of 1 minute then print the
returned activities page out. That way you know how many
calories your body burns per minute for each activity.
Because you won't always do each activity for the same
amount of time, you'll be able to calculate the correct
number of calories you burned on your own. Simply
multiply the number of calories you burn per minute by
the amount of time you were active for a particular
activity.
