Fun Ways To Burn Winter Calories
If you're letting winter be your excuse to hibernate on the couch, shake off the dust bunnies and get busy with these fun winter routines:
Ice skating: Yes, ice skating counts as exercise! And the best part is, as you glide across the ice, reliving your childhood (or grip on the railing, wondering why you've never tried it before) you'll burn about 425 calories per hour playing Peggy Flemming.
Skiing: Need an excuse to hit the slopes? How about that it's one of the most efficient calorie burners around? It's true. Cross country skiing burns approximately 510 calories per hour, and downhill skiing burns about 374. Feeling frisky? Grab a snowboard and burn 428 calories per hour perfecting your 180s.
Snowshoeing: If you haven't seen one in awhile you may not recognize today's snowshoe. They don't look like big tennis racquets anymore. And, while you treck through pristine mountain passes (or even your own neighborhood) you'll burn a cool 544 calories per hour doing it.
Shopping: As long as you're out hunting down good sales, you may as well count it as part of your weekly activity, right? In fact, shopping can burn 156 calories per hour. Make it really pay off with an occasional power walk circling the mall, shopping center, or main street boutiques.
