Which Spring Activity Burns More Calories?

Which Spring Activity Burns the Most Calories?

April 13, 2010

I am so excited that Spring is finally here! I've been riding my bike, going rock climbing, and hitting the pavement for outdoor runs. While I do all of this stuff because I love it, I know many of you are trying your hardest to get in shape for bikini season. Think you know which Spring activity will burn the most calories? Take my quiz to find out, and you'll be one step closer to a bikini-ready bod!

All calculations are based on a 130-pound woman.

Some of these answers are suspect!!!!! I agree with littlemzfit, you haven't seen me wash a car.

Somehow I think 30 minutes of hiking a moderate to difficult trail would outpace 30 minutes of roller skating.

Yeah, hiking v. roller skating? Um, some of us actually walk hills. And gardening versus washing the car--please, the up and down and reaching and rubbing...the car is going to win over when I pour seeds into a hole, lol. This was probably my least favorite quiz this site has done. Just doesn't seem accurate as the above posters mentioned.

runningesq - although sometimes I find some articles contentious, personally I think these kinds of quizzes and articles are OK. It makes you think twice about energy expenditure doing certain activities, and don't forget some people do come here specifically looking for tips to lose weight and burn calories. And if it makes anyone feel even a smidge happier to get down and dirty amidst the weeds, I'm all for it!

Obviously, you've never seen me wash a car! :-P

You can't really say that a 130 lb woman burns X amount of calories while running for 30 minutes because it depends on what pace they're running.

Sorry, Fit, but these types of quizzes/ posts bother me. Think you know which Spring activity will burn the most calories? Take my quiz to find out, and you'll be one step closer to a bikini-ready bod! So someone should pick x over y because x burns more calories? Lately it seems that FitSugar has been focusing solely on calories -- eaten and burned. There are other indicators of healthy foods and healthy activities.
