What an appalling notion! No doubt propogated by some controlling man somewhere with a dirty house.
Here's some alternatives for the more reasonable of us:
These are for a 175 lb person, in calories per hour:
- Gardening -- 378
- Dancing, slow -- 252
- Tai Chi -- 336
- Basketball, wheelchair -- 546
- Walking, 13 min/mi. -- 420
- Snowshoeing -- 672
- Swimming, backstroke -- 672
- Elliptical trainer (just for Sugar) -- 756
- Stretching, Hatha Yoga -- 336
- Wrestling (you fill in the type) -- 504
- and don't forget Sitting, reading or watching TV -- 95
- and finally, Sleeping -- 53
Now, don't you feel better already?
Do you think that watching athletes on TV uses up more calories than watching sitcoms? I hope so, I've been doing an awful lot of that lately.
Peaches, I'm working on it. I'll email you the URL with the best listings. In the meantime I'll take a look at them and try to pinpoint the best places to try.
Later, gators
