Day of Skiing = 2000 Calories Burned?!
Wow, it’s nice to have some sort of exercise to blog about. Just spent another day on the slopes, this time I tried skiing. I haven’t done it in a while, but it wasn’t so bad - nothing broken or swollen, just sore.
I wanted to estimate how many calories I burned - so I tried this Fitwatch calculator I found online. For light downhill skiing, 210 lbs, 4 hours of actualy skiing (not lift time), I burned an estimated 2000 calories! Not bad! If only I didn’t have a chili dog for lunch…
