Lazy Days

I haven't really exercised since winter rolled around. The most that I truly accomplish in a day are 200-800 crunches, which is all good and well... but it doesn't burn very many calories. For those lazy days, I've found some peace of mind.

Most important, is your sedentary BMR, which measures how many calories your body burns throughout the day, were you to sit on your bum all day. It uses your height and weight to determine this (age is less relevant, but why not?).

...and without further ado,

those lazy days

 (I guessed on the average time limit in which one spends doing the following activities)

A game of cards or a board game (thirty minutes): burns 39 calories 

Driving (thirty minutes): burns 52 calories

Hairstyling (five minutes): burns 11 calories 

Painting (thirty minutes): burns 111 calories

Playing piano (sixty minutes): burns 138 calories

Playing guitar (sixty minutes): burns 158 calories

Putting groceries away (five minutes): burns 11 calories

Reading (thirty minutes): burns 26 calories

Shopping (thirty minutes): burns 59 calories

Showering (ten minutes): burns 35 calories

Sitting (sixty minutes): burns 52 calories 

Sleeping (eight hours): burns 480 calories

Standing (sixty minutes): burns 59 calories

Studying (thirty minutes): burns 46 calories

Washing dishes (ten minutes): burns 18 calories    

Writing or sketching (sixty minutes): burns 52 calories 

 These numbers are based from my weight, which sits in-between 108 and 111 pounds. If you weigh more, you will burn more calories participating in each of the activities above. If you weigh less, then you will burn less whilst doing them. There really won't be a tremendous change unless the difference between your weight and mine is extreme (a 100 pound difference, for instance).

Weight: 114 113 112 111 110 109 108 107 106 105 104 103 102 101 100 99 98 97 96 95

Height: 5'4"

Points: XX VIIII

I've edited a bit on this blog, because I'd like to give my sister the option to post her results on the S.G.D. alongside my own (really, I've only taken one entry down). Welcome to A Perfect Fall, Stevi. <3
