After driving my back woods roads for over a decade, just last week I came around a blind turn and on the opposite side of the road was a woman on a horse. I instantly slowed down to observe. That was a shock to the eyes. I could only smile in appreciation for the simpler times when folks travelled in that fashion every day. Guess I just forgot the way things used to be. I'd love to get back in the saddle (since age 9, at YMCA summer camp).

Andy, I'm back in the saddle after a 33 yr break. The horses we have now are gaited, not quite the horse I had when I was 17, but lots of fun and no bounce!! Pat Doesn't any kind of work burn up 10 cals a minute??? SignatureKindest regards Gary Stafford > Results: Skipped my workout today. Worked out in the pasture with my > horses instead.

That would be 600 calories an hour and there are very few types of work or exercise that will burn that many calories. Hi Beverly Next time you go to the gym you will see that nearly all the exercise machines calorie burn out work out at approx 10 cals a minute, obviously standing or sitting still is going to lower this considerably. Consideration should also be given to your size, obviously the larger you are the more calories you will burn. Hope this helps, unless you know better ;-) SignatureKindest regards Gary Stafford >> Doesn't any kind of work burn up 10 cals a minute??? >> > That would be 600 calories an hour and there are very few types of work or > exercise that will burn that many calories. Hi Beverly Take a look at this, http://www.fitnessonline.com/tools/calories/ even just standing or sitting still burns 131 calories an hour for me at 207 lbs. Walking at 4.5 mph which is not strenuous burns off just over 600 calories. Walking at 3 mph which is the average walking speed results in burning 441 calories in an hour. Jogging at 5.5 mph which is not fast burns up an amzing 1021 calories. Exercise is good huh????

There are exercises that will burn 600+ an hour. I bike @ 14mph for one hour and burn 1,250 calories. My answer was to your original question that any type of work burns 10 calories per minute. Working with weights or low impact aerobics only burns in the vicinity of 400 calories per hour so this falls below the 10 calories per minute. There are probably more types of exercise that fall in this range than the higher range. I just don't want people to think that everything burns 10 calories per minute. > >> Doesn't any kind of work burn up 10 cals a minute??? > >> > > That would be 600 calories an hour and there are very few types of work or > > exercise that will burn that many calories. > Goal: my goal training plan for TdC and MS150 > > Results: Wednesday - 70 minutes (elliptical) > Thursday - 55 minutes (spin class) Wednesday: 60 minutes (Weights - Shoulders) Thursday: 90 minutes (Weights - Legs) Friday: 90 minutes (Weights - Chest & Triceps) Saturday: Rest Sunday: Rest SignatureCheese http://cheesensweets.com/contact/cheese > Goal: my goal training plan for TdC and MS150 > > Results: Wednesday - 70 minutes (elliptical) > Thursday - 55 minutes (spin class) A 30 minute Pilates video. This has been a busy week and it looks as if the weekend is going to be more of the same. At least I plan on doing a short bike ride between two training classes tomorrow. If the rain holds off until late Sunday I'll just skip the housework and go riding <g> Beverly |
