Make Fitness a Fun Hobby This week several emails had to do with exercising outside now that the
weather is starting to get nicer around the nation. Many questions were
about yard work compared to exercise and other rigorous activities common to
the Spring Season. I have found that the caloric expenditure in many of
these outdoor activities is comparable to running, walking, and even
calisthenics /weight training. The problem that many people face with
seasonal "hobbies" is that a good part of the year little or no physical
activity gets accomplished. That is where I come in! 1) Cardio vascular exercise: Activities such as walking, jogging, biking,
swimming, rowing a boat, climbing steps all increase the heart rate and
helps improve heart and circulatory functions. Burning calories is also a
byproduct of these activities. To give you an idea of what it takes to burn
100 calories (that's one cookie by the way) you have to walk 30 minutes, OR
jog 17 minutes, OR rake leaves for nearly 60 minutes. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Stew Smith is a former Navy SEAL and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) by the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
