3 Activities to Burn Calories in the Great Outdoors

Take your fitness routine outside! Here are three activities you can add to your week for fun with friends/family and calorie burning to reach your health goals.

Calories burned for each of these warm-weather activities:

Freestyle Fitness – Swim laps

Take you kids to the pool and swim laps while they play. Swimming works the entire body, toning your chest, back, abs, arms, and shoulders.

Calories Burned per 30 minutes = 238 calories

Start Pedaling – Take a bike ride.

Add hills to your bike route to jump up the calories burned and really strengthen your legs, hips, and butt.

Calories burned per 30 minutes = 238

Exercise Your “Green Thumb” – Start gardening.

Make your yard look beautiful. All the bending, twisting, getting up and down will work you from all angles.

Calories burned per 30 minutes = 153

All estimated calories have been calculated for a 150 pound individual. If you weigh more, you burn more calories. If you weigh less, you burn fewer calories per 30 minute workout.
