Too busy to exercise over the holidays? Then say no to the extra glass of wine or piece of chocolate fudge…not likely for many of us, so instead work it off in 10-minute increments during the day. Here are calories burned on average for a 150-pound person. (You can find calorie counters/estimates on various websites. I used ExRx. net.)
Casual-Moderate Dancing-66-71 calories
Walking at 3-4 mph-50-67 calories
Moderate Strength Training-59 calories
Running at 5mph-91 calories
Slow Jump Rope-93 calories
Cycling at 10mph-75 calories
I’m a big believer in everything in moderation. We all must find balance in eating/living healthfully and having occasional indulgences. You do not have to gain weight over the holidays! You do have to find balance and get your exercise in, even if it means sneaking it in during X-Factor…yes, I danced during last week’s episode with my 22-month old son. Hey-every little bit counts!

so how many calories do you burn if you swim a half mile?
For a 150 lb. person-225-450 for 30 minutes to 1 hour of casual swimming. A few things do factor in like your actual weight and swimming intensity, so this is just a guesstimate.
