Lose Weight3 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.
All the best,

Where I send people for supplements
Food first, always. When a supplement is worth considering, the front of the bottle is marketing and the supplement facts panel is the actual content. Two bottles at the same price can differ by half in what they deliver.
My dispensary carries practitioner-grade products, most of which aren’t sold direct to consumers, with the reasoning behind each one.
I may earn a commission on dispensary orders.
