What about Underwater Karate???😳

[RunForestR Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

surely that falls in the vigorous swimming category

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to RunForestR]

True!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Great!

I would like to add, calories lost and fitness level achieved, after two days,each week spent with, and caring for, small runner in training, ( granddaughter). The routine includes playing, up and down from floor level, walking, ( at least nine miles over the course of the day) , lifting, and carrying, said small one, whose favourite toy.. is Grammy...me!!! I am the best gym in the area

[Irishprincess Graduate]

I think it depends on how much effort you put into some of these activities. I can build up a sweat doing all sorts of other things 😉

[icklegui Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

I can build up a sweat just thinking about work and important emails and meetings and ... wait, that's not what you meant, is it

(Though I wonder how many calories anxiety burns?)

[Irishprincess Graduate in reply to icklegui]

I was thinking of cleaning and gardening 😏

[Hidden in reply to Irishprincess]

You cant burn than many calories in 6 minutes! :o)

[Irishprincess Graduate in reply to Hidden]

😂

[icklegui Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

6 minutes is my limit anyway before I get bored... with the cleaning that is

[Hidden in reply to icklegui]

Ha - of course... "cleaning!"
