Burnin' Calories - What Does It Take?

Ever wonder how many calories you’re burning while you’re out jogging - or participating in sports activities? Scientists have calculated the energy expended by people of standardized weights in carefully measured activites and published volumes of this data. Unfortunately, it’s often tedious to page through the tiny tables to get at the information.
Courtesy of the CDC we would like to provide you with a short table of common activities and the calorie expenditure of each.
