Calories Burned !!

Here below I'm giving the list of activities and how much calories they burn
Here’s a short compilation of the usual activities that we can do and the estimated equivalent calories burned per hour for your guidance:
Cleaning the House 200 to 250 calories
Gardening 300 calories
Sweeping the floor 250 calories
Child Care 180 to 200 calories
Cooking/Food Preparation 150 calories
Driving 110 calories
Office Work 140 calories
Standing 100 calories
Simple Exercises:
Aerobics 350 calories
Badminton, social 300 calories
Golf 240 calories
Walking, brisk 400 calories
Running 400 to 500 calories
Swimming laps 600 calories
Different activities whether done at home or outside the house result in calories being burned. There should therefore be no excuse that one is unable to do physical activity be at work or in the house because… while doing office computer work, you can stand up and walk to accumulate more calories burned per hour!
