ALTERNATIVE HEALTH AND FITNESS
Alternative Health can be a hit-and-miss approach to healthcare. Not all alternative therapies are effective, or even safe.
Shown below is a list of potentially useful sports and activities that provide lots of exercise.
Listed next to each activity is the approximate number of calories burned in 1 hour by someone who weighs 150 pounds.
The results can be adjusted to fit your own weight.
Here is a safe, multipurpose, alternative health approach to fitness training.
For instance, if someone who weighs 150 pounds burns 450 calories doing 1 hour of exercise, then someone who weighs 200 pounds (1/3 more weight) will burn 600 calories (1/3 more calories) doing the same activity for 1 hour.
Remember, these numbers are always only approximations. Calorie counting is not an exact science, so there’s no need to worry yourself overmuch about a few extra calories here and there. Live a little.
The following list includes only recreational team sports and other exercises with potential practical value, such as self-powered transportation (200+), weightlifting (204), or loading boxes (612), for instance.
Notice that lifting weights only burns about one third the calories of its real world counterpart, loading boxes.
That could help explain how James J. Braddock won the world heavyweight title.
