So I have a squash date next week – a friendly gym-goer asked me if I wanted to learn squash with him at our gym so we are giving it a go next week. I also tried tennis again this past weekend and I love it. So much so that I’m going to pick up a racket tomorrow and go to the nearest court with my roommate tomorrow night.
Which brings me to my question “how many calories do sports burn?”
Well, this site http://www.fitnessonline.com/tools/calories/ and this site http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/calories.htm will calculate the calories burned by using your body weight and activity choice. Squash is crazy – 160lbs, over 600 calories in 45min. Tennis is good at 400. Take up sports!
By the way, I’ve signed up for a beach volleyball tourni in July. I love volleyball. I play on intramurals (although I have been slacking off in the summer, but come fall, I’ll be there!).
