Drink Beer, Get Slim?

If you sport a beer belly as a consequence of, well, drinking too much beer at your local public house, then it might well be time to rethink your drinking habits. Assuming you don’t plan to abstain altogether, then ensure each trip to the pub is a mammoth calorie burning expedition.

Change the venue so that the pub is no longer local or plan a circuitous route to reach your regular haunt. One hour walking at a moderate pace (dog walking speed) will burn 246 calories, and then hope the entrance is located at the top of a flight of stairs (563 calories). Having finally reached your favoured establishment, decide on your sport; pool or darts. Each will burn around 175 calories and can work the core muscles (needed for stability in each case), and darts will exercise the brain slightly if you start to consider the parabolic flying curve taken during the dart’s travel. A few drinks down the line, consider taking to the dance floor to burn a very respectable 317 calories or impress your friends with a vigorous air guitar display, burning 211 calories in the process.
