Burn 1000 calories anyway you want!
Friday, March 11, 2011
I don't know about you guys, but I have to have choices and variety! I think the "Have it Your Way" campaign, launched by a famous King, got it right. Why? There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to the way we like our burgers, or most things in life. The world of fitness is no exception! You can burn calories with traditional activities, like long runs or classes at the gym, or you can scorch calories by cleaning and chasing after the kids. The choice is yours! Take a peek at the calorie counts below, find the exercises you love, and then have fun mixing-and-matching your workouts. Anyway you slice it, you're more likely to feel great and stick with it if you do it your way.
