Lighten Up and Get Moving
 How can you burn
off some of those extra calories before they turn into extra
pounds? After thinking about a particular dish you savored (was it
that brownie sundae?), try our “Get Moving! Calculator” to see how
many calories you expend doing your favorite exercise or
activity.

How are You Going to Burn it Off?
Note: Figures are based on moderate (as
opposed to vigorous) activity. A heavier person burns more calories, so the
same amount of physical activity can actually burn the same number of calories
but more quickly. But remember, exercising harder and faster only increases
the calories expended slightly. To burn more calories it is better to exercise
for a longer time.
Determining how many calories you burn is not an
exact science. This number should only be used as an estimate of calorie
expenditure.
