Exercise & Calories

exerci1The following article is a small excerpt from one of my books.  I hope you’ll want to learn more and let me help you to get into the best shape of your life.

Did you know that you would have to walk 45 minutes to burn off the calories of eating just ONE Jelly Doughnut or 60 minutes after eating 6 chicken nuggets?  To find out how long you need to exercise in order to burn off the calories in a variety of foods, click the link below to display the chart.
All exercise times are approximate and based on 150-pound woman.  If you weigh more you’ll lose more weight if you exercise the defined time or if you if you weigh less, you’ll need to increase your time to lose the calories of the food you just eat.  All times are in minutes unless otherwise noted.
