Today is Superbowl Sunday. It is an annual event that is to junk food what turkey is to Thanksgiving.
It is expected that Americans will consume over 11 million pounds of potato chips, 8 million pounds of tortilla chips and more than 4 million pounds of pretzels. Add in 1.24 billion chicken wings, 4.4 million pizzas and 111 million gallons of beer. No word on guacamole and bean dip consumption.
The average person will consume 1200 calories during the game. That’s alot of calories.
What would it take to burn off the day’s excess?
Actually playing football instead of just watching it could torch the entire amount in two hours. Walking it off could take 5 hours, but a moderately paced run could burn them off in two. A good spinning class or 3 could solve the problem in about 2 1/2 hours.
Taking a relaxing yoga class could help you come to terms with your indulgence, and work it off if you are willing to practice for 7 hours straight.
Or you could just enjoy the game and go back to healthy eating tomorrow.
