MERRY CHRISTMAS!

December 25, 2008

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you are enjoying every bit of the break. Now would be a great time to express thanks to all of our parents, fans, and supporters of our wrestling program. This year we have had more involvement from parents and fans than ever before! It definetely makes a difference.

We have really encouraged the wrestlers to take advantage of this time to get that winning edge over their opponents. Of course, hard work can be fun too. Just check out how many calories you can burn off doing the following activities for an hour

  • Sledding  = 514 calories
  • Shoveling Snow = 455 calories (ok, maybe not so fun)
  • Skiing/Snowboarding = 515 calories
  • Weight Lifting = 488 calories
  • Running = 688 calories
  • Wrestling = 620 calories
  • Ice Skating = 520 calories
  • Snowmobiling = 244 calories
  • Stationary Bike = 600 calories
  • Wii Boxing = 310 calories
  • Wii Tennis = 341 calories
  • Building a Snowman/Throwing Snowballs = Who knows!!

Remember, you have to burn off 3,500 calories more than you consume to lose 1 pound of extra fat. If you can burn about 500 more calories a day then you consume, you can safely lose 1 pound per week.

Watch out for these calorie monsters! They can add up quick

  • 1 medium cookie = 70 calories
  • 1 small piece of fudge = 90 calories
  • 1 12 oz can of soda = 150 calories
  • 1 piece of pie = 450 calories (shovel snow an hour to burn this one off!)
  • 1 piece of pizza = 210 calories
  • 1 handful of potato chips = 200 calories
