Good morning friends! It's a BEAUTIFUL, CRISP Fall morning here in Arizona. Hopefully, it's a gorgeous morning for you too wherever you may live. Today is going to be a quick REALITY check for all you Halloween candy lovers out there. Hey! I feel it's my duty to inform you of what you will need to do to BURN OFF the calories you consume in one of your favorite Halloween candy treats...so YOU'RE WELCOME in advance!
Okay here we go! 20 pieces of candy corn= 1 mile/2200 steps to BURN IT OFF
2 caramels= 3/4 mile/1700 steps to BURN IT OFF
2 Hershey's kisses= 1/2 mile/1100 steps to BURN IT OFF
Small Tootsie roll=1/4 mile/550 steps to BURN IT OFF
Miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cup=1/3 mile/750 steps to BURN IT OFF
Bite-size Chocolate Candy
Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Butterfingers, etc...=1/2 mile/1100 steps to BURN IT OFF
Fun-size Chocolate Candy
Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Butterfingers, 1 REGULAR Peanut Butter cup, etc...=1 mile/2200 steps to BURN IT OFF
Full-size Chocolate Bars
Snickers, 2 cup pkg of Reese's Peanut Butter cup, etc...=2.75 miles/5800 steps to BURN IT OFF
King-size Chocolate Candy Bars
Snickers and all items listed above...5 miles/11,000 steps to BURN IT OFF
Cut this out, tape it to your fridge, tape it to your pantry door...put it wherever you will see it, when you think about going and having a bite of your candy that you bought for the Trick or Treaters but have been enjoying since it went on sale back in SEPTEMBER. If having a King size candy bar is worth the 11,000 steps that you will need to take to BURN IT OFF worth it...then enjoy! But one thing you need to remember is that TRICK OR TREATING FOR CANDY IS FOR THE KIDS! Speaking of kids, be aware of how much candy your kid(s) eats once they do go out trick or treating next Thursday. Cavities and Childhood Obesity is not worth ONE NIGHT of gorging on candy!
Take the time today to do something POSITIVE to promote your health and fitness. EACH DAY counts, so don't put off exercising TODAY because you're too busy and TOMORROW you will have more time. MAKE.THE.TIME!!
I hope I didn't shock you too much with how much you'll need to move to burn off consumed Halloween candy. Some of you may think "oh that's all I have to do to burn it off?! That's nothing!" Remember, everything in MODERATION. Enjoy life and remember the Law of Thermodynamics friends! ENERGY IN vs ENERGY OUT. Whatever you consume for the day, make sure you've burned most of it off. Take this candy info with you as you prepare for FUN Halloween parties this weekend and be sure to workout!
I now need to get ready for my favorite Hot Yoga practice, so take the time today to MOVE and make it a FITabulous rest of the week! Thanks for taking the time to read my blog! I will post another "Fitness is Fun with your Kids!" video next week...
As Always...Stay Fit and Happy!
Famisha :-)
