If one looks he
http://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist4.htm They can plainly see that sailing (as RB does it) burns the same amount of calories as bowling! Bowling!!!! Kite flying may be even more strenuous. Pray he doesn't get another heart attack. Knitting might require the same level of exertion. |

Boxing looks good, and I'd only have to fight vigorously in the ring for 1 hour to use 1 kcal? Piece o' cake! They should add dropping and chopping oak trees - I lost 3 pounds yesterday doing the same. Scout |

Based on the chart I burn about an average of 850 cal/day with training runs of about 8.5 min miles for an average of about an hour per day. A little more on interval day when the pace quickens. What the chart doesn't mention is the metabolic impact. If you run consistently (or do any aerobic exercise) at a high rate, your metabolism alters so that you will burn more calories when not running. Frank |

Frank Frank, You may like this: http://www.healthstatus.com/cbc.html http://www.stevenscreek.com/goodies/calories.shtml I have a Garmin 205 that estimates calories burned. It works ok on flat ground with no wind. If you go out and back on the same track it comes close estimating calories for hills and wind. What's uncanny about the GPS is you can review your track of high speed turns and sharpen them up even better. The GPS even works indoors (not everywhere, but much better than older GPS units). |

Thanks. More good calculators. A more accurate aerobic activity burn rate is 887 based on the calculators with a 3256 cal/day for all activities. I've shied away from GPS, pace/distance calculators, heart rate monitors and the like, preferring to keep the activity simple, just me and the woods where I can just let my mind wander and not have to "keep track" I do wear a watch but only use it on interval day. And I only do intervals within 5 weeks of any competitive race. The net result is that I've lost over 26 lbs. over my 12 years of running, very gradually, with the most coming in later years when I upped the weekly distance to 35-38 miles. I actually do think sailing competitively burns a lot more calories than indicated, particularly on the short courses I've raced on the last two seasons. Lots or mark rounding and tacking on short courses in a crowd. I'm generally worn out and sore after race day. And the owner of the boat I race with typically goes into a race shorthanded. Frank |

I come back tired from sailing too and I don't race. There are usually a few bruises and one or two muscles a little tweaked that I normally don't use. My outings are usually all day. A heart rate monitor is good to use for training. It can indicate when you are fatigued and helps keep the aerobic output up. On a bike it is easy to view and not distracting, running is another story. |

I've got good muscle tone and some of it's because of sailing. It's good for the abs hiking out and leaning back on dinghies..... If your interested I could post a photo of my flat tummy with abs better than most men have. It goes to show that sailing can be physical. But only if you stick with the basics. Cheers, Ellen |
