Marc jacobs slow burn tv#
Especially as a weight loss idea, as most of those 17 hours of TV watching would likely be augmented by 17 hours of TV SNACKING! It's probably just best to burn some extra calories doing an actual physical activity. A 17 hour TV watching marathon would be a very dubious achievement.
So, if you sat on your couch and watched one complete season of '24' you would 'burn' even more calories than you would doing TWO HOURS OF VIGOROUS CALISTHENICS. There are 24 episodes x 42 minutes/episode which is 1008 minutes. Each episode without commercials runs about 42 minutes. RIDICULOUS CONCLUSION: You could watch one season of ' 24' and really burn some calories. This should not be a surprise as for many people that hardly exercise at all - we still burn nearly 2000 calories per day. However, if one could watch TV for 8 hours, one would use the same energy as a one hour jog.ĬONCLUSION: Although many of us use exercise to assist in weight loss, as we know that vigorous exercise will burn calories - SIMPLY LIVING BURNS CALORIES TOO. JOGGING REQUIRES 8 TIMES the energy than TV watching. However, it could also be said that WATCHING TV FOR 3 HOURS would equal the energy needed to bike (lightly) for one hour. The body needs three times the energy for biking as TV watching. Bicycling on a stationary bike with very light effort has a MET of 3.0. pushups, situps, pullups,jumping jacks), heavy, vigorous effortĪs I understand this information, watching TV has the equivalent MET ( Metabolic Equivalent) of 1.0. A person could also achieve 120 MET-minutes by doing an 8 MET activity for 15 minutes.Ĭalisthenics (e.g. If a person does a 4 MET activity for 30 minutes, he or she has done 4 x 30 = 120 MET-minutes (or 2.0 MET-hours) of physical activity. A 4 MET activity expends 4 times the energy used by the body at rest. For example, 1 MET is the rate of energy expenditure while at rest.
A MET is the ratio of the rate of energy expended during an activity to the rate of energy expended at rest.
