Something I read once sticks with me. A mile walk takes about 100 cal. Jogging maybe adds 10 or 20 more. RUNNING that same mile easily doubles the calories required to do the work. It is not "how long" you engage in the activity that matters, it is the duration and intensity that add to the tally!
I recall when K2 and Elan really started promoting the "shaped ski". Everyone said "They make skiing so easy, like power steering".
I could only think to myself "Why is that a feature? I'm here for the exercise, and only feel good when I leave the mountain throughly spent".
So I bought a pair of 203cm K2 MSL's :-]
I was younger then. ;-)
