Burn Off That Spare Tire By Taking Up Olympic Winter Sports

Description

Inspired to take up Olympic winter sports? Here's how many calories are burned doing an hour of them. Skating at a regular pace, not an Olympic one, burns around 490 calories for an average man, and 418 for a woman. Ski jumping is also a heart-pumping sport. That burns 532 calories for a woman and 623 for a man. And a typical American adult cruising down the slopes at a race pace would burn 608 calories for women and 712 for men!
