We all know how many calories there are to gain at tMemorial Day barbecues, cookouts and cocktail parties, but how many calories can you burn off at your celebration?
Leisurely lawn games such as ‘croquet’ are the “slow and steady” side of fitness. Sure, you’re not going to get your cross-train on with any activity that allows you to hold a gin drink in one hand. But a few hours out on the lawn certainly beats the same time spent parked on a couch.
Every little bit counts! Using a mallet to hit a wooden ball around your neighbor’s lawn, croquet players can burn 170 calories per hour.
