How Much Exercise Does It Take To Burn Off Those Super Bowl Snacks

Super Bowl Snacks

We overeat more during the Super Bowl that we do at Thanksgiving! Hours of mindless grazing as we keep our eyes on the game and not on our plates can be the downfall of our diets.

Americans will eat 11.2 million pounds of potato chips, 8.2 million pounds of tortilla chips and 4.3 million pounds of pretzels, according to the Calorie Control Council. Plus, we’ll consume 1.23 billion chicken wings (12.3 million fewer than last year, though, according to Business News Daily), 111 million gallons of beer and 4.4 million pizzas, according to the Wall Street Journal.

How much exercise  would it take a 150-pound person to burn off  1,200 calories of Super Bowl snacks during the game?

Seven hours of yoga, a three-hour hike of walking at a moderate pace for  nearly 5 hours to burn 1,200 calories this way.

If you’d rather hit the dance floor it would take you nearly four hours to burn 1,200 calories.

Let’s Dance: US Goes Wild for Gangnam Style!

Gangnam Style really is everywhere lately! Last week, rapper PSY made an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to show The X Factor judge Britney Spears how to perform his signature moves, and tonight, Gangnam Style took center stage for a sketch during Saturday Night Live‘s season premiere

Gangnam Style (강남 스타일) is a 2012 dance pop single written and performed by Korean pop singer Park Jae Sung, better known by his stage name PSY. Since the release of the song and its highly entertaining music video in mid-July 2012, the video has gained more than 8 million views in the span of two weeks and spawned numerous parodies and copycat dance videos on YouTube.

The song “Gangnam Style” was written and recorded as the title single of the sixth studio album PSY 6 (Six Rules), Part 1 by Korean singer PSY, who is best known for his quick-witted sense of humor and comical dance moves. The song was released on July 15th, 2012, along with the music video which made its online debut via PSY’s official YouTube channel on the same day.
