How to Burn Away One-Pound of Candy

By the end of tonight, you may find yourself with one or more of the following items:

• Snickers:  271 calories (2 ounce bar)
• Milky Way: 262 calories (2.05 ounce bar)
• Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: 210 calories (1.6oz for two “cups”)
• Mars Bar: 260 calories (1.98 ounce bar)
• Twix: 286 calories (2 ounce package)
• Baby Ruth: 280 calories (2.5 ounce bar)
• Jolly Ranchers Hard Candies: 222 calories (2 ounces)
• Hershey’s Kisses: 200 calories (1.5 ounces)
• M&Ms: 240 calories (1.69 ounces)
• Skittles: 250 calories (2.17 ounces)

Added all up, that's just under 2,100 calories. One pound of deliciousness.

Your burn-the-calories-off options?

Walk: about three hours worth of walking will do the trick.

Bike: At an average speed of 12 MPH, your calories will even out around the 27-mile mark. That'll be a 2.2 hour bike ride.

Swim: This can potentially get your heart rate up to 160 BPM. Keep your stroking steady for just under two hours.

Cross Fit: nothing gets your blood and heart pumping like this kind of a work out. Even so, plan on 90 minutes to break even on those calories.

Of course, you don't have do any of these work outs all at ONCE! Nor do you have to eat all that candy by yourself.

That's what I'm here for! : )
