I’ve found the following interesting fact while browsing the web the other day: on average, every 10.3 steps you take burn 1 Kcal.

So, by walking one mile (around 2000 steps) an average person burns 200 kcal! Let’s suppose the average person’s weight used in the calculation above is 200 pounds (which, I suppose, is average but +/- 15% don’t really matter here).

A 200 pounds person burns 200 K.calories by walking one mile. Therefore, a X pounds person burns X calories in one mile. So, if your weight is 300 pounds and you walk 3 miles you could potentially burn 900 Kcal. That’s quarter of a pound baby! And 3 miles can be done in an hour.

This is a very simplified calculation method, but very handy for an “average” person who hates maths.

People, save money on gas. Go walking to your work, to the store or the movies. Take a relaxing evening walk that will also make you sleep better. By doing only that you could burn 2-3 pounds extra a week.

Facts About Fruit and Vegetable Eating:

When grown in fertile, remineralized soil, Fruits and Vegetables amply furnish every nutrient that we require for optimum health. Fruits and Vegetables were eaten almost exclusively by humanoids before the dawn of recorded history, helping homo sapiens to develop into the superb beings they are in their natural state. Since adopting omnivorous eating habits, homo sapiens have been plagued by degenerative diseases and cruel, destructive behavior. After adopting a diet of raw Fruits and Vegetables, countless modern human beings have reversed physical degeneration, completely overcome many disease conditions and gone on to experience complete physical and mental rejuvenation. Worldwide, the increased consumption of Fruits for breakfast and lunch, followed by Vegetable salads with a portion of avocado, seeds or nuts for dinner, has instigated outbreaks of a new condition known to medical science as “health.”

A common excuse for not exercising is lack of time and money. The money factor seems to be even more important for younger people. In this post I’ll give you some ideas I’ve found on several forums about how a student can save money (enough to buy dumbbells, quality food and maybe even a gym membership). Here we go:

• Get a job on campus
• Buy used textbooks or borrow them from library
• Quit smoking
• Pack lunch, don’t buy lunch
• Quit drinking alcohol (That’s incredible how much you can save with this one)
• Stop eating outside and going daily to a coffeeshop
• Cut down on your telephone calls
• If you use to make long-distance calls, try VOIP services
• Do you really need a cell phone?
• Turn down the heat, lights, tv, etc.
• Learn to cook and make your meals yourself instead of buying pre-cooked meals. This is healthier and saves at least 50% of your food-budget (depends on what you eat though)
• Keep track of your spendings. Plan a budget for each month/week. Don’t buy anything on impulse if it’s not within your plan.
• Use a bike or public transportation. Gas prices are going up.
• Stop buying videos and music CDs. RIAA hates you anyway
• Write down a list of everything you buy and then decide if you really need what you buy. You may be more wise next time you shop.
• Buy a water bottle and fill it up. Never use vending machines
• Graduate early by taking summer classes
• Work your ass off in the first year. That may give you some chances to get a better scholarship
• Ever thought about e-commerce? Ebay? etc.?
• Maybe you are good at something like fixing cars or computers or maybe you’re a good carpenter? Maybe you can fix just ANYTHING? Write some ads in local newspapers like “A responsible young man fixes ANYTHING for small fee”
• Maybe you are smart enough to tutor others for a reasonable fee?
• A part-time job?
• Basically become a bodytweaker
