Calories?
« on: February 14, 2006, 05:08:05 PM »
Someone at work asked how many calories I burn in a session at the pool...the truth is I dont have clue!? How many calories do you reckon you could burn in a fairly intensive training session? covering about 3Km in an hour long session...

well i am 23, and it was when i was training with the uni team, so it was pretty intensive :P 3km was for sprint work. nowadays i am more likely to do 4 or 5km in a session. sadly i dont think she was interested in dating me  :embarassed:
