Curling burns more calories than sex.
Just in time for the weekend best characterized by gluttonous consumption of turkey and pie, here’s some heartening news:
According to About.com:Health, one hour of curling burns 272 calories, the approximate equivalent of a Snickers bar. The same site suggests that vigorous sexual activity burns 102 calories per hour, the amount of energy in three and a half carrots.
Can this be right? I think a well controlled experiment to test this hypothesis is in order.
People have vigorous sex for an hour? I need to work out, I guess….
