I just came from this site and it has the most handy activity calorie calculator. It turns out that Tae Bo can bust out about 1,000+ calories per hour for a chick my size (!) so I'm thinking, dang, there's something to that exercise! It also says I burn about 70 cal/hr sitting on my butt. So I'm thinking, hmm, that sounds pretty realistic. I do some more calcs on how many cal/hr it takes to wash dishes (and by the time I'm done in my kitchen I'll have burned 500 cal) and clean the bathroom and sleep and walk and everything seems pretty reasonable to me.
What kills me is this makes it look like the Precor Elliptical Number — that of the 1,000 cal/hr — may not be the complete fraud I assumed it was.
The thing that kills me is even though I go pretty much all-out on it, it doesn't wear me out. Contrast and compare that to Tuff-E-Nuff, where Mark jacks up the aerobics music to about 156-160 bpm, gives us wind sprints and Denise puts us through the wall sits and weight lifting paces. My booty is still sore from two days ago. I must be vanquishing whole days' worths of calories.
Mmmm. Calories.
