Not that I would wish to exercise my way thin…. I’m waaaaay too lazy!
But thought I would share Paul’s recent statistics on an app he has. It’s really quite fascinating, so thought I would share.
- Days using Health (the app): 146
- Steps: 1,008,633 (impressive)
- Calories burned: 47,761 (even more impressive!)
- Distance: 906km (OMG – he walked and jogged that?)
- Approx 21.5 marathons (I mean, I like watching the runs)
How about that for some incredible stats!!! Go Paul – amazing, considering this has only been since May!
Over 1,000,000 steps in 146 days!
Now for the shocker – All that hard work is equivalent to 87 egg and bacon baps… and that’s without sauce!
Most of us know it’s around an 80% healthy food /20% exercise split to try and achieve our healthy lifestyle goals, but I just couldn’t get my head around the fact that we can walk for well over a million steps, but that if I had an egg and bacon bap every other day, there would be no weight loss for all that effort!
A good point though, if eating healthily and nutritionally, apparently 3,500 calories is the equivalent to 1lb of weight loss (there is some dispute on this), so with good food and the steps, the step count part of weight loss would be over 13lb! Unfortunately, I can’t use Paul to demonstrate this, as until only a few weeks ago, he was only ever on a healthy eating programme when I had my beady eye on him!
I would love to know your comparisons, please do comment 🙂
Trying to lose!
