Happy Easter Gardening

Happy Easter everyone and sorry that we have not been around, we took Easter off and had a party in the garden that we have been lovingly growing!

I hope you all had a good Easter and didn't eat too much chocolate - maybe you now need to get in your garden and get digging to burn it all off!

I thought that now would be a good time to list the activities in the garden that will burn some fat off (I need it!) - I have not done a huge amount of gardening over the past weeks because we were building a bar in the garden to throw the party that we had. I have planted some tomatoes, 2 palm tress and we have 2 big palm trees coming later in the week.

So, per hour when doing the following we burn:
Gardening / Planting - 250 Calories
Gardening / Hoeing - 350 Calories
Gardening / Digging - 500 Calories

It has been calculated that 1 pound of body fat is equal to 3500 calories. This means that in order to lose 1 pound we have to walk for about 12.5 hours. So don't expect fast weight loss and remember to eat sensibly.


So, perhaps the best way to eat chocolate is do gardening at the same time hehehe.

Get planting guys and girls!
