That's Fit

For those of you who just celebrated the Easter holiday, there's a good chance that you have a chocolate bunny or two still lying around. The question now becomes, how long can you go without eating it?

Just in case you had any intention of caving, here are some quick stats that will likely make you change your mind.

A 6oz Solid Chocolate Easter Bunny contains 920 calories. Remember that figure. 920 calories.

To burn that many calories, you would have to do one of the following exercises (based on a 175 pound person):

• 70 minutes of Step, high-impact aerobics
• 70 minutes of running at 6mph
• 70 minutes of jumping rope
• 70 minutes of water polo
• 70 minutes of competitive racquetball
• 70 minutes of boxing, sparring
• 140 minutes of softball
• 140 minutes of walking at 4.5mph
• 140 minutes of whitewater rafting
• 210 minutes of Frisbee
• 210 minutes of volleyball (non-competitive)
• 210 minutes of weight lifting (general)

How harmless is that little, 920-calorie chocolate bunny now?

Nothing makes time fly like having fun, and what better 'time' to have time flying by than during your workout? Finding something you genuinely think is fun that also burns loads of calories will not only help you get fitter faster, but it will make it easier to motivate yourself to get started every day and stick with your exercise routine. Spring isn't officially over yet, so take advantage of the season of new beginnings and good weather and join a league or start playing a sport to burn some extra calories and rekindle your fitness regimen and motivation. Here are just a few sports that will do wonders for your physique, (among other things!):

• Soccer is obviously great for leg and glute muscles, plus all the running around is great cardio for your heart. But what you may not realize is that soccer also gives your core and arms a workout as they keep you balanced, and your hips, knees, and ankles get stronger as they work to keep you stabilized.
