Occasionally indulge at campus eateries?
That’s alright. Here’s how to get back on track.

Don’t worry Emily Pettinger made a handy little chart:

And who says you need the Rec? Try these workout options, instead!

Dancing at Murphy’s 

Calories burned: 315 (per hour of dancing)

Dance the night (and fat) away by breaking out your moves. You could lose over 300 calories in one night.

Brushing your teeth

Calories burned: 5.7

Tell your dentist you have a whole new motivation for brushing twice a day.

Kissing

Calories burned: 35 (per 30 minutes)

Pucker up and lose a few calories in the process by burning calories one kiss at a time.

Walking to the fifth floor of Straz Hall

Calories burned: 25

Elevators are so last year. Running the stairs in Straz Hall is in. But don’t worry, we understand if you have to take a break on the third floor. Those stairs are brutal.

Walking from dorm to dorm

Calories burned: 100 (from Mashuda Hall to Straz Tower)

Who doesn’t love the trek from Mashuda to Straz? Build your endurance with seemingly long walks between the two dorms and visit your friends all the way across campus.

Carrying your groceries home

Calories burned: 60

So in 2045, you can tell your kids, “back in my day, I walked with eight paper bags full of groceries from Van Buren to 21st Street, up a dozen hills and through a tundra” to get groceries.

Doing your laundry

Calories burned: 10

Believe it or not, doing your laundry does burn calories! Carrying those heavy loads to and from your room will, on average, burn a solid ten calories. How’s that for multitasking?
