Burn Off Superbowl Calories!

To burn off Super Bowl calories, take 100 laps: Healthy living benefits provider GlobalFit compiled a list of typical Super Bowl snacks and determined how long it would take to walk their calorie content off. For example, GlobalFit found that one slice of cheese pizza equals 3,000 steps, while one buffalo wing with blue cheese dip equals 2,750 steps. According to the company's senior health and fitness expert, an individual would need to walk the length of 100 football fields—about 5.5 miles—to burn off a typical Super Bowl binge. In addition to walking, the director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center notes that jogging can burn up to 12.5 calories per minute, running up to 50, and shoveling snow up to 12 (Moisee, ABC News, 2/7).
