John K Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 After an hours taz about tonight I got home properly tired. This made me wonder, driving a Westie is not like getting into your S class and waking up in Switzerland. Can we count a potter / taz / blat as cardio vascular exercise and eat a few extra pies to compensate for lost energy? And you're usually cold which must burn a few as well... Quote
Blatman Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 If you're cold you're not working hard enough which means you're not driving fast enough Quote
DonPeffers Posted August 8, 2017 Posted August 8, 2017 I can't comment on the accuracy but love the phrase 'captaincalculator' https://captaincalculator.com/health/calorie/calories-burned-driving-calculator/ Quote
pistonbroke Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Apparently , best way to burn calories off using public transport is by pulling a rickshaw Quote
B.RAD Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 Raised heart rate, perspiration, increased muscular tension - all signs of aerobic exercise, so I'll go with yes! Quote
SootySport Posted August 11, 2017 Posted August 11, 2017 I use more calories just getting in the thing and faffing with the belts, after that the driving is relaxing. Quote

DonPeffers Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 Thread revival. I noticed http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/41416402 Lewis Hamilton: Could a vegan diet hamper his 'racing edge'? which wonders if he could lose his aggression in the F1 title race because of the diet change. Also the article says 1500 Kcal used on race day by F1 drivers. So I guess I burn about 100 Kcal on my westie runs. Quote

For Fluffies Sake... So now he is a Diamond earring wearing, need time with my piano, vegan F1 driver..? What must the champions of the past be thinking in the great pit line in the sky (as they slap each other with raw steaks and poop in each others helmets) Quote
