'Burn off' Christmas with a walk

Must be too much Xmas cheer resulting in this insanity.

"The public have been urged to have an active festive break, by going for a walk on Christmas Day to burn off the calories consumed during lunch.

The typical Christmas menu of turkey and pudding adds up to 1,500 calories - half of a man's recommended daily intake and three-quarters of a woman's.

The government urged people to take to the streets, fields and beaches and take a stroll after eating."

Traveling a mile on foot burns an average of 100 Calories.

To burn off the 1500 Calories, which is a low estimate compared to the number of Calories people allegedly add to their bodies over the holidays, one has to walk 15 miles.

Good luck with that stroll.

Pack a lunch.
