How Many Calories Did You Burn?
Face it. Stacking firewood is a satisfying chore. You turn the chaos of a pile loose wood into a nice orderly stack that you'll admire every time you pass it. You prepare your home for the cold winter, and in the back of your mind, you're saying, I can eat that chocolate pie tonight, because I'm burning some serious calories. Now that's a Grand Slam in my book.
Burning calories stacking is true enough, but this calculator will actually give you a good estimate. Just enter the size of the stack and your weight, and the calculator will tell you approximately how many calories you burned. Your weight matters, because bigger people burn more calories. The estimate is based on 90 minutes to stack a cord and following calorie profile:
- 300 calories per hour if weight under 130 lbs
- 375 calories per hour if weight between 130 and 180 lbs
- 445 calories per hour if weight over 180 lbs
