Get Moving with Dad This Father's Day, American Council on Exercise (ACE) Says
Every June the question arises: “What should I get Dad for Father's Day?” This year, change up the usual gift giving routine and ask Dad to head outdoors for quality time and exercise. The American Council on Exercise (ACE), America's nonprofit fitness authority, says many common summer activities really turn up the calorie-burning heat.
(I-Newswire) - “Encouraging Dads to be more active is one of the most thoughtful and caring ways to honor them,” said Dr. Cedric Bryant, chief exercise physiologist for ACE. “It has been consistently shown that men who exercise regularly are less likely to develop a wide range of diseases and chronic illnesses ( e.g., coronary heart disease, certain forms of cancer, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, etc. ). Furthermore, being out of shape compromises a man's functional capabilities and reduces his overall quality of life.”
ACE suggests sharing the following Father's Day calorie-burning activities with Dad and the whole family ( calorie burn based on 160-lb person ):
-- Set a tee time. Discover the fun and fitness benefits of golfing with Dad and skip the golf cart. Golfing can burn up to 370 calories an hour ( 6.2 calories/minute ) if you carry your own clubs throughout the course.
-- Grab a racquet. Get the whole family together for a tennis game or two. Playing tennis burns roughly 8 calories/minute playing tennis, that's almost 500 calories for one hour of play.
-- Take a hike. Find a nearby mountain or trail to hike with dad. It's estimated you can burn 6.7 calories/minute or over 400 calories hiking for one hour.
