Calories burnt depend on age, sex and other factors. I've looked online and the estimate is approx. 70,000 steps per pound. So, I will need to walk around my house for 700,000 steps to burn this. I also will throw in push ups (not so much for weight loss, but to get my heart rate up, keep my pecs, core and shoulders strong), maybe some burpees (which I used to excel at when I wrestled in High School but which I definitely don't look forward to now), and, some stationary bike stuff.
So far in my journey, I've walked 1000 steps while cooking dinner as my dog wondered if I had lost my mind, hah. So I have done 1.4% of my one pound. Might as well handle this Communist Virus with a little bit of self-health.
I'm going to try to do it within a week, maybe 10 days, because, well, because I want to try. I've made some good changes to my diet, in particular, cutting out almost all sweets, and adding some healthy options, so this is the logical progression while trapped inside except for groceries and other necessities.
Any of you can do the same, even if it's a more modest objective of 1 pound a week, which is certainly safer and more sensible.
Anyways, wish me luck.
