Did you know that the average amount of calories in one of those tasty little Halloween treats is approximately 70???? That's not to mention the low protein yet high fat, sodium and carbohydrate content.
Now I'm all for enjoying yourself in moderation. If you can't have yourself a treat here or there then what's the point, am I right? The problem is not knowing when to stop yourself. I can almost guarantee that there isn't a single client of mine who will limit themselves to only 1, or 2, or even 3 of these little morsels! If you can stop yourself at 3, that'll be around 210 calories on 3 small chocolate bars.
Go ahead and enjoy them, because here are a bunch of exercises that will help you burn them off:
1.5 hrs of shopping
1 hr casual walking or bowling
50 minutes of light weights
40 minutes of mopping
36 minutes of kayaking
30 minutes of low impact aerobics
26 minutes of jogging
22 minutes of jumping jacks (can you imagine 22 straight minutes?????)
16 minutes of cross country skiing
8 minutes of running at 12mph
So get your butt on a treadmill, pull the mop out or (my favourite) go shopping!!
These numbers are based on a 150lb female. Everyone varies depending on their particular body type but these are a good guide to calorie burning. You can find more useful calculators here.

Yours in treating yourself responsibly,
