12-25-15 HY: Ping Pong + Badminton.
It's Xmas!!! So today was a different type of workout.
My daughter loves playing sports at the park and she is very into badminton at the moment. We wanted to play badminton for 2 hours, but there were no 2 hour slots open so instead, we went with an hour of ping pong, and an hour of badminton. My wife also decided to come and play. Unfortunately, my son had school so he didn't come.
The hour of ping pong went by very fast. Lots of smashes, lots of rallies, and lots of laughs to go along with it. I wasn't expecting to burn that many calories. I ended up burning only around 300kcals on the hour.
Badminton was a different story. My daughter got tons better since the last time we played and this time, there was no taking it easy on her. The game we played actually went back and forth a lot going into extra points to finish. I was sweating a ton and my legs were aching from the punishment. But again, lots of fun and laughs!
In the end, I torched a solid 800+kcals on the day. Fun kind of workout!
