DietsInReview.com posted a list of popular summer activities, and how many calories they burn. Here are the top four.
* Water Skiing. In 30 minutes, a 150-pound person burns around 200 calories. And it works your upper and lower body.
* Swimming. Depending on your body weight, just swimming around casually burns between 250 and 400 calories an hour. And if you swim laps, you can burn a lot more.
* Hiking. If you're 150 pounds, you'll burn about 400 calories on a one-hour hike, depending on how steep it is. If you weigh MORE than that, obviously you'll burn more calories, because each step requires more energy.
* Playing Nine Holes of Golf. If you walk AND carry your clubs, you'll burn around 700 calories, or 1,400 if you do 18 holes.
