Working Girl...Burn, Baby, Burn!

So with my new Polar heart rate monitor, I thought I'd start testing out how many calories I burn just during everyday activities.  Today, I wore it to work!

I work at a video store so I'm always on my feet and constantly moving and doing something.  In 4 hours, I burned 969 calories! I had an average heart rate of 103 BPM (I even got up to 142 BPM).

It's so neat to learn these little things, but, hey, if I miss a work out because I have to go to work, now I feel better about it!
