A minute on the lips...

A minute on the lips...

As we head into the festive season, your canine crusader has come across some research that may have you thinking twice about reaching for a second (or even third) helping at Christmas dinner this year.

According to the experts at GolfSupport.com , they have done some research and discovered how many exercises you’d have to do to burn off your favourite festive foods.

Some of their key findings include: 

  • The most calorific festive food is the Christmas Pudding (305 kcals) taking 1,445 squats to burn off one serving.
  • In second place is Pigs in Blanket (280 kcals), with 430 burpees needed to burn off one serving.
  • Rounding off the top 15 is the love-them-or-hate-them Brussel Sprouts (45 kcals), with only a 4-minute jog required to burn off a serving.

How depressing!
