The Caloric Burn of College SportsVideo Description:From ultimate frisbee to foosball, college sports can actually be your key to physical fitness! Don't believe us? Keep watching. Transcript:Your favorite recreational activities could be your ticket to losing big pounds. Here's why.  If you're a fan of ultimate Frisbee, or even just throwing the Frisbee around, you could burn major calories. In fact, a 150 pound person could lose up to 540 of them in one hour of intense Frisbee throwing. That's equal to a can of Coke, a piece of pepperoni pizza, and a chocolate chip cookie. If you're more the type to use that little foam ball to shoot hoops in your dorm room, you're losing 304 calories per hour while you lounge. A dart board in your room will help you lose too-170 calories, in fact, and that's in just one hour of play. Even better than these traditional lazy day activities? A video game addiction! If you're like most college students, you probably spend about 12.2 hours in front of your Wii every week. Play any of the Wii Sports games, and you could burn 4 to 10 calories a minute, or about 200 to 600 calories per hour, if you play non-stop.  This could amount to 200 to 600 calories in a single day!  And just so you know,Wii boxing burns the most calories!  Just think, all this just from fooling around on your game system! Not bad for some serious slacking, eh?  Category:Sports & Fitness/Beer Pong, Etc.
