Since celebrating Memorial Day for many people in the U.S. involves barbequing or getting together with friends I figured I could help offset some of those extra calories with a few activities you could do to keep you moving.

Plus, with it being nice weather in the majority of the country today it’s a great day to get outside and play around with family and friends. Be sure to check out the list below for some fun calorie burning activities you could do as a group. This list also shows you how many calories you’d burn over the course of 60 minutes.

Volleyball – 219
Badminton – 327
Frisbee – 218
Ultimate Frisbee – 581
Playing catch with football – 183
Soccer match – 509
Walking briskly – 363
Shooting baskets – 327
Leisurely bicycling – 489

Have a great Memorial Day and if you can think of any other fun calorie burning activities I’d like to read them in the comment section below!
