Skate Away the Weight
15 Oct
Alright, I’ve got a concept….and I’ve done the research….so here goes nothing.
1 Pair of Black Skates = $95.00
2 Skating Rink Locations = Glendale, and Northridge
3 Hours / 2 days a week = 3 Hours at each Location
The Plan
Lose 10 pounds by Thanksgiving
The Research
3 Month Plan to Lose 20 Pounds
The blue numbers in the following table are the number of hours you will need to skate every day to lose 20 pounds in 3 months without altering your eating habits. You can see that a 120 pound skater who can only skate 8 miles per hour will have to skate 3 hours a day or (more likely) combine skating with cutting back on the number of calories they consume. But if that same skater can kick up the speed to 14 miles per hour, they can lose 20 pounds in 3 months by skating 1 hour a day, with no change at all in their eating habits.
