Today’s indoor rowing was similar to yesterday’s. I preset the distance to 1/2 marathon (21,097 meters) and rowed for an hour, then changed the pace and finished a few minutes later… without going the entire half marathon distance.
Because the average pace for the hour was faster than yesterday, the result was that I rowed a shorter distance but worked harder and burned more calories during that shorter distance.
The rate of calories burned per hour was about 774/hour. After the rowing session, I treated myself to 145 calories of Budweiser, according to this search result: “A 12-ounce bottle of Budwesier beer contains 145 calories. Active adults generally require between 1,800 and 2,200 calories a day, according to the National Strength and Conditioning Association. A 12-ounce bottle of Budweiser contains 10.6 g of carbohydrates and 1.3 g of protein.”
Beer contains protein???!!! Until today, I had assumed it only contained calories and zero protein.
Happy calorie burning to you.
