Snowboarding: Get Fit, Burn
Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning
Combined
Snowboarding workouts are
a great way to improve fitness and burn stored body fat. Snowboarding
burns calories, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled diet - will
cause the body to burn fat - including abdominal fat. In addition, snowboarding
helps to develop the upper and lower body muscles, so you get fit and
get into shape.
Snowboarding Improves Fat
Percent
About 45 minutes of snowboarding
burns about 495 calories. In one year, this daily fitness workout burns
a total of 180,675 calories per year - about 52 pounds of stored body
fat. This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percent - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.

Health Benefits
Because it helps to burn
body-fat, a regular fitness workout (like snowboarding) contributes to
better health in several ways. It helps reduce stomach fat, associated
with serious illness; it assists weight control, thus maintaining normal
cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Finally, it releases endorphins
the happiness chemicals that improve mood. These health benefits are further
boosted by a balanced diet.
