Working out during vacation

Yesterday Ryan and I just got back from a trip to Vancouver, BC and Whistler, BC Canada. It was a fantastic trip! I highly suggest going to both of theses places. One of the best part about this trip was the drive between Vancouver and Whistler. There were mountains covered in glaciers all around with green/blue water at its base.

One of the activities that Ryan and I always do when we are on vacation is go on a hike. Normally more than one hike in a trip. This is probably one of my favorite things that we do together. I believe hiking is the best way to get out and really see the sites that normal 'tourist' sites don't provide.

The best part is that you are WORKING OUT! You can burn a lot of calories depending on the intensity of the hike. Usually on vacation I over eat and over drink..oops. So, with hiking this really helps me keep in check and not go too overboard.

So how many calories do you actually burn during your hike? Here is a calculator!
