HAVE FUN, BURN FAT- Joining your kids in a game of Dog- and-the-Bone can be beneficial as certain gym workouts, according to a new study in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness. Just 20 minutes of playing soccer and dodgeball raised adult’s heartbeats to 88per cent of their maximum and burned 160 calories, researchers found; half an hour burned 240 calories-about the same as a moderate bike ride. The games were more than enough “to produce training effects and benefits from physical activity,” says study coauthor Philip Watts, Ph. D., of Northern Michigan University.
