Here is a fun toy — a calculator of estimated calorie burns for hundreds of activities from Primus Partners, a logistics company. This is part of Fitness Partner, a set of pages with general health information and calculators, described as a “labor of love.” 🙂

True calorie expenditures depend on many things — including your size, your body composition, your heart rate, and your lung function — but this table can help you compare different activities and hopefully contains some pleasant surprises about a health benefit to activities you already enjoy.
