This time of year is always amazing! We are all focused on being nice to each other (unless you were one of these black Friday shoppers), we spend extra time with our families, and we eat a lot of extra junk food! So how does one keep their figure when mom is stuffing fruit cake down their throat? Here are 4 wintry ways to burn 500 calories and hour.

#1.)  Skiing and Snowboarding.  It depends on how much you weigh, and how tough the slopes are.  But you can generally expect to burn between 350 and 500 calories an hour.

#2.)  Ice Skating.  Just skating around in a circle for 60 minutes can burn between 400 and 500 calories.

#3.)  Snowshoeing.  Not like anybody DOES this.  But if you want to strap on snowshoes and go for an hour-long hike, you can easily burn 500 calories or more.

#4.)  Sledding.  Obviously the actual sledding-downhill part doesn't burn that many calories.  But the rest of the time, you're just walking uphill.  So one hour of sledding can burn about 400 to 500 calories for the average person.
