Although I am mostly seated for at least two games per week, I am also clapping, yelling, and sometimes jumping. To burn more calories, playing touch football can burn approximately 574 calories per hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Raking<\/strong> can be a fun or dreaded activity in the fall, but if you concentrate on the calories your burning, it may not seem so bad. You can burn approximately 290 calories in an hour of raking, but if you run and jump into the pile and rake it back up, you will burn even more. Play can be good for you physically and emotionally!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Another way to enjoy the colors of the changing leaves is to take a <strong>hike,<\/strong> which burns approximately 400 calories per hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It is estimated that <strong>camping<\/strong> can burn 165 calories per hour. Camping includes intense activities like putting up a tent, as well as less rigorous activities like sitting around the campfire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Visiting pumpkin patches and apple orchards is the perfect autumn day activity. An hour of <strong>picking apples<\/strong> can burn approximately 200 calories. Plus, think of all the healthy snacks you have to take home with you!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>As long as you&#8217;re not eating the <a title=\"Calories in Your Favorite Halloween Candy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/10\/calories-in-your-favorite-halloween-candy\/\" target=\"_self\">Halloween candy<\/a>, <strong>trick or treating<\/strong> is estimated to burn 250 calories per hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In Indiana, we have the <a title=\"The Hilly Hundred\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hillyhundred.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hilly Hundred<\/a> every year &#8211; a two day bike ride through the hills of Brown County for a total of 100 miles.
