My firm pays for a health screening. Part of the screening is an ECG. Part of the gumph they send you explains about this.

It also talks about metabolic workrate. From what I understand, this is the amount of energy your body expends (pumping blood and oxygen around). It literally is the energy expended by your metabolism. In other words things that have a higher metabolic work rate burn more energy, and help you lose weight more.

Below is the graph that is included in the gumph.

I want to raise the following points

  • All those people who laughed at me for digging holes on the beach. Look who's laughing now.

  • I would have thought sex is much higher than this. I mean you may as well wash the windows.

  • On the other hand next time a girl asks me to wash the windows I'm going to suggest a shag.

  • Maybe sex is the same as washing windows, because one only takes 5 minutes.

  • Lucky I enjoy squash, you burn over 5 times the energy as sex.

  • I can find someone to play squash far more easily than sex

  • Squash only costs me £1
