Commuter snacks vs. Kettlebell snatches

April 19th, 2009 by Henrik Flensborg

Another video with Craig Ballantyne doing Kettlebell snatches while trying to match the calories consumed by Brad Pilon going through a Starbuck Frappuccino and two brownies

Brad end up consuming a scary 1100 calories while Craig only manages a measly 50 calories during the 2 and a half minute battle.

The scary part is that it’s sooo easy to consume the enormous amount of calories in a very short time.

Grab a Frappuccino and brownies on your way to work, have the same going home and you’ll be looking at spending several hours in the gym just to prevent weight gain -- each day.

How about doing something sensible -- grab a bottle of water as you leave for work, bring a small container with a few slices of apple or maybe a handful of almonds so your workout can actually help you lose weight rather than just trying to prevent you from getting fatter.
