Did you know that you can burn 150 calories by banging your head against the wall? This little fact popped up when I was running around the internet. I may wish to lose weight but I don't think I want to do it this way. I wonder how anyone found out that you could lose weight this way. Another way to lose weight, or so they say, is singing in the shower. So, those who like to sing is a shower can burn 10 to 20 calories per song. A more pleasant way to burn calories than banging your head on the wall but by the time you reached 150 calories you would be a waterlog person for sure. DO you like reading about strange little facts. Actually, they may or may not be accurate but they are fun to think about.

Actually, 150 calories is not a lot of energy. You can burn 150 calories by switching on a 60 watt light bulb for about 10 and a half minutes or an 800W microwave oven for less than a second. You probably burn far more calories working to pay the electricity bill and worrying about it when it comes! This page gives you some practical (and useful) ways of using up muscle energy (and I believe that the figures are reasonably accurate):

It can take seconds to eat 150 calories, but 20 or more minutes of a fitness activity to burn them off. Learn how much walking or jogging you'll need to do.

Thank you for the link. There are many way to lose weight that I would choose rather than the ones mentioned here on the post.

@HazySue Those are weird ways to burn off calories. I had a friend that would bang her head against the wall,but, I believe there is another reason why she did it.

They are weird. I certainly wouldn't recommend banging your head against the wall for any reason. I imagine that your friend did have a reason for the head banging. Did she ever try to find out why she did so?

I prefer to walk fast for 30 minutes than banging my head against the wall. I think that cleaning the shower burns a little more calories than singing while I shower.

I never had the habit to sing while I shower or bath, I am too busy scrubbing.

@LadyDuck I am not a shower singer either. Like you, most of my time spent in the shower involves cleaning.

I would rather do just about anything other than band my head against the wall. The headache would be awful.

As for the singing in the shower, I think it's the lazy man's (woman's) way to lose weight.

You and me both.

It does make me wonder where they got someone to bang their head against the wall for an hour.

I can't imagine using that method for losing weight. I wonder how they found out how many calories you would lose doing so.

Hmmmm, I haven't banged my head in years ..... nope, don't think I'll do that either. As for singing in the shower, ummm, it causes the dog to howl.

Don’t you wonder who volunteered to get the head-banging facts? Or was that an approximation? Or did they just take the readings at a heavy metal concert?

There are dozens of these funny facts but I don't think I'll bother banging my head against a brick wall. I might go for a walk instead. lol

I might gain concussion while trying to burn 150 calories

What about head banging? We still bang our head, just not to a wall. Safer too.
