JOBS THAT BURN THE MOST CALORIES
Sitting at a desk all day can be a killer. Literally. So if you want a job that is good for your cardiovascular system and muscles, you need to get up and move. HealthGrove compiled data from the Compendium of Physical Activities to identify the occupations that burn the most calories. Navy Seals lead the list, followed by firefighters and steel mill workers. The list is based on the hourly caloric burn for the average American male who weighs 191 pounds and the average American female weighing 159 pounds.
