If you’re a really responsible adult who’s already bought Halloween candy for trick-or-treaters, good for you! But having all those itty bitty candy bars in the house also makes it so easy to talk yourself into snacking on one or seven every night. The thing is? Even though the candies are small, those calories add up quickly. I'll tell you just how quickly, but be warned – it might make you want to rethink reaching into your trick-or-treater stash for that 12th Reese’s peanut butter cup.
So let’s talk jumping jacks. A minute of vigorous jumping jacks, which is about 60, burns nine calories. That sounds like a lot of work to burn off an uncontrollable Reese’s habit. This is how long it takes to burn off one fun-size of these popular candies (calculations based on a 150-pound woman, so guys you may want to add another 100 or so to the number!)
- 3 Musketeers - 63 calories, 420 jumping jacks, or seven minutes worth.
- 100 Grand - 95 calories, 634 jumping jacks, or doing them for 10 minutes 30 seconds.
- Almond Joy - 80 calories, 534 jumping jacks, or eight minutes 54 seconds of them.
- Butterfinger - 85 calories, 567 jumping jacks, or nine minutes 24 seconds worth.
