1210. Q:
how many calories does playing Paintball burn?
A:
I'm not sure exactly how many calories it would burn, but check out Q&A #694 -- if you are on the move of some sort at least half of the time while playing paintball, then it should be a great fat-burner.
1211. Q:
hi mike im 24 this year and i cant get rid of my chubby look on my face how long do you think i can get rid of it if i have soccer training 5 days a week ?
A:
Chubby look in the face past teenage years is usually due to some extra fat elsewhere on the body -- in other words you need to drop fat overall and your extra facial fat would go away as well. Do you have a bit of a extra fat on or around your stomach? If you do, then working to lose that will take care of the face as well.
Best way to go about losing fat is described here but soccer is a pretty good sport as far as fat-burning too, so even if you did little or even no weightlifting at all you should still be able to lose some of the extra fat through soccer and eating healthier. Eyeball how many extra pounds you need to lose -- typically 15-20 pounds for a young guy with a small gut -- and allow one week per pound, so 15-20 weeks total. Don't try to lose too much weight too fast: one pound per week is the perfect sustainable pace. And don't forget to eat healthier to help lose fat and keep it off afterwards.
