You definately burn more calories with nickel batteries dragging Ginger home after all the bars disappear. Especially if you live at the top of a hill.

Here's a calorie table.

http://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist4.htm

Notice for a 155 lb person, walking at 3.0 mph you burn 302 calories in 1 hour , Sitting-playing with child(ren)-light you burn 216 calories per hr. Gliding should be in between there somewhere.
