How does your body burn 2000 calories a day without any effort, but running a mile only burns 100 calories?
In: 7671
2000 calories/day = about 14 calories in 10 minutes.
If you are running at 6 mph then you can do a mile in 10 minutes, and would burn about 130 calories using the same measurements as above.
So even at the pace of a light jog you are burning 10x the amount of calories that you would otherwise do sitting down.
