Start Walking, You've Got Some Ice Cream To Burn Off

Get in my belly ice cream sandwich!
A friend recently introduced me to these fabulous frozen coconut and chocolate bars and I've been eating them for breakfast, lunch and dinner (hey, it's summer right?). At the same time, I've upped my exercise regimen to account for this. How did I know how much more exercise was required to burn off an ice cream bar versus my usual meal? I used the Living Streets Ice Cream Calculator. Try it yourself and see how far you'll have to walk to burn off a drumstick. Or a creamsickle. Or a regular popsickle. Living Streets is a British website so some of the names of the treats are different, but the illustrations give you a good idea what you're dealing with.
