4、re, I am allowed out.A couple of hours after my bath I have a light meal. Since we want to see how having a hot bath compares with exercise, we repeat the experiment.So whats the result?“One of the first things that we were looking at，”Steve says, “is the energy expenditure(消耗) while youre in the ho
5、t bath and what we found was an 80% increase in energy expenditure just as a result of sitting in the bath for the course of an hour.”This is nothing like as many calories as cycling for an hour(which comes out at an average of 630 calories), but we do burn 140 calories, the equivalent of a brisk 30
