Being tickled for weight loss?

[vsa7a]

i would say HELL YEAH! for best excercise. i wonder perhaps anyone has the impulse, patience and resources to create such a business some day.

I think it's definitely possible!

Tickling is good for your mentally too. Laughter is a great medicine in my opinion

I got an email the other day from a former professor with whom I used to work - and it reminded me that he used to have a lab that was used to calculate the amount of calories spent by the person inside doing a variety of activities.

In any event, it got me thinking - I could actually make this happen - depending on age/weight, heart rate, etc, I could figure how many calories can be burned by tickling alone. Off-hand - I gotta imagine intense tickling would qualify as a "moderate workout" like jogging on a treadmill (about 4 METs).

Imagine the possibilities. I'd quit my job, open up my own Tickle Clinics, help people lose weight and make some money.

Let that rant swirl around in your head.

Tickling alone wont really do much but if you have a solid diet , you do regular exersice then tickling can help

its a great ab workout

Here's an odd theory.....does anyone think being tickled will help you lose weight? All the thrashing around and laughing has to burn calories. All that laughing has to give your stomach a workout. I think this may be a new trend in the diet/excercise industry!

(if any ladies want to try to lose those last few pounds, i'd be happy to be your personal trainer. lol)

yes. i personally have been thinking about this theory for sex in general, but especially bondage tickling. that is intense cardio especially for the lee. not to mention the fact that in our arena its fun and tied directly to the sex drive, its not a chore like jogging or running.

i personally want a controlled experiment for people who have between 7-10 sexual encounters a week and compare their metabolism to people who don't.

If this were true, I'd be a size 2.

professsional nfl lineman go throguh work out regimens that normal people would only dream of, yet they are still the size that they are.

does increased exercise in the form of tickling help burn calories? yes. but with anything there are external factors like your body building up tolerance. if you keep running the same distance the effect wears off over time.

or frequency. once in a year isn't going to help much.

and diet, if you eat 10k calories and burn 4k you are still about 4 heavy.

all in all i think it could help[, but it is by no means and end all cure all.

 

[Bondo]

well, it would burn some calories, and it certainly would tighten those abs....
Hmmm

I agree with the above statement.

It takes 3,500 calories to burn one pound of fat. How much tickling would it take to burn 3,500 calories. Hmmm, maybe I should apply for a government grant to help pay for my study...
