Answer 1

Answer:

Burning approximately 1,000 calories per week.

Explanation:

Actually, moderate activity is defined as a measure in metabolic equivalents, which are called METs. One MET is defined as the energy it takes to sit quietly. For the average adult, this is about one calorie per every 2.2 pounds of body weight per hour; so to someone who weights 160 pounds would burn aprox 70 calories while sitting. Moderate intensity activities take 3 to 6 METs, burning approximately 1000 calories per week.
