Crack the Easter Egg Calories


Easter is a great time, you get to relax, catch up with friends and family, it is generally less pressure than at Christmas and you get to indulge in Easter eggs! Excellent!


Have you ever thought how much you are consuming? Are you feeling the pangs of Easter indulgence guilt? Do you feel sluggish?

Here's a bit of an after Easter reality check and some tips to cracking those unwanted calories.

1 Cadbury's Creme egg
Calories: 170
Crack the Calories:
2.74km walk (approximately 33 minutes at a steady pace)
18 minutes jogging
20 minute playing singles tennis

1 medium hollow chocolate bunny

1 large chocolate bunny

How will you crack your calories? Can you get off the bus a stop early? Go to the gym before or after work? Go for a run in your lunch break? Organise some friends to go for a walk after work? Join a local sports team?

Exercise is a great way to release tensions or frustrations from work. The increase in endorphins in your body will leave you feeling great, motivates and will help both physical and mental wellbeing! Tell a friend or colleague of your plans to increase your accountability

Take action now, call a friend, make a decision or get up and go for a walk.
