Want to know how long you'll need to dance to burn off that slab of
Christmas ham or how much time you should spend walking to work off
that piece of pecan pie?  Here are a few examples:

_Six ounces of honey-glazed ham -- 26 minutes swimming.

_Four bite-size mini pizzas -- 23 minutes running.

_A cracker with cheese -- 8 minutes bike riding.

_A candy cane -- 19 minutes of yoga.

_A slice of fruitcake -- 55 minutes of dancing

_One small slice of pecan pie -- 54 minutes of biking. Or 1 hour of
swimming.  A 1-hour, 11-minute run.  Or 2 hours and 10 minutes of
walking.  Or 2 hours and 51 minutes of yoga.
