Look for a threaded rod with an adjustment nut at the point where the lower rod connects to the upper one. You can adjust the length of the linkage by turning the nut clockwise -- to shorten it -- or counterclockwise with pliers. If the nut is stuck, hold the rod steady with a second pair of pliers while you turn it. Lengthen the rod if your tub doesn't have a stopper and it isn't holding water.
A 200-pound person burns about one-third more calories than a 150-pound person.) So a brisk walk, covering three-and-a-half miles in an hour, burns about 280 calories. When repeated each day, this excellent habit burns about 3,900 calories -- more than a pound of fat -- every 2 weeks.
Walking briskly (4mph speed) for 20 minutes burns about 117 calories for a 150 pound person. That may not seem like a lot, but if you did it 2 or 3 times a day, youâd burn a fair number of calories overall. If you were to climb stairs for 15 minutes, youâd burn approximately 137 calories.
