Super Bowl Weekend

As many of you know, this weekend is the Super Bowl. One of the most watched sporting events world wide, which basically translates to: "during this 4 hour time period more people will be sitting on their couch enjoying finger foods and washing them down with their favorite beverage than any other time of the year."


The game will feature the Pittsburgh Steelers VS Arizona Cardinals


It seems as though many of the "professional" analysts are predicting a close game, and with about a 50/50 split when it comes to picking the winner. What I also noticed was many are predicting a high scoring game, which should make for some exciting football.

To make the game more interesting try to do some physical activity after each point scored. A simple activity that will work is jumping jacks.

• Field goal: 3 minutes
• Touchdown: 6 minutes
• Extra point: 1 minute
• 2 pt conversion: 2 minutes
• Safety: 2 minutes

So each time points are put up on the board, rally your fellow viewers to get on their feet and burn off some chicken wings. If you don't want to miss Larry Fitzgerald's touchdown celebration you could wait until half time to take care of your activity, although that may be a large jumping jack deficit to make up.

My prediction is: Cardinals 28- Steelers 24. If my prediction rings true, that will be 52 minutes of jumping jacks and around 500 calories burned.

Feel free to post comments including your predictions, or alternatives to sitting down and watching the game. Enjoy the Game!
