Ay last, some good nrews for trombonists! The following news appeared on ‘The Violin Channel‘. It would seem that a new study, by ‘caloriecount.com‘, seems to indicate that playing a musical instrument; the trombone, drums and violin in particular, can help with weight loss. Whatever next?!
New Study Finds Playing Violin Sheds 2 Glasses of Wine per Hour
Posted January 1, 2014 in NEWS and CALORIE COUNT
A recent study conducted by caloriecount.com has found that on average 1 hour of violin playing burns approximately 175 calories – the equivalent of 1/2 a Snickers Bar or 2 glasses of wine.
Playing the cello for the same length of time sheds approximately 140.
Drums and trombone provide the highest musical cardiovascular workout – at around 280 and 245 calories per hour.
Good to know this time of the year!
