CUTTING & SPLITTING FIREWOOD. BURN CALORIES FOR BTU'S

Cutting and Splitting wood is a great form of exercise. It's a good cardiovascular exercise and builds muscle. At the same time you can burn your calories to make BTU's(British Thermal Units) in the wood. For every calorie you burn you convert that energy to some BTU in stored energy that is contained in the wood. Burn calories to make energy! Although this is a light hearted film, I take safety precautions when cutting & splitting wood. As you can see I wear gloves, safety goggles, steel toed shoes and a back brace. I've been cutting and splitting wood since I was a teen-ager and have never had an accident. I have hurt my back though. Knock on wood!
