Time for another one-question pop quiz! With summer right around the corner, which platinum pop star’s hobby is best for shaping up?

a) golf addict JT

b) treadmill newbie Britney

c) adventurous ocean-paddler Pink

Place your bets…

The answer is:

a) Justin. Even though the other two are probably working up more of a sweat.

Here’s the breakdown:

Pink has been spotted kayaking with workout buddy Bail Ling, but her new watersport only clocks in at 285 calories per hour.

Pink’s sometimes-nemesis, Britney, gets the best value at 600 calories per hour (assuming she runs a fairly average 10-minute mile).

And Brit’s ex—and Pink’s former tourmate, although I’m not sure how this became six degrees of Pink—would come in last, since golf burns a measly 287 calories per hour. That’s actually the worst showing, considering Justin’s the biggest contender, physically speaking. (If much-tinier Pink were golfing, she’d only burn around 205 calories in an hour.) But a round of golf is a four-hour odyssey, so those who can tolerate the tedium ultimately win the numbers game.

By the way, if you do hit the greens, skip the cart and hoof it. You’ll burn about 25% more calories if you walk the course and carry your clubs. (Justin, for example, could burn 300 extra calories per game.)
