12 Great Ways to Burn Calories

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

Seems like a tall order but there is a handy formula for balancing your energy equation. If you want to calculate how many calories burned in a day you need to know a few things before you can proceed. A major key in weight loss is consuming fewer calories than we burn. Do this by eating fewer simple sugar products, like candy, cookies, and other sugar based products, and by eating fewer foods that contain white flour, like white bread, donuts, pizza, and bagels. Instead, opt for whole grain foods, non processed foods, low sodium foods, lean proteins, green vegetables, high fiber foods, and plenty of fresh fruits!

Here we have twelve great ways to burn your calories.
01. Instead of riding elevators or escalators, take the stairs.
02. At the supermarket park farther away from the door as you usually would. Take a couple extra laps around the market too if you have the time.
03. Instead of plopping down on the couch during "One Life to Live", do some house chores or better yet go for a nice brisk walk.
04. If you take the bus or the subway, stand in the aisle and let someone else have your seat.
05. Instead of going out to dinner, go out and walk, rollerblade or even play pool.
06. At work, instead of taking coffee breaks, take walk breaks!
07. If possible once or twice a week, ride your bike or to the gym.
08. Instead of sitting back and watching your children play, get on the floor and play with them.
09. Instead of letting the dog out to roam the yard, take the dog for a walk.
10. Cut the grass with a push mower.
11. When you watch TV, lie on your back and do some leg lifts or some isometrics with your arms while watching.
12. Wash the floors because it burns more calories than other typical house chores and uses many muscle groups. A clean floor isn’t so bad either. Just be careful of your knees.

You won't lose any weight at all if you don’t know how many calories your body needs to burn daily. Strive to burn calories efficiently when you are trying to lose weight!
