Unique Ways to Burn More Calories. See More Results!

There are some unique ways to burn the calories before you go to the gym. Some of them you do daily or weekly but perhaps not for as long as you should to burn off some significant calories. Here are some fun suggestions for you to try out:
  1. Plan to spend at least forty-five minutes pushing a shopping cart full of groceries around at your local grocery store. When you go to the store park far away from the front door and this will give you some extra steps for the day and a heavy cart to push.
  2. Do you have a garden? Pulling up weeds for twenty-five to thirty minutes will burn approximately 120 to 130 calories. When you are finished plant some flowers or vegetables and work off more calories.
  3. Do you like to shop for clothes? Trying on clothes means you are burning calories and you don't have to spend money.
  4. Instead of taking your car to the car wash, clean it yourself and that includes the inside.
  5. Does your house need cleaning? Combine two activities, turn on the music and dance and clean.
  6. Looks like your living room and maybe your bedroom needs a new coat of paint. Painting those walls will burn at least 200 calories an hour. 
  7. A fun activity during the week will help burn of calories and keep you active before going to the gym. Try bowling, golfing, or maybe a quick game of darts with friends. Have fun and burn those calories.
  8. If you have stairs, use them. If you don't then avoid elevators and put your legs to work
  9. Instead of sitting and waiting for your computer to download, get up and move around.
Our lifestyles have changed drastically in the last twenty years and we have become sedentary. We go to the gym or our exercise classes, but we forget that we should continue a more active lifestyle outside of our regular workout routine. Now is the time to take control, get up and get fit.
Yours in writing,
