Sometimes exercising can be a real drag, especially if you are keeping to the same routine every day. Why not get creative with it and incorporate exercise into your daily routine? It is not just about eating healthy, you will need to exercise as well. However, it can still be fun.
So, if you really want to lose that jelly-belly, do five of these creative calorie burners each day to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week:
1. Get off the couch 33 times to change the channel.
2. Play beach volleyball for 13 minutes.
3. Go to the pool and dog-paddle for 17 minutes.
4. Go to the pool and do 250 breast strokes (approximately 10 minutes).
5. Walk up and down 33 flights of stairs.
6. Push a grocery cart for 45 minutes.
7. Carry five grocery bags from the car to the kitchen and put them away, take out the trash, wash the dishes and wipe down the kitchen counter.
8. Eat chili for a couple of days. Research shows that chili peppers boost your metabolic rate, burning 50 more calories a day.
9. Eat four meals with chop sticks instead of a fork. Slowing down can help you consume 25 fewer calories per meal.
10. Take a leisurely walk in the park for 51 minutes.
11. Walk backwards in the park for 43 minutes. For every 8 calories burned walking forward, walking backwards burns 10.
12. Shop during your lunch break while carrying a 7 pound bag.
13. Twirl in your chair at work 123 times, but don’t let your boss see you.
14. Drink 3 cups of green tea in 24 hours.
15. Chug 12 8-ounce glasses of ice water a day.
16. Go 20 mph on your bike for 6 ½ minutes.
17. Walk on a treadmill at 3.5 mph for 23 minutes.
18. Jump rope as fast as you can for 8 minutes.
