Fast Ways To Burn 100 Calories
80Had a little too much to eat? The most important part of maintaining your weight is balancing the calories coming in with the calories going out. So in all actuality, if you consume a hundred calories too many you can simply perform some type of physical activity to burn off that number of calories and things should stay stable. Keep in mind you can over do this principle and exercise should not start to be used on a regular basis as a way to make-up for your over eating, but once in a while it can prove to be useful.
That said, here are a few ideas of what you could do in order to burn off 100 calories.
5. Clean House
Everyone's favourite. Next time its time to get the chores done, think about how you'll actually be burning calories while you do it. Once it's finished you could even treat yourself to one of the treats listed here. Not only will housecleaning improve your physical shape more than sitting on the couch watching TV, you'll also have a clean house to boot! Usually you can torch 100 calories in about 20-25 minutes of vigorous cleaning.
6. Jump In The Lake
If you're spending the day at the beach and had one too many fancy beverages, work off some of those calories by going for a swim. At about 8 calories per minute, it doesn't take long to burn a significant amount of calories. Just make sure the fancy beverages you are burning off are alcohol free or else you could be in for some trouble.
7. Have A Game Of Touch Football
Nothing gets the adrenaline flowing like some one-on-one contact. Take it outside for a quick game of touch football. 15 minutes would be all you need to blast off 100 calories, not to mention strengthen your lower body and core muscles.
8. Relax With Some Yoga
After a hard day at work try and relax with some yoga rather than another sedentary activity. It will help ease stress, improve flexibility and keep you out of the cupboard. A 30 minute session will be what you need to burn off about 100 calories.
1. Run a mile.
There's nothing like a quick jog to get the blood pumping through your body and keep you alert. You'll burn about 100 calories per mile you run so next time you've been sitting just a little too long, lace up the running shoes and take a few trips around your block.
2. Do a full body circuit a few times through.
You can burn off 100 calories by performing about 15-20 minutes of circuit training plus increase your strength at the same time. Remember to try and keep moving between sets and go from one exercise to another. It's best if you can alternate upper body movements with lower body movements so one can rest while the other is working.
3. Go for a 20 minute bike ride.
Take in some of the scenery around where you live by going for a short bike ride. It seems the days when adults used to bike to work are long gone so try and bring this back. If you live within a reasonable distance from work, bike to work rather than drive. You'll also be amazed at what you'll save on gas over time.
4. Jump Rope for 10 minutes
Jumping rope is one of the most intense physical activities you can do. Not only is a great way to increase your cardiovascular endurance, it's also a good way to increase upper and lower body strength as well. Start off trying to skip for a minute straight, then march in place for an equal amount of time. Repeat this process for 10 minutes and then slowly work on decreasing the marching time and increasing the skipping time.
10. Go Golfing
Golfing is an excellent way to enjoy the summer, catch up with old friends and burn calories at the same time. Twenty minutes out on the greens (assuming you are walking) will burn about 100 calories. Considering how long it takes you to play a full round, an afternoon of golfing will earn you a very hearty dinner.
9. Mow The Lawn
Whether it's summer or winter where you live, mowing the lawn and shovelling the driveway are two very good ways to burn a high number of calories. You'll burn about 100 calories in 20 minutes of mowing the lawn and 100 calories in 15 minutes of shovelling the driveway (assuming a hand mower, not a drive mower!)
