Last week we discussed how easy it is to consume an extra 100 calories per day, which can equate in over ten pounds of weight gain in a single year. Not only can you choose to cut out a simple 100 calories per day to help you lose this much weight slowly, but you can also do simple exercises to burn off an extra 100 calories per day. Opt for these exercises on days when you are unable to cut out those extra calories, or do them in combination to achieve a weight loss of potentially 20 pounds in a year! The following are just a few of the exercises you can do to burn off 100 calories quickly:
- Shovel snow for 12 minutes
- Rake leaves for 20 minutes
- Push the lawn mower for 14 minutes
- Type for 48 minutes
- Take the dog for a 23 minute walk
- Ride a bike for 21 minutes at a relaxing speed
These are just a few of the things you can do to burn 100 calories to help you lose weight. If you prefer to cut the 100 calories a day in your diet, try replacing snack foods, pizzas and breads with some of our great-tasting low-calorie options at ThinSlim Foods!
