Here are some situations that can be easy ways to burn calories:
1.Instead of sitting on the bus, stand up and let the elderly have your seat.
Stand on the bus while you’re going to work or school. The movement of the bus will immediately activate your muscles, which will begin to maintain balance and stability. While you're trying to keep your balance on the bus, various muscle groups will strengthen and burn calories much faster than sitting in the bus seat.
2.Drink cold water.
Cold water isn’t only refreshing but also burns extra calories. Why? Our body maintains the same body temperature, so when you drink cold water, it works harder to keep its temperature, which means burning more calories.
3.Play with your children instead of watching them while they have fun.
After you get home from work, probably all you want to do is rest, but it’s better to join your children. Not only that you’ll spend quality time together but also the games played with them will burn a lot of calories.
4.Take the responsibility for shopping.
The usual groceries shopping burns about 150 calories. Take a basket instead of a cart, don’t buy a lot of products and carry the bags in your hands to the car, not in the cart.
5.While at work try to move around and stand as much as you can.
Use your break at work not only for lunch but also to move around. Stand while talking to your colleagues, move around while talking on the phone, stand while you’re reading your emails. Be creative and use every chance. Standing burns calories 40% more than sitting.
6.Make spicy meals.
Hot spices, especially chili can speed up your metabolism by 50%. The effect lasts about 3 hours after the meal.
7.Park your car further away from work or get off the bus earlier.
Each step is important when you want a fit body. Plan your time accordingly and leave your house earlier so you can have time for some physical activity. The energetic 20-minute walk burns about 90 calories. Maybe it sounds like it’s not a big deal, but it’s a lot if you practice it 2-3 times a day.
8.Relax your partner with massage.
A massage will make your partner happy and relaxed and you’ll burn calories. 30-minutes massage will burn 120 calories.
9.Compete with yourself while cleaning.
Set a goal to clean a part of your home for a specified period. For example, clean the toilet in 20 minutes or the kitchen in 40 minutes. The energetic cleaning burns more than double calories compared to slow cleaning.
10.Skip the elevator, take the stairs.
Using the elevator might seem more practical, but it takes away a chance for you to strengthen the muscles and burn a few calories.
11.Mow your lawn.
Don’t give this responsibility to your family members. Take the time to mow your lawn in the morning, by doing this you will burn about 140 calories.
12.Wash your own car.
Why throw money into an hour-long car wash when washing the car can be a fun activity that will burn a few calories. Washing the car requires a lot of movement. This will not only make your car shine but will also help you keep your figure. Want to burn even more calories? Clean the car inside.
13.Watch a horror movie.
You’re not sure what movie you should watch this weekend? Go for something that will scare you. The acceleration of the heart caused by fear burns around 113 calories in 90 minutes. According to a study made by the “University of Westminster”, scarier movies like “The Shining” can burn up to 184 calories.
