Losing weight is not an easy thing, that’s for sure. Mainly, in order to do that, you have to burn the extra calories that have found a lovely home in your system, waiting to be transformed into fat.
Below you will find 11 effortless ways to facilitate the process of burning calories:
- Dance around the house or jump on the bed, whatever you feel like doing. Don’t be afraid to be silly every once in a while!
- Clean around the house because 25 min of vacuuming burns up 100 calories. Besides, tidying your home is imperative anyway, so this might be the motivation to do it more often.
- Volleyball and swimming – these are probably the most enjoyable sports for the great majority. However, you can burn calories by doing any type of sport, so pick your favorite and start exercising!
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator. After all, that’s why they’re there.
- Hit the sauna – especially after a workout. It’s a very pleasant way to burn more calories than you initially intended, even though you don’t actually put any effort into it.
- Wash the car by yourself – another chore you won’t be sorry you’ve done.
- Ride a bike to work instead of going by car. This represents a major trend nowadays, plus it is economical and it also protects the environment. Show that you care both about you and the world you live in!
- Drink green tea to help your metabolism in the process of losing weight.
- Stretch your muscles, no matter what you are about to do. By doing so, you lose more calories than you would by not stretching them. And what does it cost you, maybe 3 minutes of your time? I think you can afford that!
- Buy a pedometer. Consequently, you will be able to aim at least 200 steps more every day, which obviously burns a significant amount of calories and it keeps you going further.
