Burn calories

15 Jul

sumoConvenience is another culprit in the obesity epidemic. Most of us don’t get enough exercise-the kind people got in the 60s, before electrical appliances and remote controls took over. Even tiny changes can lead to weight loss, so swap these modern tasks for calorie burning flashbacks.
Today we send office e-mails instead of just walking to a colleague’s cabin. Getting out of our seat and walking inside the office helps in burning up to 5 cal per trip.
While making a cake, stir cake batter hand instead of using an electric mixer. By doing so we can burn up to 25 cal.
Instead of driving our childhood to school or to the bus stop, walk her. For an 800 hundred meter round-trip we can burn 45 cal.
Climb the stairs instead of taking the left, by which we can burn 4 cal per floor.
Do not play video games with the kids, instead play catch with them. An hour of play burns up to 285 cal.
Instead of getting your car washed, wash it and clean it by hand, you can lose up to 180 cal.
Dusting and mopping the house instead of using a vacuum cleaner, helps in burning more calories.
