8 Fun Ways to Burn 100 Calories
Shedding a few calories doesn’t have to be hard work or boring! I want to share 8 ways to burn 100 calories while smiling and having fun in the process!
#1: Jump on your Bike
When you were younger, you probably rode your bike everywhere you wanted to go, right? One of the easiest and fun modes of getting around is, biking! It lets you feel the wind and experience nature all around you in ways that can’t be done when driving a car or sitting on a bus seat. Jump on your bike for 15 minutes or more, keep the pedals moving at a good clip and you’ll burn 100 calories from your waistline.
#2: Head to the Links
When you walk an entire 18-hole golf course, you will burn 100 calories within your first few holes and a lot more by hole 18. Not interested in hunting down your stray ball in the woods, no problem. How about a round of miniature golf, it certainly won’t be as intense, but it will be enough to burn 100 calories. And hey, act like a goof ball the whole time so you embarrass your kids and you’ll burn even more!
#3: Get Your Climb On
Are you up for an adventure or ready to try something new and out of your comfort zone? Then, put on some climbing shoes and visit your local climbing wall. And don’t worry, you won’t have to climb hundreds of feet to burn 100 calories. You’ll burn through that many calories in less than 10 minutes but be careful, climbing is a great workout and is highly addictive.
#4: Fly Across the Water
A great way to stay cool in the summer heat while you burn 100 calories plus, is an afternoon of water skiing. You’ll drop 100 calories in your wake after just 15 minutes of plowing through the water and every minute after gets rid of even more calories and you’re not even breaking a sweat.
#5: Have a Drumset Collecting Dust?
By far one of the most fun instruments to play is the drums, however, they can be physically demanding as well. Pick up some sticks and bang around on them robustly for half an hour and you’ll exceed your goal to burn 100 calories and leave with a smile with your guns burning and pumped!
#6: As KC and the Sunshine Band said – Shake Your Booty
Even people who don’t like to dance in public smile while dancing in the privacy of their home with a family member. Act like a nut for four of your favorite songs in a row and know that you just shook 100 calories from your booty. How’s that for getting jiggy with it!
Trampolines aren’t just for kids you know. They’re for anyone and everyone who wants to burn 100 calories in half an hour. Wait a minute, jumping around giggling & laughing burns calories? Yes indeed, start bouncing around every day and see if you begin to see changes in your body. Trampolines also naturally detox your lymph system.
#8: Walking at the Mall
Your friends may not believe you, but the next time you go the mall, let them know you’re going so you can burn some calories. Even if you’re there for a short time, keep up a steady shopping pace for at least 40 minutes. That is enough to burn 100 calories.
Excuses don’t burn calories, getting your body moving does! Try these suggestions out and add in some of your own creations and just have fun with it!
