5 Easy Ways to Burn 100 Calories

By Stephen Cabral 

Everyone wants to trim, tone, and tighten their waist and body, but the problem is most people just don't burn enough calories during the day. In some ways it's really not your fault. You may work at a desk for 8 - 10 hours a day and have very few opportunities to get up and move around during the day. BUT, you can't let that be an excuse for you not to burn more calories than you take in. I've found the best way around this issue is to have my clients get away from their desk for 30+ minutes during lunch. I encourage them to go for a brisk walk before sitting down to eat a healthy and nutritious meal. Even a 20 minute fast-paced walk gets the blood flowing and the metabolism raised.

Here are 5 fun and easy ways to get up out of your chair, stretch your legs, and start getting fit. Quick 100 Calorie Burners:
