Easy way Burning Calories

Fretting over the "calories in, calories out" adage when it comes to your weight loss or maintenance? If you find yourself walking too close to the break-even line, you might want to factor some of your daily activities into your calories out list. Even if you're not in the middle of a hardcore workout, your body burns calories constantly throughout the day. Every movement, every action you do--even breathing--burns calories. So everyday activities like vacuuming, doing the dishes, and cooking burn at least some amount of calories, and they can add up quickly.
Check out the 10 ways you can burn calories every day without even knowing it.

Press It Out

If you're pressing out your work shirts every morning, you can easily burn 76.5 calories with just a half hour of ironing.

Break Out the Swiffer

Dusting certainly isn't everyone's favorite household chore, but it might help you to know that just a half hour of running that dust rag around the house will burn 80 calories.

Your Inner Chef

Just 30 minutes of prepping a meal can help you burn between 75 and 111 calories.

Folding Frenzy

For some people, doing the laundry isn't so much a hassle, but folding all of those clean clothes? Forget it! If you can motivate yourself to tackle the clean laundry basket for just 30 minutes, you'll burn an additional 72 calories. Happy folding!

 

 

Sweep 'Till You Sweat

Running the vacuum always gets your heart a-pumping, but did you know that just half an hour of running the vacuum will melt off 90 calories. If you have a whole house of carpet to tackle, you'll rack 'em up f

 

Grabbing Some Produce

Burning calories while you're shopping for food? You bet. Just an hour of pushing that cart up and down the aisles will melt off 243 calories from your daily total. No wonder you're so hungry when you leave!

Skipping the Dishwasher

If you've been grumbling about doing the dishes by hand because your dishwasher is on the fritz, you might want to hold off getting it fixed. Tackling the plates and cups by hand for a half hour burns 160 calories!

Cutting the Green

If you're using a push mower to mow the lawn outside your house, you're way ahead of your "lucky" neighbors with the mega riding lawn mower. You're burning 324 calories in just an hour, while they're barely clocking 30.

Logging Some Screen Time

Believe it or not, you're even burning calories while you're glued to the computer desk (as long as you're not chowing down on snacks while you're surfing!) A half hour spent at the computer chatting, sending e-mails, or writing will burn between 41 and 61 calories. If you have an office job where you're continuously typing, that means you can melt off 650-970 calories in a day. Just keep your fingers off the office doughnuts and the high-calorie coffees and sodas, or you'll be undoing all of the work your fingers have put in for you!

Getting Some Shut Eye

If you're clocking eight hours of sleep a night, you're getting more than cardiovascular and psychological benefits. Even while you're asleep, your body burns up to 360 calories in eight hours of solid shut eye. All the more reason to hit the hay early tonight!
