Fat burning exercises can be most everything we do, from walking up
and down the stairs to house cleaning to walking the pets...
While
we can think of many different exercises to burn more calories, the
fact remains that burning more calories than we consume is key to weight
loss.
Here then are four fun ways to burn more calories.
Although you may find it difficult to shut your mind off at night, did you know that getting a solid eight hours of sleep every night can burn well over 350 calories a night. It pays to get into a sleep-inducing routine every evening.
By setting yourself up for a good night’s sleep about an hour or two before settling in, not only do you get a healthy body, mind, and spirit, you also have the opportunity to burn calories without moving a muscle. Now, that is a win-win situation.
Instead of running the car through the car wash, gather your family around and make it a family affair. Not only will you save money by washing the car yourself, you will also be turning this into a fat burning exercise and spend time with your family.
Washing your car can be fun, especially at the end when everyone gets the opportunity to wet each other with the hose - and you have the possibility of burning more than 100 calories. Kids love it...
Grow a Garden...
Even if you do not have a green thumb, the benefits of growing a garden are numerous. You will have the benefit of trying something new and no matter how big or small, you're sure to achieve success.
Gardening gives you the bonus of seeing something through from beginning to end. Whether you grow flowers or vegetables you get to see the birth of something new and gardening has the potential to help you burn up to 300 calories per hour. It also clarifies the mind.
Power Walking...
If you enjoy going for a leisurely stroll, why not take it up a notch. Power walking is not only fun but also a great excuse to meet up with neighbors.
Reach out to someone who is likely to be interested in walking but is at the same level as you. So if you are a beginner walker, do not get together with someone who is an avid runner or power walker. Begin with a beginner.
As you go along, you will see that you are able to navigate hills and walk for longer time periods. It is great for the mind, body, soul, and a fat burning exercise to boot, while having a fun conversation with your neighbor.
