Burn The Burgers

There are many ways that you can burn calories without even having to think about it. Everything from doing the shopping to kissing your loved one can help lose those love handles. It's not all about pumping iron and running miles.


Lets start at home, you can do many things around the house every day that can help you. General cleaning for one hour can burn approximately 176 calories, whilst painting a room burns around 317 calories an hour.

When looking after children it can be hard to make sure you are getting enough exercise, but taking care of them could contribute to keeping you active. dressing and feeding a child can burn about 230 calories per hour (maybe more if the child is a wriggler). Pushing a pushchair around burns up to 200 calories an hour. Playtime is always a good way to keep yourself and the child fit, which can burn around 300 calories for an hour of moderately active play.

When someone says they are going out for the night, it doesn't have to involve eating or drinking so much that your fitness regime has to suffer. Just one hour of dancing can burn as much as 317 calories. This doesn't mean you have to dance till your heart is pounding through your mouth, even a slower pace such as ballroom dancing can have this effect on your body.
