3 Ways to burn an extra 300 calories a day
When you can't exercise
The best way to burn calories is by exercising, but you can still burn plenty of calories by doing simple, everyday things.
Sometimes these things are automatic, and if you don't have time to exercise during the day, all you need to do is jack them up a notch.
Everyday calorie-burners
-
Cleaning the house. It might be annoying to tidy up here and there every day, but light housework (even dusting) can burn 170 calories an hour!
-
Grocery shopping. You walk up and down those aisles quite a few times during a grocery shop. Add that to the walk to and from your car, and carrying the groceries, and you can easily burn around 156 calories an hour.

Dancing. Waiting for the oven? Had a long and stressful day? Put the music on and dance like no one's watching. You can burn 100 calories by doing just 20 minutes of dancing!
