51 Calorie Burning Activities

We need calories

Our bodies need calories. Depending on age and sex, we need anywhere between 2000 and 2600 calories every day. Unfortunately, most of us consume double and triple this number. The good news is there are many activities that you can do to get rid of those unwanted calories. In this article it will help you understand and decide on what is the right activities you should do.

The following are 10 of 51 calorie burning activities you can do from exercising to doing house hold chores.

 Bicycling

Whether it’s a real bike, or a stationary one, cycling is a great way to get your 

heart pumping and those calories burning. Just cycling for 15 minutes a day will

burn 119 calories. If you extend it to 30 minutes, you’ll burn 477 calories.

 Stairs or Treadmills

Stairs are great for toning up those legs. They can also burn calories. Don’t have stairs near you? Use a treadmill! Just 15 minutes can burn 102 calories, or the equivalent of each of these:

•        1 tbsp. of mayonnaise
•   1 banana
•        1 oz. of pastrami
•       2 small chocolate chip cookies

Weight Lifting

Working on that muscle tone? Weight lifting burns calories as well. 15 minutes

of pumping iron burns 51 calories. Not much, but if you extend your

training to 30 minutes a day, you’ll burn 204 calories. 

  Running

Lace up those tennis shoes. Running is an all-around great calorie-burning 

exercise. Running 12 minutes at 5 mph burns 109 calories. If you kick it up a 

notch and run 15 minutes at 7 mph, you’ll burn 196 calories. If you’re really 

devoted and run for an hour a day, you’ll burn 784 calories!

                      

Badminton

Hit that birdie! Badminton is a fun way to get in shape. A 20-minute game burns 102 calories, and an hour game burns 306 calories. 

 Sweeping and Mopping

Does it seem all the time you spend in the kitchen is sweeping? Don’t fret,

because while you’re sweeping you’re also burning calories. A quick 15-minute

sweep will burn 42 calories. Then if you mop, that’s another 77 calories. Not

much, but if you do it often those calories will really add up.

Washing Dishes

America’s least favorite chore, dirty dishes seem to never go away. There is

hope, however. If you spend 20 minutes doing dishes, you’ll burn 52 calories.

Doing this twice a day will burn 104 calories. If you have lots of dirty dishes,

you can burn 117 calories (45 minutes).

Cooking

Like to cook? While you’re making your meals, you can rest assured that

cooking burns calories. If it takes you 20 minutes to cook your meal, you’ll burn

57 calories. Multiply this by 3 meals a day, and that’s 171 calories. If you

prepare more elaborate meals, you could burn 128 calories per meal (45

minutes each).

  Grocery Shopping

Love to shop? Now you can love it even more knowing that you’re getting in

shape while you shop. A 30-minute grocery shopping trip will burn 119 calories.

Like to shop even more? An hour trip will burn 238 calories.
