Do you burn extra calories a day ?
Let us know :)

Burn an Extra 100 Calories

Don't sit down! Standing an extra hour a day can help you burn an extra 100 calories. So, give up your seat on the bus. You'll be doing a good dead and burning calories. Go to a show or play and ditch the seats for standing room only. It's an entertaining way to burn calories.

Ok Hugs I will be reading my book for 3 to 5 minutes to burn my calories instead of sitting down.


That is an easy workout.

I remember hearing similar advice long ago......


Don't lie down when you can sit
Don't sit down if you can stand
Don't stand if you can be moving!
