10 Easy Ways To Burn 100 Calories

Staying fit is important, we all know that. It makes you look fit, it makes you feel good and it’s great for your health and longevity. But the idea of going to the gym every day can be quite off-putting for many people. But here’s the thing, working out doesn’t have to be a 2-hour-long session every day at the gym. You don’t have to push yourself that hard. In fact, there are plenty of activities that burn 100 calories in very little time.

1. Walking

This is honestly the easiest thing you can do, it doesn’t even feel like a workout. You could be having a leisurely walk in the park, paying a visit to your family or friends who live a few blocks away, going to the store and back. If you live close to your work you could just walk to work. Either way, just 20 minutes of walking burns around 100 calories. And if you’re walking uphill, you’ll burn that in half the time.

2. Swimming

Swimming is fun, most of us look forward to going on the summer vacation just so that we can swim in the sea for hours. Perhaps you’re lucky enough to have your own pool, or you have a public pool nearby, either way just 15 minutes of leisurely swimming burns 100 calories, and if you’re more of a fast front crawl swimmer – you’ll burn that in 7 minutes flat.

3. Cycling

You could do some biking at the gym, or you can take your bike (or rent a city bike) and explore the city. Just 15 minutes of leisurely cycling is enough to burn 100 calories, but we’re pretty sure it’s so fun that you’ll do it for way longer than that.

4. Zumba

What is Zumba? Is it dancing? Is it aerobic? We’re not sure, but it sure is fun. With Zumba, you’ll burn 100 calories in just under 10 minutes, but the health benefits and the positive vibes will last all day.
