I’ve long been persuaded by the adage that small changes can bring big results and this is especially true in the kitchen with food. It also works in the gym or indeed anywhere else that you choose to do your exercise or activity. I still think weight-loss primarily begins in the kitchen, on the plate and on the fork but you can get huge benefits from making changes to increase your movement. I found this feature interesting on two counts – the range of things you can do and also how long it took each of them to record a 100-calorie burn. Are you as surprised as me? I know I can build more of them into my daily schedule – I now know which ones to start with and what to expect ….
 

 
Everything you do burns calories—breathing, sleeping, standing, and all of the active pursuits you enjoy. But what does it take to burn just 100 calories? You may be surprised by how little—or how much—activity you have to do to achieve that goal! To put it all in perspective for you, we’ve gathered 50 different ways to burn 100 calories. From standard exercises you do at the gym, to everyday chores around the house, you can burn 100 calories in just a few short minutes of your day.

Keep in mind that not all movement is created equal. In order to classify an activity as a cardio ”exercise,” you must be working at 60-80% of your maximum heart rate. (You can calculate your target heart rate here.) However, even though periods of less intense activity may not count as part of your workout, they still provide health benefits and burn extra calories. After all, the less sitting you do, the better!
