You can burn 100 calories without really trying. Ten ways to do it...


How would you like to burn 100 calories without trying too hard? 

Livestrong.com has 10 ways to do that:

• Go Bowling: Competitive and will burn 100 calories in 27 minutes.

• Walk the Dog: Dog owners are usually in better shape than people without pets. Walking at 4 miles per hour will burn 100 calories in about 18 minutes.

• Go Swimming: 14 minutes of normal swimming will burn off 100 calories. High-energy strokes, like the breaststroke, will rid you of your 100 calories in eight minutes.

• Jump Rope: 100 calories in just 8 minutes!

• Cook a Meal: Cooking for 33 minutes will burn off 100 calories.

• Rake the Leaves: Twenty-one minutes of raking the lawn and sacking leaves or 18 minutes of pulling out weeds will burn 100 calories.

• Dance: About 15 minutes of dancing will burn 100 calories. 

• Wash the Car: 100 calories in 18 minutes.

• Use the Stairs: 14 minutes on a step stair machine will burn 100 calories, but the stairs in your house, apartment or office building will work just as well.
