Aside from following a regimented fitness program, there are other ways to burn calories. Particularly, for the individual with an active lifestyle, here are a few ideas on burning 100 calories in daily routines:

Walk-it. Instead of jumping in the car to go 5-blocks away, clip-on a pedometer, and try to exceed 2,000 more steps, each day. A good target rate is 10,000 steps per day. Additionally, you can burn more calories by walking to the market and toting the grocery arms by hand.

Wash-it. When it is time to clean your car, opt to manually wash your automobile opposed to going through the car wash. Almost 100-calories can be burned washing and cleaning the car. (It’s good for the muscles.

Avoid the elevator. If you reside or work in a building with less than four flights of stairs, take the stairs for up and down trips.

Volunteer fitness. Use time on the weekends to volunteer at festivals, cultural facilities (museums and art). Try to sign-up for a task that will keep you on your feet. Over 100-calories can be burned in three hours. Essentially, volunteering can serve two purposes in one cause, giving time and burning calories.

For example, if you live close to a national park, you can volunteer your time as an environmental helper. The arms can be toned while clearing paths and trails. Not to mention, you’ll burn calories while working on the grounds.
