Most people feel like they have to hit the gym to burn some extra calories, but that’s not a must. Simple tasks that we all do on a daily basis can also give you a great calorie burn, while being fun and enjoyable at the same time.
Dancing
Dancing your heart out is always super-fun, so it’s easy to forget it’s also an effective workout. In addition to burning between 200 to 400 calories in just half an hour, depending on the activity you pick, dancing is also great for muscle strength, bone density, and balance.
Doing Chores
Housework can also burn a lot of calories, especially if you’re doing a wide variety of different chores. Sweeping, mopping, dusting, and other cleaning activities include a lot of stretching and bending that double down as a workout.
Swimming
Swimming is another activity most people do for fun but still manage to burn approximately 100 calories in just 10 minutes, depending on the swimming style.
Gardening
Gardening can be great for both your mind and body. In addition to helping you get in touch with nature and clear your mind, gardening will help you stay fit since you’ll be walking and squatting the entire time.
