Most people think that working out is for people who need to lose weight, tighten up or maintain fitness for something such as a race. The truth is working out is for anyone! Kids go to classes to get their energy out, people play sports for fun or for the competition, older people can exercise for more energy or for something to do. I started exercising because I was very overweight and needed to lose weight fast, I keep exercising because I find it fun, it helps boost my energy in the morning and de-stress after a long day, it's a place to talk to other people or not have to talk to a soul. If your looking to workout but don't really have a goal set try starting with these little exercises that can burn calories and leave you feeling great!
*Ride your bike: different levels of intensity will burn 150 calories. 15mph for 15minutes, 12mph for 20minutes, or 10mph for 25minutes
*Running or jogging: the faster you move the more calories you'll burn. 8mph for 10minutes, 6mph for 13minutes, or jogging for 20minutes. Also a nice benefit you can do this outside and get some sun!
*Team sports: burn calories while having fun with friends. Football, basketball, volleyball for 15minutes, soccer for 20minutes, or Frisbee for 40minutes. It's a great way to catch up with friends while being active.
*Outdoor sports: hike for 20minutes, ride a horse for 50minutes, go kayaking for 25minutes. Your workouts don't have to be boring!
*Walking: easiest way to burn calories because we do it everyday(or should). brisk pace for 30minutes, medium pace for 40minutes or slow pace for 50minutes. If you don't want to stick to a timed walk then just park your car farther away from work and walk in, walk your dog twice a day, take a walk with your spouse.
*Water activities: Whether playing in the pool with your kids or doing laps, moving for anywhere from 13-30minutes while in the pool can help you lose some calories
*Dancing: when was the last time you went dancing for fun? Disco dancing for 20minutes, line dancing for 30minutes, or ballroom for 40minutes can burn calories and make for a great date!
*Other helpful calorie burning fitness activities include: yard work such as mowing or raking, home improvement such as painting or washing windows, housework such as mopping, vacuuming or ironing clothes.
*You can even burn calories by reading for 2hrs or sleeping for 3hrs
