5 Easy Ways To Burn More Calories

1. Take The Stairs

On average, taking the stairs will burn more than seven calories per minute. Think about the time you spend waiting on the elevator and how many calories you could burn by taking the stairs instead.

2. Chew Gum

Chewing minty gum sends a signal to your brain that you are finished eating, which can jumpstart your metabolism. It also burns about one calorie per minute.

3. Laugh More

Laughing is healthy for both the body and the mind! Laughing burns a little over one calorie per minute, so try an hour-long comedy marathon on TV once in a while to burn a few calories without a second thought.

4. Focus On Getting Enough Sleep

The more you sleep, the less hungry you will be throughout the day and the more rested you will be to make better dieting decisions.

5. Stay Standing

Whether you’re waiting for your spouse to get dressed or for a table to open up, avoid sitting.  Standing burns 33 percent more calories, so spend that next sporting event cheering on your feet.
