Four Ways To Lose Weight Without Hitting The Gym

Have you stuck to your New Years Resolution, or given up entirely? Was your resolution to lose some weight? Do you wanna kick that program into high gear but can't make it to the gym? I found a list online of random ways to burn between 100 and 400 calories without going to the gym.  It's a reminder that you can burn a lot of calories just by being more active, and not sitting around watching Netflix.

All the numbers are based on what the average woman would burn.  So if you're a guy, you'd actually burn more.

1.  You can burn 100 calories by playing with your dog for 30 minutes, singing karaoke for 45 minutes, or cooking dinner for an hour.

2.  You can burn 200 calories by dancing for 30 minutes, going for a light bike ride for 45 minutes, or washing and cleaning out your car for an hour.

3.  You can burn 300 calories by gardening for an hour, throwing a Frisbee around for 90 minutes, or going shopping for two hours.

4.  You can burn 400 calories by helping a friend move for 45 minutes, doing yard work for 90 minutes, like raking up leaves and mowing the lawn, or by spending two hours bowling.  If you drink beer the whole time, you'll counteract that though.
