Last week we talked about how to “trim” 100 calories or more from our daily diet. In this week’s post, I’d like to propose a few simple ways to burn 100 calories by introducing a bit of exercise into your daily routine.
Choose the activity that suits you best or come up with something similar!
| Activity | Number of minutes to burn 100 calories* | ||
| 1. | Climbing stairs | 15 minutes | |
| 2. | Brisk walking | 13 minutes | |
| 3. | Shovelling snow | 15 minutes | |
| 4. | Gardening | 20 minutes | |
| 5. | Doing housework | 20 minutes | |
| 6. | Cycling with the family | 15 minutes | |
| 7. | Playing tag with the children | 15 minutes | |
| 8. | Dancing calmly | 25 minutes | |
| 9. | Running one kilometre in six minutes (speed 10 km/h) | 6 minutes | |

I enjoy about 12 cups of caffeinated java daily. This does not affect my weight loss plan as I have learned to like it black. No cream and no sweeteners of any sort. But will supplements that contain caffeine benefit me?
