How to Burn More Calories Without More Exercise

By Genevieve Cunningham

Burning calories is something that happens naturally. We consume calories through the food that we eat, and then we burn them off with the movement that we engage in. And of course, when we want to lose weight, we know that we have to burn more calories through exercise. But what happens when exercise isn’t a possibility? When life gets in the way or there isn’t enough time? When this happens, all hope is not lost. Take a look at these tips for burning more calories without ever hitting the gym.

Get Your House Sparkling Clean

Cleaning burns massive calories. The scrubbing, the bending, the sweeping, the mopping. The more you clean, the more calories you’ll burn. So if you’re looking to burn some calories without working out, cleaning may be just the way to do it. As an added bonus, you’ll also have a house that sparkles and shines all of the time.

Eat Calorie Burning Food

While anything you eat will add to your caloric intake for the day, certain foods may help speed up your metabolism and maximize the calorie burn. Make sure that your cabinets and refrigerator are stocked with spicy items such as chili peppers, cayenne, and jalapenos. These spicy foods heat up the body, which in turn speeds up the metabolism, and burns more calories on a daily basis.

Stop Doing Everything in One Go

When you get home from the grocery store, you try to take everything inside in one go. Admit it, we all do this. In fact, we try to make as few trips as possible in every situation. While this can make sense in some scenarios (one drive across town is enough, thanks), it can burn more calories if you simply take your time and make more trips. Split up the groceries into appropriate sized loads and make two or three trips. The more you have to walk, the more calories you’re going to burn, and you won’t even have to exercise to do it.

Exercise is great for the body, but it doesn’t always fit in the schedule to hit the gym. When life gets too busy, just use these tips to burn more calories without the exercise. They’ll help tide you over until your time opens back up. With just a few minor changes to your normal, everyday routine, calorie burn and better health can be a part of your life for good.
