It does not matter if you are going to see a friend or to buy something in a near store, go on foot or by using a bicycle, the idea here is to avoid using your car when you go a short distance.
According to many health experts, you can lose around 200 calories by walking or riding a bicycle during 20-30 minutes.
3: Sing
Even if it seems bizarre, singing for an hour and a half will help you burn those horrible extra calories.
The best thing is that you can do it while you shower (i love shower singing) when you’re stuck in traffic or with your friends if they go partying.
4: Drink water with ice
The next time you are thirsty, choose to drink very cold water. That way you can accelerate your metabolism and burn around 25 calories per glass because your body uses extra energy to heat the liquid. So, 2 liters a day = 200 calories less.
