I saw this article and found it interested. Please share your ways of burning calories.
Let's face it. Now is the time of year tha tyou want to kick that calorie burn into high gear. We are neck deepin the holiday festivities, so we are all looking to get our metabolisms roaring, right? So how do you know what exercises and activities are going to give you the biggest bang for your calorie-burn buck?I have put together a list of various activities to give you an idea of how each affects your burn. Sitting still (aka at rest), most people expend roughly 1-2 calories per minutes, depending on your body weight, etc. I have included both activities that burn a lot of calories, and also a separate chart that shows activities that don't burn very many.
Use these charts as references so that you can get moving this season and burnoff those extra goodies here and there that you want to enjoy along the way.
Note: This chart is based on a 150-pound woman. Men and women weighing over 150 pounds will burn more calories during the same activities, and those that weigh less will burn less.

I find the best way to burn calories is just by moving. They actually say that if you just walk everyday you will lose weight and burn calories. The great thing about walking you can put your ipod on and walk and listen to great music. And another thing about using the ipod you can buy a Nike Plus Sports Kit and it'll tell you how many calories you are burning how fast your walking and so much more. I love it and you can actually compete with others so you can have competition too. That way it keeps you more motivated.
Some other ways I like to work out is Core Rhythms which really works your abs. And of course another way is the Total Gym where you use your weight as resistance and it actually burns more calories.
These are just a few plus there's some great ways of keeping track of your weighloss too and another site to get paid for it too. If you'd like to know add me as a friend and I'll send you the links :)
