Many Ways to Burn More Calories All Day Part -2

Stop Multitasking

Carry in groceries one at a time to sneak in more steps, advises trainer Lisa Kinder, of the 10 Minute Solution: High Intensity Interval Training DVD. "Something that might normally take you two minutes has now become a 10-minute activity," she says. Hey, it kills off 89 calories!"

Chew On This

Pop a piece of Big Red and you'll curb cravings when that 3 p.m. snack attack hits. Gum chewers in a University of Rhode Island study burned 5 to 8 percent more calories than nonchewers. Bonus: Researchers say it might help you consume 68 fewer calories, too. 

Do Grunt Work

Jobs today require less physical effort than they did 50 years ago. Translation: We're missing out on burning roughly 100 calories each day, found researchers from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Longer commutes, as well as meetings via Skype, have us in office-chair-potato mode. Make up for the loss by doing manual tasks, advises trainer Adam Rosante, author of The 30-Second Body. For example, copy documents (12 calories), tidy your cube and water your plants (15 calories total) and stand while filing (18 calories).

 

Let Your Phone Nudge You

Set your smartphone alarm to go off every 30 minutes as a reminder to get up. "Before you know it, hours can go by without leaving your desk," says celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak, author of 5 Pounds. Activity Trackers don't help if you're not actually moving. 

 Tote a Tiny Water Bottle

Swap your extra-large water bottle for one half its size. "This way, you'll have to refill, meaning you're moving more often," says Natalie Uhling, a trainer on NBC's streaming Radius Fitness.
