14 Ways to Burn 100 Calories on a Typical Day

Source

Getting more physical activity can keep your heart healthier, your muscles stronger, your bowel movements more regular (seriously), boost your mood, and may even improve your memory and thinking skills. And if none of that motivates you - it also burns calories. Adding more physical activity in your life doesn't have to mean sweating away at the gym, or twisting yourself into a pretzel at a yoga studio. While those are great ways to become more active, there are lots of other easy ways to get moving. Below are some activities you can do on a typical day (while also accomplishing other things!) to burn 100 calories*:
