Most moms I know are super busy, don’t have a ton of time to workout, but would really like to lose a few pounds. I know I would!
So here are 10 ways you can burn 100 calories, fast! Work in a couple of these activities each day (which take 15 minutes or less) and you might find that you’ve lost a few pounds by Christmas. And that will definitely help Mom feel more beautiful. Merry Christmas to you 
10 ways to burn 100 calories, fast!
- Jump rope for 10 minutes
- Run around the block once (talk about multi-tasking – you could do this with your kids to burn some of their energy at the same time, or use it to get some quiet time to yourself right after the hubby comes home)
- Give your kid a piggy-back ride for ten minutes (if they’re over 22 pounds, if not, go for 15 minutes!)
- Drink 8 glasses of ice-cold water (over the course of the day, naturally) and it raises your metabolism by about 100 calories
- Shovel snow for about 15 minutes (I use this one all the time during our winter-wonderland Michigan winters. My hubby loves it, and I get quiet time AND a workout!)
- Wrestle with your kids on the floor for about 15 minutes
- Get some last-minute Christmas shopping done by powerwalking through the mall for 19 minutes
- Wrap 21 gifts when you get home
- Run up and down stairs for 11 minutes (hey, you’re probably doing this anyway, right?)
- Do Pilates or Yoga for 20 minutes
