Transform yourself from a Coach Potato to a Calorie Killa! Whether you go out dancing or take a walk and enjoy this lovely Spring weather, just get active.
First, let me tell you how weight loss works: To lose 1 pound you have to burn an extra 3500 calories. Now, that may seem overwhelming, but if you take it one day at a time, it CAN be done. Starting today, I want you to fight for 500. That’s an extra 500 calories burn per day. You can do this by making adjustments to your diet, getting in a daily workout or a combination of both. For example, instead of 2 slices of bacon, have 1, swap your soda for water, Instead of French fries, order a salad or some fruit as your side. In terms of exercise, just move more! you don’t have to do a bunch a burpees to get an extra burn, try a brisk walk for 30 minutes, that can burn up to 300 extra calories alone!
Fight for 500 extra calories per day and by next week, you’ll be a pound lighter!
