Three times a week I go for a 30 minute walk around the park. Sometimes I carry my weights during those walks. It can really help to burn some calories and start a healthy and anti-stress day.

Now this may seem extreme to some, but I've found the best way to make sure I burn extra calories is to strap on ankle weights when I head to the store.
I usually make a habit of this when I do my grocery shopping. I have a large family so I spend a lot of time in the grocery store.
So I just strap on my ankle weights and feel the burn. I am told I have great legs as well, and I don't deny it!

If you work in an office-building, you could take the stairs rather than take the elevator to rise.
I do this every day, it uses many calories and keeps me in great shape as well.
This can burn over 250 calories per 15-20 minutes. (and tightens your legs and buttocks as a nice side-effect)
Of course this works fine too if working in smaller buildings as well, thank you.

Simple idea, I find a fast walk for 20 min burns out 120 calories. Easy to do every day 2 or 3x when you see time.
Adds up to stay in good shape.

When I watch tv, I burn extra calories by fake jumping rope during commercials.
No equipment needed. I just jump and swing my arms like I would if I had a real jump rope.
It gets my heart rate going and usually by the time the commercials are over, I'm a little out of breath.

I am from the city and didn't get my driver's license until I was 29. I always used public transportation (Metro Buses and trains).
I was always pretty thin and petite.
Well; when I got my license and first car I noticed that I did gain about 10 lbs. Now getting caught in the rain; grocery shopping; and life in general were so much easier with a car.
But I did notice the weight gain.
Fortunately, I was pretty small so that people, including myself find the 10 lbs. attractive and healthy looking.
But, if you really want to burn calories fast; including public transportation in your routine will help tremendously. I gained the 10 lbs. in less than a month when I started driving.
