They say you have to pay for every ice cream you eat at the gym. What if you don't like boring workouts? Get extra active throughout the day with these five simple steps that will burn at least 100 extra calories and boost your metabolism.

1. Dance
Physical education should not be a chore! Replace it with dancing and make a mini-playlist of four favorite songs: the more actively you move, the more calories you will lose. Just 10-15 minutes of incendiary boogie-woogie will not only cheer you up, but also burn an average of 100 calories.
2. Go shopping
Now you have a convincing argument against your husband's ridicule: every 40 minutes of shopping burns 100 calories or more. Spending an entire weekend in a mall is no longer a crime, but an active workout.
3. Take care of the garden
What could be better than spending time in the garden and burning those extra calories? Just imagine: just 20 minutes of weeding or planting flowers will burn as many as a hundred calories.
4. Help with the move
If your friends need your help with moving - do not refuse. You will not only do a good deed, but also take care of your figure: moving requires you to often lift and carry boxes, which will eliminate 100 calories in just 20 minutes.
5. Try interval charging
When there is no time or energy for a full workout, short active exercises will help you - this is the most effective way to burn calories in minimal time.
Easy exercises:
- Jumps: 20 seconds
- Rest: 10 seconds
- Walk with knees up: 20 seconds
- Rest: 10 seconds
- Rope: 20 seconds
- Rest: 10 seconds
Repeat the program 9 more times and say goodbye to an extra hundred calories!
