Why get active? Other than giving yourself the opportunity to burn calories and lose weight, your skin produces Vitamin D through sun exposure and your body uses it in many vital functions, including absorbing calcium and bone growth. 1. Going for a walk: As short or as far as you would like, a few extra steps a day will help your heart and cardiovascular system. An hour long leisurely stroll can burn 150 to 200 calories.* 2. Starting a garden: Pick a spot that will see a lot of sunshine and get to work. Onions, peas, and spinach can be planted anytime, while crops like lettuce, carrots, broccoli, and beets can be planted in early spring. Not only will you be getting physical, youll be giving yourself healthy options to eat in the future. One hour of gardening can burn about 320 calories.* 3. Wash your car: Give your car a shine. If it takes you an hour youll burn about 270 calories* - not including the water fight that is bound to ensue. *All estimations are based on a 180 pound individual and should be adjusted accordingly.
