Every dieter is looking for some ways to burn some extra calories. But what if I told you that you could burn an extra 10,000 calories this month?

Sounds impossible? I assure you that it is much easier than you think. Each of the activities listed below will burn 10,000 calories if done throughout the month as directed.

(Calories burned are estimates only. Based on an average 150-pound person. Your actual calories burned may vary due to difference in weight or exertion.)

• Ready to make a splash? Spend just four and a half hours swimming per week and you’ll burn 10,000 calories.
• Jogging and biking are other heavy hitters. One hour a day, five days a week and you’ll hit the 10,000 mark.
• Sounds a bit too strenuous? Never fear. Just go for a brisk walk for an hour every day (yes, on the weekends too) to burn 10,000 calories.
• Do you have a small child? Good news… you can burn 10,000 calories wearing them for one hour and forty minutes a day.
• Are you a benefactor? By working two seven-hour shifts per week serving food to the homeless, you can burn 10,000 calories.
• You can even get rid of those 10,000 calories by watching TV… 35.5 hours a week! Just make sure you don’t snack while doing this “exercise.”

As you can see, in a very short time you could have burned 10,000 calories. And since a pound equals 3,500 calories, you could be saying goodbye to almost 3 pounds. even without making any changes to your diet. Now that’s good news.
