Calisthenics. Just 15 minutes of doing sit-ups, jumping jacks, knee lifts, lunges, and squats can burn approximately 137 calories. Again, during commercials while watching television would be a great time, but you can do them anywhere you can find some privacy, even while on breaks at work. See: Back to BasicsâEasy Exercise Routines.
How many unused calories is what's important here. Remember that you're burning calories just sitting around- about 80 an hour or so. You burn at least 1000 calories in a day just breathing, thinking and so on. A pound of fat contains roughly 4082 calories. So you'd have to consume 4082 calories beyond what you burn in a day to gain a pound of fat. Conversely, you'd need to burn 4082 calories more than you consume to lose a pound of fat.
