Cleaning the House: Yes, I am really listing housecleaning as a fun activity. For starters, it will burn more calories than sitting on the couch. You could even leave your favourite show on while cleaning—at least this will keep you moving. You could start with vacuuming the floor: the forward-and-backward movement can help you engage your core muscles and use your arms as well. Sweep the floor while squatting rather than while bending down as this will work your leg muscles as well. Make sure you use both your arms evenly. Cleaning the windows and dusting will work your arms. If you are washing dishes, do calf raises while washing. The key is making even small activities effective and fruitful. I renovated my hall and rearranged the furniture, and the calories I burned in that period totalled 156 calories, with my average heart-rate at 83.

Concerts and Parties: Oh yeah, it’s party time! Yes, I am telling you to go party. The first thing I should and must say is that you can party once in a while, but this does not mean drinking excessively and getting drunk or overeating junk food. Partying every once in a while is all right—you get out, you move and, if there is good music, you dance, all of which means burning some calories. Assuming you are not doing anything that is detrimental to your health, there is nothing wrong with partying once in a while. It’s okay to go out with your friends, meet new people and shake a leg. I go out now and then, dance a lot and have a lot of fun, though I do not drink or smoke. Trust me, it’s mind over matter. If you want to have fun without drinking or smoking, you will be able to do so. In one hour of partying, in which you dance moderately, you will burn approximately 342 calories. If you do go for a party, remember to have fun and dance. After a night of partying, it is very easy to want to have some unhealthy greasy food, but choose tasty, healthier options instead. Do not get caught up in peer pressure—be your own boss and do what is right for you. Follow these few simple directions and you are good to go!

Playing on the Wii or Xbox: Surprised? But playing these games can actually help you lose weight. Some of these games get you up and moving, and actually let you have some real crazy fun. You can play alone and have a blast or call some friends over and have even more of a blast. I love playing on the Wii and we even have it at our studio; we often make clients play on it as a change. This helps them stay motivated, as it is an amazing change from what can otherwise be a regular, boring routine. Playing on the Wii can be quite a calorie-burner, and the excitement of it is a great stress-buster. Of course, to burn calories you must play games that require you to stand and move about.
