How to Burn an Extra 100 Calories Daily

Fighting the battle of the bulge is a difficult task, but even a bit of exercise will help you take off the weight and keep it off. Expensive exercise equipment
is not mandatory. In most circumstances, you can burn calories easily in normal daily routines or activities. These steps are for a person who weighs about 150 pounds. If you weigh more, you will burn more calories with the same level of effort in the same amount of time.
