Hey everyone! I need some suggestions on how to burn 100 calories inside my own home. It's raining its butt off outside so I cant go for a walk or jogging. If it makes any difference, I'm 5'4, 125 pounds.

    I just walk back and forth while watching TV, in an hour I can get a ton of steps in, and lots of extra calories.

    Do you own a kettlebell? A quick kettlebell routine is a good workout

    One very quick way would be to eat about one less slice of bread.

    Jumping Jacks.
    Burpees.
    Either or combo of both will burn 100 calories in about 15 minutes or less.

    I usually just dance, jog, do jumping jacks, or run in place for a little while. Very easy to do!

    Not sure on how much you burn but circuit training: 30 jumping jacks, 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, 30 sec wall sit, 10 burpees, then a 30 second rest. Do that about 3-5 times.

    Go to Sworkit.com (Get the phone app if you want to tie it to your MFP account), pick a type of workout, pick a length of time. And go!

    On a regular basis when i have been sitting in front of the computer for to long I set my Bodymedia to tell me when I hit 100 cals, jump up and start doing weird random cardio, running in place, pretending I am jumping rope, body weight squats, planks, push ups, burpees, jumping jacks, fast feet, lunges, jumping side to side, whatever. Normally takes me about 8-10 minutes to burn 100 cals.

    If you don't want to do it all in one shot, do your quickie workout during 2 sets of commercials.
